Intro: Am C F C (4x)
C            F        C 
I ran like a speeding train 
C               F          G 
Cut my hair and changed my name 
G        C         F 
Only had myself to blame 
F                 G   C 
For the company i was keeping 
Am C F C (2x) 
C                 F         C 
Curse my restless wandering feet 
C               F       G 
Prone to wander endlessly 
G                C       F 
All the love you gave to me 
F                   G    C 
It wasn't enough to keep me 
Am    C             F     C 
Oh, i stole from my father  
Am    C               F     
All i thought i could sell 
Am         C             F             C 
Tossed his copper, and i watched as it fell 
Am                   F            G            
But there wasn't any water in the wishing well 
Am C F C (2x) 
C               F    C 
Bent my knee to many kings 
C        F       G 
Idols of prosperity 
G                 C       F 
Heard that dollar calling me 
F    Am        F      C 
So i sought it in the city 
Am    C             F     C 
Oh, i stole from my father  
Am    C               F     
All i thought i could sell 
Am         C             F             C 
Tossed his copper, and i watched as it fell 
Am                   F            G            
But there wasn't any water in the wishing well 
 
Am       C              F  C   
For my soul, he made an offer 
Am         C            F 
And to the dust again i fell 
Am           C             F          C 
And oh, that devil's got a hold on me now 
              Am         F            G       C 
Because there wasn't any water in the wishing well
