[Verse 1]
     Em                          Cmaj7/E
In a dark and lonely corner of a time-worn dockside inn
         C#m7b5/E               A
Sits the local barstool warrior talking to his gin
Em                        Am/E
Tracing past decisions he motions for a shot
      C#m7b5/E                         Am
Is he doomed to be a man this world forgot?
       F                              G/F
Just a prisoner of the monster on his back
 
[Chorus 1]
            C             G/C
Call it bad luck, call it fate
        Dm/C                      Fm/C
Call it stuck here the rest of my days
          C                Gm
Serves me right, what went wrong?
    Abmaj7       F
And where do I belong?
 
[Verse 2]
       Em                             Cmaj9
In the glow of flashing lights on the shoulder of the road
Bm                              A
Clutching at the bruises on her skin
    Em                          Cmaj9
She tries to signal danger with anguish in her eyes
D/F#                                Am
Will he see the world of pain she's in?
F            G/F
Or is it too late?
 
[Chorus 2]
           C            G/C
Was it bad luck, was it fate?
     Dm/C                     Fm/C
Or a past that she couldn't escape?
         C                  Gm/C
It's not right, something's wrong
     Ab/C         F/C
Just where do I belong?

[Bridge 1]
         Gm             Ebsus2
Promises made crying in vain
    F      Dm                  Gm
All empty, never accepting the blame
    Ebsus2                Fsus4   F
And not letting go of the shame
           Gm                      Ebsus2
A river of tears as months turn to years
    F         Dm                     Gm
All wasted on someone not willing to change
    Ebsus2          Fsus4   F
Now only a shadow remains
 
[Bridge 2]
Bb/D       Eb                   Eb/G      F/A
No one can save you and there's no one to save
Gm          F/A
It has been written
Cm         Eb/Bb        Am7b5          Ebm6  D7      G
You will become all you think, all you feel, all you dream
 
[Finale]
        D/G                Am7/G      Cm/G       G
Now I'm cutting the anchor away and I won't look back
    Dm                    Ebsus2   C   Ebmaj7/Bb
I'm starting a new life today
Ebmaj7/G Ebmaj7 F/A       F6/G F G
Now      I      see where I    belong
