Standard (EADGBE)

Verse1

 Living on my own, thinking for myself

 Castles in the sand, temporary wealth

 The walls are falling down, the storms are closing in

 And tears have filled my eyes, here I am again

Pre-chorus

 And I've held out as long as I can

 Now I'm letting go and holding out my hand

Chorus

Daddy, here I am again

 Will You take me back tonight

I went and made the world my friend

 And it left me high and dry

 I drag Your name back through the mud

 That You first found me in

 Not worthy to be called Your son

 Is this to be my end

 Daddy, here I am

 Here I am again

Verse2

with drums, guitar picking in background)

 Curse this morning sun

 Drags me in to one more day

 Of reaping what I've sown

 Of living with my shame

 Welcome to my world

 And the life that I have made

 Where one day you're a prince

 The next day you're a slave

Pre-chorus

same as before)
