G G/F# Em

[Verse]
Em                  D            Em          A
Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain
G                   F#m                Em                   
You can't know about everything, only pleasure and pain
Em               D              Em         A
You wonder why I come here with head to my hands
G              F#m                Em
Where else can I be cured and the king of your mansion
Em                                  G
A thorn in your side, a child to protect
                   D
That claims he's free

[Chorus]
D                                      F#m       A   
Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven
D                                             F#m      A
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection
             G                          Bm     A        
Darling come quickly, come ease my worried mind

       G                                   F#m  A         
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time

[Instrumental]
G G/F# Em

[Verse]
Em           D            Em         A
I've already made my bed, like it or not
G                    F#m               Em
As long as there's no regrets I'll be here when the ride stops
Em                                        G
These comforts to me and these crosses to bear
                D
With which we live

[Chorus]
D                                      F#m     A
Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven
D                                              F#m  A
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection
        G                        Bm   A
Baby, I can't drag you into this mess

I'm the thorn in your side and the child to protect

[Chorus]
And I'm just around the corner, half a mile to heaven
Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection
Darling come quickly, come ease my worried mind
For my prayers have not been answered in a long time
