Lyrics

Door num ber two, it’s for you, lit tle la dy.

Is it (G5)all that you dreamed of?

Oh, if I knew what had been there wait ing, I’d have screamed out and jumped up.

(Em7)Now here I am, with my feet on the sand and a (A9)bod y that won’t move.

(Em7)Tide’s com in’ in, and I’m bound for a swim in a (Asus)pair of ce ment shoes.

He (Gmaj7)takes what he can, what he wants, does n’t mat ter if it’s ev er been giv en.

I took the bait and a chance on a man sold by the boy that he lived in.

And I was (Em7)wrong

to be lieve that strength makes you strong.

And I had (Em7)hope

in a change I would see in us both.

And now I’m (D)heav y.

He (G)lifts me, but nev er once (Am)car ried.

(C)Door num ber two I’ve al read y walked through.

(Gmaj7)Ask me the ques what he tion, who could a guessed I’d be here at this cross road?

Plain to be seen that it’s all up to me.

I’m no lon ger a he lone, though.

And I ing’s (Em7)changed,

and I see it more ev ’ry day.

And Noth ing (Em7)moves,

it’s a game to be played and to lose.

And now I’m (D)heav y.

He (G)lifts me, but nev er once (Am)car ried.

(C)Door num ber two I’ve al read y walked through.

(D)heav y,

un stead y.

But (Am)may be I’m get ting (Am)read y.

And this might catch fire

and char this ground.

I might lift this up (G)to on ly be (Am7)the one who’s gon (G)na get let (G5)down.

Will I be e nough (G)to get this on (Am7)its way to find (G)some high er ground?

Be fore the wat ers rush, (G)I’ve got to make (Am7)a change or else (G)I know I’ll drown.

(G5)Ba by, look a round.

(C)Door num ber two, I’ve al read y walked through.

I wan na see what’s be hind door num ber

three.
