[Verse 1]
G C
Time is a funny thing you know
D G C
No matter where you are it comes and goes
D G C G
I've lived my life one day at a time
Em D C
Time is all I've had and all I know
[Verse 2]
G C
Home is a state of mind it's said
D G C
Four walls and a roof inside your head
D G
To some it might seem strange,
C G
but I'm too damn old to change
Em D C
Now the warden says the state requires my bed
[Chorus]
G D G
It's been fifty years since they sent me here
C D
I had forty-nine more to go
G C
But a week from today
D G C
They'll open this gate for good
G C
And I'll have to walk away
Em D G
But Lord knows I'd stay if I could

[Verse 3]
C G C
I won't last a day out there alone
D G C
This prison cell's the only home I've known
D G
The world outside has changed,
C G
but the one inside remains
Em D C
I'll have to find a way to get back home
[Chorus]
G D G
It's been fifty years since they sent me here
C D
I had forty-nine more to go
G C
But a week from today
D G C
They'll open this gate for good

And I'll have to walk away
Em D G
But Lord knows I'd stay if I could

They'll open this gate for good

And I'll have to walk away
Em D G
But Lord knows I'd stay if I could
