He's got a (C)head like a brick, (G) dead (C)set in his ways (G)
Sticks and stones (D)couldn't lead that horse to wa-(C)ter (G)
He only (C)hears what he wants, (G) only (C)thinks of himself (G)
Momma said "Damn, that (D) boy is just like his fa-(C)ther" (G)
(Chorus)
And (C)he's doing (G)time on a (C)bed made of (G)stone
No (C)rest for the weary, (G) no more wishful (D)thinking
He (C)can't go (G)home, no starting (C) over a-(G)gain
(C)Life's just one (G)long fight he can not win (D)
Until he learns how (C) to bend (G) (D) ---
He's got a (C)short, short fuse, (G) better (C)not set him off (G)
When he thinks he's right, (D)he'd swear in front of Je-(C)suss (G)
Let him (C)lie to your face, (G) like he (C)lies to himself (G)
The truth is no (D)one's more afraid (C) than he is (G)
(Chorus)
And (C)he's doing (G)time on a (C)bed made of (G)stone
No (C)rest for the weary, (G) no more wishful think-(D)ing
He (C)can't go (G)home, no starting (C)over a-(G)gain

(Am)Brother give in, (Am/C) brother (Em)give it up

We all (Am) need help, once in a while, wake (C)up, --- you're living in denial ---
(Chorus)
You've (C)done your (G)time on a (C)bed made of (G)stone
But it's not (C) too late (G) to change the way you're think-(D)ing ---
Fall (C)down on your (G)knees, be born again (C) and a-(G)gain
(C)Life's just one (G)long fight you can not win (D)
Until you learn how (C) to bend (G) (D)
Until you learn how (C) to bend (G) (D)
