A
1. I'm beginning to hear voices and there's no one around
   Well, I'm all used up and the fields have turned brown
   I went to church on Sunday and she passed by
   My love for her is taking such a long time to die
       B/Es        D7                    A
   I'm waist deep, waist deep in the mist
               B/Es             D7            A
   It's almost like, almost like I don't exist
       D                        C              A
   I'm twenty miles out of town, in cold irons bound

2. The walls of pride are high and wide
   Can't see over to the other side
   It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay
   It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away
   One look at you and I'm out of control
   Like the universe has swallowed me whole
   I'm twenty miles out of town in Cold irons bound

3. There's too many people, too many to recall
   I thought some of 'm were friends of mine; I was wrong about 'm all
   Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud
   Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
   I found my world, found my world in you
   But your love just hasn't proved true
   I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
   Twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound

4. Oh, the winds in Chicago have torn me to shreds
   Reality has always had too many heads
   Some things last longer than you think they will
   There are some kind of things you can never kill
   It's you and you only, I'm been thinking about
   But you can't see in and it's hard lookin' out
   I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound

5. Well the fats in the fire and the water's in the tank
   The whiskey's in the jar and the money's in the bank
   I tried to love and protect you because I cared
   I'm gonna remember forever the joy that we shared
   Looking at you and I'm on my bended knee
   You have no idea what you do to me
   I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
   Twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
