Lyrics/chords to "The Debt"

The Debt

(Ian Hunter)

F#m A D A
There goes happiness down that street
A E
pick me up cut me down again just
F#m D D/C#
When I was on my feet

Bm E7
I get stoned every day
A7 D
my best friend he up and went away
G D A A
It's a debt and I gotta face it alone

F#m A D A
Been a long long time now been a long time high
A E
making up for promises that went wrong
F#m D D/C# 
I'm in the sky 

Bm
There ain't a clue
E7 A7 D
not a trace tho' I see her all over my place
G D A A
It's a debt and I gotta face it alone

Bm E7 F#m A A
And endlessly my troubled mind-won't let go and leave the past behind
Bm E7 F#m F#m
It's a drag or so it seems I must live my life in dreams
A A
I must laugh while the other man wins
G D A A
Its alone and I gotta face it alone
F#m A D A
I guess its the season that brings a man down
A E
oh my fingers are stuck on my toes and my
F#m D D/C#
feet are off the ground
Bm E7 A7 D
Yesterday the world went away I can't seem to find another day
G D A A
It's a debt and I gotta face it alone
