D
Hear the trucks on the highway, And the tickin' of the clocks
G
There's a ghost of a moon in the afternoon, Bullet holes in the mailbox
D
Bullet holes in the mailbox, Keyholes in my mind
Bb A
Too long in the wasteland, Too long in the wasteland
D
I've fallin' behind
D
She said won't you come see me, When the sun goes down
G
It'll be just like the old days, When I used to let you hang around
D
Well I don't know, I might not speak the language any more
Bb A
Too long in the wasteland, Too long in the wasteland
D
I've closed some doors
D
People in the village, Watch the children play
G
At the sight of a stranger, They call the kids away
D
Just leave that man alone, I hear the mothers say
Bb A
Too long in the wasteland, Too long in the wasteland
D
What's made him that way
