Song

The Wasteland
    
    
Some days I think it's all a dream
The things I've done, the places that I've been  
This life of mine seemed surreal at times
Wasted days and nights in someone else's mind  
   
    
Could it be I'm not for real?
I've slapped my face to check out how I feel
There's hostages to prove it's true
Who lives behind the mask was never proved
Come on Robert Johnson 
Though we're worlds apart 
Eb Eb/D
You and I know what it's like
C#mb5 D
With the devil in our heart
You sold your soul at the crossroads
Fm6/G# G7
Kept a little of mine on hand
I'm wading out this muddy water 
Been stranded in the Wasteland  
Rattling chains all around my bed
Ghosts can laugh but they're already dead
I'm not dying and I'm far from gone
The blues man spent his candle but his pain lives on
(the above line repeats and when you want to end-->)
