Walk The Landings

D        A      E      A X 2

  D           A             E            A
I live in the quarters they call it skid row
   D             A            E          A
We all share the kitchen, one room is my home
     D        A             D           A
This uniforms pride is worn out like my own
        D         A          E          A
Still I use it to hide in, 8 hours til' home

[Chorus]
             E                            A
And I think about, how it could have been better.
          E                    A
I can see children, a family togeather.
              D                     A
But now all I know, is an endless tomorrow.
                   E                   D        A
So I reach for the bottle in a room I call home.

  D        A            E        A
I carry my key watching over the yard
D          A        E          A
Some do it easy and some do it hard.
D          A            D         A
Once I was certain, but now I can see.
              D            A            E              A
There's not a whole lot of difference between them and me.

[Chorus]
D             A
Some nights I fear
                    E
I'll be walking the landings
In the life after here. (pause)

[Chorus]
             E                            A
And I think about, how it could have been better.
          E                    A
I can see children, a family togeather.
                D
But now I'm all alone
                    A
and I'm drowning in sorrow
                   E           A
So I reach for the bottle
                     E       D                   A
Yeah I reach for the bo--ttle   in a room I call home
