Rehab - Kept on walking

I w^Dmoke up early this morning Went downtown and ^BbI got a cup of coffee Drink it on up then^C I got a little jumpy ^F Then I had a thought th^Cat I can't remember ^Dm

Pick up a nickel old^Bber than I Gave it to a man who^C needed a shot of liquor I could tell by the look in his eye ^A Walking around the bus station I saw ^Dma young girl Couldn't have been older^Bb than 13 Smoking a cigarette ^Cpregnant and barefoot I said "Hello" she said "The world is mean" ^Dm

Taking in the scenery ^Bb Observing everything ^C And what it means to m^Ae Could it be as simple ^{D Dm}As me just being^Bb me Looking for sweet Con^Cformation ^{F A}So I kept on walking

^DmTo the hardware store Asked the manager for an applica^Bbtion And on the way out I threw it^C in the trash cuz Something in my head said jus^Amt be patient ^F I saw a bunch of birds on top o^Dmf the court house Sitting on the edge all ^Bbin a row If I didn't know better I'd s^Cwear they were watching me I think I heard a bird tell another there he goes ^A Then saw a^Dm mannequin in the window The prettiest woman tha^Bbt I've ever seen Wearing a green dress and beauti^Cful string of pearls She wasn^C't interested in me

To a sea^Dmt on a bench on the corner Took a little rest b^Feneath the shady tree ^Bb 'Long came an old lady wit^Fh a walking cane And she sat dow^Cn next to me.
