(C) I spent most of my life outside (G) in the driving rain
(Bm5+) I was only trying to get (Em9) by with some of (Em) life's ameni(Am7)ties
Well (G) nothing's free
(G/B) I got more than I (Am7) bargained for, (G/B) now it's (B7) plain to (C) see
I (G/B) can't depend on (Am) love to defend (G) me

It took most of my time to do what never was done
I was on the outside of an inside kind of love that now is gone
Come right or wrong
It was laid to rest that way, I hate to be unkind
Pretending is for strangers who don't know you

I spent most of my life outside in the driving rain
I was in some one-horse town just waiting for a plane to take me back
Now where's that at
I paid the price, well ain't that nice, knowing I'm so free
I can't depend on love to defend me
I got more than I bargained for, now it's plain to see
I can't depend on love to defend me
