Am    G       F   C
Just like a prisoner
G   G#dim7     Am          G
He don't know right from wrong
Just like a baby
He sings a pleading song

Chorus:
             F                     C F C
And that's why so many tears must fall
              F                    Am G F
Yes, that's why so many tears must fall

Just like a sailor
He steers away from home
He feels a tidal wave in his heart
But he is not alone

Chorus;
And that's why so many tears must fall
Yes, that's why so many tears must fall

I am like that prisoner
I don't know right from wrong
Just like that baby
I sing a pleading song

Chorus:
And that's why you'll never know how I feel
Yes, that's why you'll never know how I feel
