F                           Bb
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
F                               C C7
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
          F           F7
I've been living too fast
                Bb
And I've been living too wrong

Verse 1:
                F                         Bb
This big ol' world sure got me running 'round
             F                            C C7
I heard a voice that said, "Just settle down"
                 F             F7
And with the moonlight as my guide
                 Bb
And with this feeling deep inside
        F       C               F
I know now that I am homeward bound
     F                               Bb
As I wander through the pines, the whisperings, they tell
       F                    C        C7
Of the many before me who tried and fell
        F            F7
Seeking fortune and ways
   Bb
To get to glory days
        F      C                F
Looking for a place in this old world

Chorus:
F                           Bb
Cruel, cruel world, must I go on?
F                               C C7
Cruel, cruel world, I'm moving on
          F           F7
I've been living too fast
                Bb
And I've been living too wrong
F               C         F
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone

Verse 2:
         F             Bb
Desert road, desert plains
        F             C C7
I have seen so much pain
       F   F7        Bb
Now I see into the eyes of a girl
     F       C             F
No more, no more, cruel world
      F                 Bb
Dusty trail saw a vapor light
          F                              C    C7
Was it mirage? Don't know but it seemed right
        F              F7
I felt mission I felt trust
       Bb
I knew that then I must
      F       C           F
Go to her, away from this cruel world

          F           F7
I've been living too fast
                Bb
And I've been living too wrong
F               C         F
Cruel, cruel world, I'm gone
