Em C D
I saw my tear on your cheek
Em C D
The look in your eye that says you're all out of hope
Em C D
All the rain in the sky won't wash them black sheep
Em C D Em C D Em C D
It should be no surprise it's the end of the rope
Em C D
You should be seeing who I am
Em C D
Instead you wanna talk about where I've been
Em C D
Instead you ask for my love to be still
Em C D
You throw it into the box of goodwill
Cadd9 G
It's too bad things have turned out this way
D Cadd9
It's too bad I'm not made of clay
Cadd9 G
Mama, I'm tired of playing this play
D Cadd9
It's too bad I'm not made of clay
You'd think the sky would be all rained out
You'd think that we could forgive by now
The anger in the sound of your voice
The way that I am that you call a choice
It's always darkest before the dawn
So we'll say goodbye and then we'll move on
Here's another bit of truth that is known
Who you love is not the same as what you own
It's too bad things have turned out this way
It's too bad I'm not made of clay
Mama, I'm tired of playing this play
It's too bad I'm not made of clay, made of clay
I called to you from the top of the stairs
I wonder when you stopped being there
You used to know just what to say
I guess things are different today
It's too bad things have turned out this way
It's too bad I'm not made of clay
Mama, I'm tired of playing this play
It's too bad I'm not made of clay
