Tono: E
E
Well I bit on my lip, and I kicked at my toes
E
No, I don't need your lecture cause your lecture won't show
D
A
E
That you told me so I told you so
E
But I would have managed, I would have been fine
E
I'd do it myself and I'd do it just my way,
D
A
E
I'm a big man for thinking just so.
A
E
But somebody told me that your mother was born
A
E
Oh a wandering woman with a spirit so sworn of the riverside
A
B
E
A
And it never surprised me but it meant that my love was immobilized
B
E
A
Well, it meant that my love was immobilized
D
A
E
Cause when it comes, it comes when it does.
E
But you came in the middle and you fell in my hands
E
Oh a, wonderful woman and an average man.
D
A
E
See that makes me the lucky man
E
I won't be deserving, but I won't be denied
E
See, I fell in this position, I will still teach my kids pride
D
A
E
Because failure's a part of it all
D
A
E
And if failure don't hurt then failure don't work at all
A
E
But somebody told me, our nephew was born
A
E
Oh, a beautiful baby, so smart and so sure of his little self
A
B
E
A
And in a wonderful way he was making me feel so small
B
E
A
Was making me feel so small,
B
E
A
Was making me feel so small.
D
A
E
And I don't think I've felt this before.
A
E
A
In all the reasons to come, well they override my body and,
E
A
E
I point to the sun, cause where it's warm is where the wilderness grows
A
And it grows, and it grows 'till it all becomes nothing
A
E
And nothing is left as you know.
A
E
(We walked it for a thousand years, with broken eyes and salted ears
A
E
Complaining 'bout the weather like we ever had a choice.
A
E
Through all the noise and self abuse, you waited for your fill of truth
A
E
Oh I'm terrified I'll achieve nothing at all.)
