Email: ian.zampbell@gmail.com Tuning: Standard Instrumental Intro: D-A-F#m-F#m D A F#m If you think you're throwing words to the wise, the first thing that you ever felt, inside and under your belt To a place that smothers children Cuts the space between two lives D A F#m I've seen you working, wasted and gray You've got a delicate heart, and listen, you would be smart To keep yourself in a world of mothers, sisters, daughters and wives F#m A Listen, I've come to rock this boat D C# The take and giving means no room for the living F#m A And some of you think it loves and lovers D C# Death in one corner leaves no space in the other D A I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another E Bm We only ever wanted to feel real F#m A Two years of tension only teaches you to fight E F#m We only ever wanted to try Instrumental Segway: D-A-F#m-F#m (x2) N.C. And if you see this world as ugly and thin F#m Then you'll be so cruel to the touch, you'll lose the body you're in D A F#m To a land of angry soil, that swallows boys and coughs up men I've seen you taste the salt of your tears You always stop when you start, and listen, you would be smart To keep yourself in a world of mothers, sisters, daughters and wives F#m A Listen, I've come to rock this boat D C# The take and giving means no room for the living F#m A And some of you think it loves and lovers D C# Death in one corner leaves no space in the other D A I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another E Bm We only ever wanted to feel real F#m A Two years of tension only teaches you to fight E F#m We only ever wanted to try Instrumental Segway: D-A-F#m-F#m (x2) D C# Bm I'll raise a glass to bein' no one else's fool D A C# Raise some question to the rule who says you'd have to lose a love to find one Ebm D Take the things you don't love spread them out in the sun C# Two futures melt into one Bm C# Who says you have to lose a love to find one D A I know that when it's over we'll be holding one another E Bm We only ever wanted to feel real F#m A Two years of tension only teaches you to fight E F#m We only ever wanted to try F#m A I'm around, I'm around, I'm ok, I'm ok D C# I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm the same, I'm the same F#m A We are, yeah, we are, we are D C# We are just looking for something F#m A With our hands, and our fists, muscles, skin, thumb, and bone D C# We never grew up, we were cut from the stone F#m A That holds you, body and soul D C# We are all just looking for something End on F#m
