A E
hindsight’s giving me
D A A4 A
too much memory
D A A4 A
there’s too much never seen
E
but it’s always there
D
cuz it’s everywhere

taking my own advice
worked out for me nice
but now i come to find
the tricks we play
with human brains

E D *
they don’t want to think about the other side
is that grass just greener cause it’s fake
F#m
cuz that’s all that we’ve been told
E
since we were five years old
D D * *
is that all we’ll ever know

D * D * *

hindsight brings me down
it keeps me on the ground
and though i’m never proud
i wouldn’t dare
if you weren’t there

the thing with gettin’ up
feels like giving up
feels like not enough
you eat a crumb
and waste a loaf

they don’t want to talk about the other side
where the grass was greener than they said
cuz this doesn’t bring to mind
what i’d expect to find
they must be color blind

instrumental like verse

A E D
what about canada
A
what about canada
E
this paradise
D
of pines and ice

morning comes in freight ships while you’re sleeping
bad into ideas was no surprise
we’ll wait till the wild has rights
then never lock doors at night
and kiss all those wars goodbye
