( note : there’s a lot of palm muting going on in this song , mainly when the C chord
is played in the first 2 verses .
just have a listen to the song to get it , though it sounds fine without it ) .

intro :
C * palm mute * C F ( x5 ) C * palm mute * F C * palm mute * F C

C
i believe nowhere is a better place to be
Am
than not knowing where you’re going now
C
i said education is a better state of mind
Am
but i’d trade all my books to find a home
C
if i made bets on a better time
Am
i’d lose my money every single dime
C
i believe moss on a rolling stone
Am
is better than the rust that’s growing on my house

Am G F
’cause it eats at you sometimes

chorus :
F C
the more you struggle
G
more you fight it
Am F
more it clings to you at night
C
the more you wonder
G
more you dream
Am F
the more you pray it starts to die
C
and it does
G Am F
though it kicks you in the side
C
yes it does
G Am F C G
though it takes a little time

C F ( x5 ) C * palm mute * F C * palm mute * F C

C
i believe heaven is a pretty place to stay
Am
but not knowing scares me half to death
C
i believe god is a bigger man than me
Am
but sometimes i think that i can fight him
C
we kicked the devil on a friday night
Am
just about lost when he came in close and tight
C
took him with a punch to his gritty chin
Am
asked him to please not come back here again

Am G F
but he eats at me sometimes

chorus :
F C
the more you struggle
G Am F
more you fight it , more he clings to you at night
C G
the more you wonder , more you dream
Am F
the more you pray he starts to die
C G Am F
and it does , though he kicks you in the side
C G Am F C G
yes it does , though it takes a little time

C F ( x5 )

C
i believe home is a place that i will get someday
Am
if someone just will hold me
C
i believe hope is a thing that i will find some time
Am
if someone just will show me
C
i believe love is given , going , gone
Am
come back to kiss me on the forehead
C
i believe moss on a rolling stone
Am
is better than the rust that’s growing on my home

Am G F
’cause it eats at me sometimes

chorus :
F C G
the more i struggle , more i fight it
Am F C
more it clings to me at night , the more i wonder
G Am F
more i dream , the more i pray it starts to die
C
and it does
G Am F
though it kicks you in the side
C
yes it does
G Am F C G
though it takes a little time

C F ( x3 )

end on C
