C Am Em
died in the woods youve been cornered by a natural desire
F C
you wanna hop along the with the giddy throng through life
C Em F G
but how you did learn to steer when theyre grinding all you gears

C Am Em F
youve been talking for hours you say time will wash every tower to the sea
C Em F G
and now you got this worry in your heart
F C G
when i guess its only life its only natural
F C G
we all spent a little while going down the rabbit hole
Am C
the things they taught you lining up to haunt you
G F Em
they got your back against the wall
F G
i called on you on the telephone wont you pick up the receiver

C G F C
ive been down of every road that youre walking now
C Em F
it doesnt have to be so dark and lonesome
C G F Em G
takes a while till we can figure this thing out and turn it back around

C Am Em G

C Am Em F
you use to be such a lion before you got into all this crying on my lab
C Em F G
back when you thought i never get this far
F C G
but did you think really i showed an opened door
Am G
but futures calling and im answer
Am C
the wheels in motion but i never drink your portion
G F Em
and i know it breaks your heart
F G
open up your parachute something got to stop the free fall

C G F C
ive been down of every road that youre walking now
C Em F
it doesnt have to be so dark and lonesome
C G F Em G F C
takes a while till we can figure this thing out and turn it back around
