[Db] [Eb] [Bbm]
[Db]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Gb] I guess [Db] I'm blessed, [Bbm] Lord knows I've got a lot,
[Ab] But I've got no time, and I've got no [Gb] clue, And I wanna strike now while the iron's [Db] hot,
I've got questions,
[Bbm] but I don't think an answer's coming,
[Ab] Every road that I seem to [Fm] take, [Gb] takes me further from a summit,
[Db] Because I'm deaf and I'm blind,
[Bbm] but I venture on while I wait,
[Ab] After all the only shots you're guaranteed to miss,
[Gb] Are the ones that you never take, So I'll keep burning
[Db] this candle,
[Bbm] From every possible, [Fm] every possible [Ab] way,
[Gb] Cause I don't wanna smell, [Bb]
blue roses for the first time,
[F]
Down, [Gb] down, [Ab]
down, at the [Db] bottom of my grave,
[Bbm]
[Db]
[Ab]
[Gb]
[Db] Crystal ball, I don't got one,
[Bbm] I don't know what the future holds,
[Ab] But the mystery means more to [Gb] me, than the final lines in an average [Db] story,
Maybe the footprints I make will stay, [Bbm] or maybe the tides will wash them away,
[Ab] Maybe I'll be a merchant of the [Gb] world, and the melody that I write will be my [Db] trade,
Or maybe I'll have a family, [Bbm]
two little ones who love me so,
[Ab] Spend my final days in a rocking [Db] chair, [Gb] going back and forth while I watch the grass grow,
So I'll [Db] keep burning [Bbm] this candle, [Fm] from every [Ab] possible way,
[Gb] Cause I don't wanna smell, [Bbm] blue roses for the first time,
[Fm] Down, [Gb] [Ab] down, down, at the bottom of [Db] my grave,
[Bbm]
[Db] [Ab]
[Eb] [Gb]
[Ab] [C] [Db] [Ebm]
