Chords for John Fullbright on "Songs"

_ _ _ _ [Gb] Every time I try to write a [Abm] song, _ _ [Db] it always seems to start [B] where we left off.
[Gb] _ _ Tonight I'd rather stand up [Abm] straight, look it in the eye and I'll [B] just_ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ _ That last album, I feel like the energy, _ _ [Abm] _ the [Eb] sound of it was a lot of it, [Gb] but it felt really good.
And this record I think is a lot more like _ [Abm] our big epic.
[B] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ Tell me where to [Gb] go when the wind don't know where it ought to blow.
[B] Tell me what's in [Bbm] store for the mind and the [Gb] body wanting more and more.
Different positions, being uncomfortable, [Abm] _
_ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Gb] try to stay there as long as they can,
so they can pull something [Ab] out of it, experience or [Gb] something.
[Abm] That's not a very healthy way to live your life, you know.
That's kind of where that [B] song was coming from, where it's just the frustration of [Gb] going_
What's wrong with being content?
What's wrong with everything being okay?
_ _ [B] Why does there have to be turmoil in order for there to be art?
[Gb] _ Where to go when the wind don't know where it ought to [B] blow.
Tell me what's in store [Gb] for the mind and the body wanting more and more.
I tend to hide _ some things [Abm] in songs.
[F] And the [C] older I get, the more I realize [Dm] it's probably not wise.
If you're going to say something, you might as well say [Gm] _ it.
[Bb] So [C] to me, that's a lot of what this record [F] is.
_ I [C] haven't told [D] myself the truth _ [Am] _ _ [Bb] since the first night you [C] were gone.
_ _ [F] _
[C] I'd like to think I was living [D] easy.
But my goals and my focus isn't about [Bb] accolades or [C] nominations.
It's about writing a song that somebody else is going to connect with.
And they'll come to me and say,
Hey, [Dm] that song you wrote, [C]
[Bb] that's me too.
So we both get something out of [F] it. _ _ _
[C] If you go chasing the sun golden,
_ _ _ [Dm] _
with this record, somebody coming up and us [F] talking about what a song means, _ _
it keeps me [Bb] going.
I think it'll continue to keep me going.
_ [F] And that's what it's about.
_ [A] Just be told that often [Dm] our ways are_
_ _ _ [Bb] The writing, though, that's a [F] little secret.
John Prine said that.
You write a song, and you finished it, and you know it's good,
and then you [C] get to carry it around in your back [F] pocket.
It's a little secret.
Nobody knows about it.
It's one of [C] the best feelings in the whole world.
And [Am] on the other hand, playing a show and [D] doing it well
and coming off stage and everybody [F] else is shaking your hand,
[G] that feels pretty good too.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
