_ _ _ I wrote this song, Flo, while I was living in Tennessee about eight years ago.
At the time, I was kind of going through a heavily stressful situation of having this
internal struggle going on, and the choice was _ following a path of stability and money
or following a passion and a dream.
At the time, it was really kind of tearing me up on top of other things that were going
on just in everyday life.
_ During this day, I just got this feeling and this urge to go out to the river that was
about half a mile from my place.
So I grabbed my guitar and I went out there and I wrote Flo in about 15 minutes.
It was one of the easiest songs I've ever written and also one of the most meaningful.
I think both in parts due to the environment that I was in, the river being there, and
I came to this thought.
One of the lines that I say in the song is, _ you know, you got to flow like the river.
What I came to the realization there was that I could worry about these issues and fight
them and kind of go up against them all day, but really when I let go of them and just
kind of went with the flow, it all kind of worked itself out eventually. _
It was kind of an epiphany, and in the opening line, I woke up to find the earth was round
one day kind of demonstrates that feeling I had as well.
[Eb] _ [Ab] [Em] But yeah, this is Flo.

_ _ [G] _ [Am] _ _ _ [Em] Well, I woke up [G] to find the earth was round [Am] one day, [Em] and all around the [G] world now things
[Am] began to change.
Never [Em] had I ever, ever [G] seen [Am] the sun, oh, [Em] rise that way [G] above the day to [Am] greet the dawn.
_ [Bm] And the earth [C] shook [Em] beneath my feet, _ [Bm] and the storm [Em] raged through the night, and [Bm] I lost
[Em] all that I had won.
Oh, but [Am] I flow like the river.

it?
Well, now [Em] what you're gonna do [G] when your ship [Am] starts to sink, caught in a [Em] monster sea,
[G] you won't be [Am] able to think, [Bm] and it's [Em] there you'll learn what I know, _ [Bm] that [Em] all of this
world will fade.
You gotta [Gb]
[Bm] learn [Em] to let it all _ go, [Am] and flow like the [Em] river.
