Seems like it, right?
What do you think?
You going in there?
I don't want to go in there.
No, you can try.
Ugh, it's wet.
I don't want to.
It's kind of cold in there.
Go left.
Up here.
[B] [D] Go up to
Make a right here.
You make a right here?
Yeah.
[G]
[D]
Left.
Oh, he's holding my leg?
No.
He has to go to the bathroom.
He has to pee.
[A]
[G] [Eb] And
[A] [D]
This is my bathroom.
[A]
[G] Woo!
I'm gonna pee.
Here.
[Cm] [G]
[Gm] [C] [D] [G]
[C] [B] [G] The picture's far too big to look at kid.
Your eyes won't open wide enough.
And you're constantly surrounded
by the [Gm] swirling stream of what is and [C] what was
while we all make our predictions.
But
The truth still [G]
isn't.
But if [D] you want to see the future, go
stare [G] into a cloud.
And keep trying to find your way out
of that maze of memories.
It all sort of looks familiar
until you get up close and then it's different clearly
[C] but each time
you turn a corner you're
you're right back where [D] you [Eb] were.
[Em] [F] [G] And your only hope is [Gm] that forgetting [Gbm] might
[D] make a [G] door appear.
[Gm] [Eb] Or is it your [Em] fear of being buried
[G] that makes you so afraid to speak?
[Db] And I will let on shove [G] opinions
like the [Eb] one that fell that [G] I'm now underneath
[Eb] it was my voice that moved in the first rock.
And I would do it all [Em] again.
[E] [G] So I mean it's [D] cool [G] if you keep quiet
[D] [A]
but
I [D] like [G] singing.
[Cm] So I'll be [Eb] holding my note
[A] stomping and strumming the [Em] fields of [E] that rock.
[G]
And there is [F] nothing I [B] know
[F] except this lifetime's one [D] moment
[Gbm] wishing we'll just leave it.
[G] [Eb]
So [F] you can try and let it darken
[G] but you will never shake the light
and it will greet you every morning
and it will make you more aware
with [Em] its absence at night
when you're wrapped up in your [A] blanket's face.
That comfortable [G] cocoon
[Db]
[G] that [D] I've seen the day of your awakening pour
and it's coming [G]
soon.
So go ahead and lose yourself [Db] in liquor
[G] and you can praise the cloud in mind
but it isn't what you're thinking, no
it's the course of history, your position in line
you're just [C] a piece [E] of the puzzle.
So [C] I think you'd better [Em] find your place
[G]
and don't [D] go blaming your knowledge
on some fruit [G] you ate
cause there's been a great deal of discussion
yes, about the properties of man
animal or angel
you were carved from bone
but your heart is just [C] sand
and the wind is gonna scatter it
and cover everything [G] with love
so if it makes you [D] happy
then keep kneeling, mama
but I'm [G] standing up
because this veil, it has been lifted
yes, my eyes are wet with clarity
I've been a witness to such wonders
I've searched for them all across this country
but [C] I think I'll be returning now
to that town where [G] I was born
[Gm] [G]
and I [D] understand you must keep moving, friend
but I'm headed [G] home
yeah, I'm gonna [D] follow the road
and let the scenery sweeping by [G] easily enter my body
[Gm] [F] and [G] I'll send you [D] all this message in code
underground, over mountains, through forests
and [G] deserts and [Gm] cities
[C]
[G] across [C] electric wire
it's a baited line, yeah
the hooks and deep voids
there's no more time for you to struggle in the water
be too stubborn to die
or you could just let go
and be lifted [D] to the sky
[N] I
[B] basically woke up here
the oldest noise [C] was packed
[B]
[Gbm] Hollywood, taking a table
[B]
well, I took history [F] class
[E] also pretty upstairs
there's a hostel
[C] I mean, [Db] what the heck
standing [A] on my own [E] feet [Bm] so
[Ab] cool
[Bm] I realized it was Saturday and that's why I'm so excited
[Gbm] I [Ab]
[Eb] realized that I like [Ebm] what it is I'm doing
[A] [Eb]
