[Intro]
Em C Em C
Em C Em C
[Verse 1]
Em C All my flannels made in Bangladesh Em C All my t shirts in Vietnam Em C There are places that we quietly ignore G D There are places that we go and bomb Em C You know I thought an awful lot about Jesus Em C Even more about Lao Tzu Em C You say that the way of the Tao is to do nothing G D Then what the hell am I supposed to do
[Pre-Chorus]
Am You know the harder you think, the deeper you sink C The tighter you grip, the more that you slip
[Chorus]
G So I'm singing this song about loving C G All the people that you've come to hate C G It's true what they say, I'm gonna diе someday Em Am Why am I holding on to all this weight? G You know I really thought that thеre'd be power C G In thinking half of y'all was just born fools C G Thought I was gathering oats for my horses Em Am Em C Em C I was getting by whipping my mules
[Verse 2]
Em C There's a book I read I don't remember Em C There's a place I've been I've never seen Em C There's a note that I wrote that went up in smoke G D There's some songs I don't ever sing Em C You know the stars in the sky were burning Em C Most are burning unbeknownst to me Em C I wish I would've paid more attention G D To the bigger things I didn't see
[Pre-Chorus]
Am You know the harder you think, the deeper you sink C The tighter you grip, the more that you slip
[Chorus]
G So I'm singing this song about loving C G All the people that you've come to hate C G It's true what they say, I'm gonna diе someday Em Am Why am I holding on to all this weight? G You know I really thought that thеre'd be power C G In thinking half of y'all was just born fools C G Thought I was gathering oats for my horses Em Am Em I was getting by whipping my mules
[Bridge]
D I got some bricks so thick that they don't make sense C G In the walls up in my mind C G But life is pretty short and the road's got forks Em Am So I take 'em down while I got time
[Pre-Chorus]
Am You know the harder you think, the deeper you sink C The tighter you grip, the further you slip
[Out-Chorus]
G So I'm singing this song about loving C G All the people that you've come to hate C G It's true what they say, I'm gonna diе someday Em Am Why am I holding on to all this weight? G You know I really thought that thеre'd be power C G In thinking half of y'all was just born fools C G Thought I was gathering oats for my horses Em Am G I was getting by whipping my mules
