Settling In - Luke Laird, Lori McKenna, Barry Dean [Intro] G C G C G D [Verse 1]
G                              C               G
By the sun on my skin, you can tell where I've been

          C                G                D
I took a short walk down a hard road and I dug my roots right in

  C             G         F#   Em
I want to do it all, then do it all again

     G                  D                      G
Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in
[Verse 2]
G                                 C                G
By the books on my shelf, you can tell I taught myself

    C            G                D
By doing it the wrong way till I learned to ask for help

    C                G                        F#   Em
Family photos in the hallway of every me I've ever been

     G                   D                     G
Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in
[Chorus]
         C            G              D              G
Like the grass on the path, like the leather on the Bible

         C              G                   D
Like the road where the wheels know where to go

                C                G                     F#      Em
Life's like the raindrops in the river carving out the perfect bend

     G                  D                      G
Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in
[Verse 3]
G                                       C              G
By the pictures I can't show no one and how we got our nicknames

       C                 G               D
And the way we laugh at stories we can't tell

        C           G                      F#        Em
Takes a lifetime of strangers to find some real good friends

     G                   D                     G
Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in
[Chorus]
          C           G              D              G
Like the grass on the path, like the leather on the Bible

         C               G                              D
Like the strings on this guitar tell my fingers where to go

             C                   G                     F#     Em
I've always thought I'd be an unsteady paper airplane on the wind

      G                 D
Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in
[Solo] G C G C G D C G F# Em

(Same as verse chords)
[Verse 4]
G                                  C                 G
I finally see the blessings in the things I might've missed

     C                  G                D
I'm still too young and stubborn to say what the meaning is

   C                 G                         F#     Em
I don't have all the answers but it's starting to make sense

     G                   D                     G
Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in

     G                   D                     G
Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in
