[Intro]
G Em x2
[Verse 1]
G Em I could shed my skin and in the blink of an eye, I could fly, fly, fly G Em Tie my dreams up in a sack and lay my head down on the track and die, die, die C G My life's been so sweet I just can't stand it Bm D Dsus4 I must admit, I've made out like a bandit
[Verse 2]
G Em Last night's conversation with a real good friend of mine, drinkin' wine, wine, wine G Em Said, "Fifty years of livin' and your worst mistake's forgiven, just take time, time, time" C G One man's lust for life brings world reknown Bm D G And the next guy can't get two feet off the ground, he's earthbound
[Chorus 1]
Em (Earthbound) Hear the wind throught the tops of the trees G (Earthbound) Summer sun nearly ninety degrees Em D Dsus4 D Dsus4 (Earthbound) Big ol' moon sinkin' down, think I might stick around G I'm earthbound
[Verse 3]
G Em I knew love once way back when, she had almond eyes and olive skin and long black hair G Em She was Irish Spanish mixbreed, I was southeast Texas hayseed, we were almost there C G Her daddy did not like my kind around Bm D G And true love took the next train out of town, earthbound
[Chorus 2]
Em (Earthbound) Where there's fathers and daughters in pain G (Earthbound) Mama's boy walking home in the rain Em D Dsus4 D Dsus4 (Earthbound) Like a ship run aground think I might stick around G I'm earthbound
[Insrumental]
G Em G Em D* Cadd9
[Verse 4]
G Em With each new day that passes, I'm in need of thicker glasses, but it's all okay G Em Someday I'll be leavin' but I just can't help believin' that it's not today, hey C G Every golden moment I have found Bm D G I've done my best to run right in the ground, earthbound
[Chorus 3]
Em (Earthbound) See the sky big and beautiful blue G (Earthbound) Fallen angels come callin' for you Em D Dsus4 D Dsus4 (Earthbound) Keepin' close to the ground, think I might stick around Em (Earthbound) Tom Waits, Aretha Franklin, Mary Karr G (Earthbound) Walter Kronkite, Seamus Heaney, Ringo Starr Em D Dsus4 D Dsus4 (Earthbound) The Dalai Lama, Charlie Brown make me wanna stick around G I'm earthbound
