As recorded by Sam Barber (From the 2024 Album RESTLESS MIND) [Intro] Em G D C Em G D C [Verse 1]
       Em           G             D                   C
Well I often think about my wings and if I'm dead or alive

            Em                       G                 D                            C
Because the world just seems like an empty dream, they say that it gets better with time

      Em                  G           D                         C
Every word I say when I'm not ok just seems to go away with the wind

       Em               G                    D                     C
If you felt my pain and held my weight you'd know I'm too broke to fix
[Pre-Chorus]
     Em                G                    D               C
From screaming loud to yelling soft I ain't wiser I've just grown

      Em                     G             D                         C    Em G D C
And I hate to admit, but the man I am is a man that you do not wanna know
[Chorus]
       Em       D             G          C
Rather be right here then the end of the road

           Em      D             G         C
If I don't make it there you can bet on my ghost

            Em       D               G     C
I cannot forget back then cause it's all I know

        Em                 D    G      C     Em G D C    Em G D C
So I'll stand on the ashes that I call home
[Verse 2]
    Em               G                   D                             C
I'm finding out that time don't heal the things that should've never begun

        Em                   G               D                            C
All the walls I've burnt for no damn earn is something I could never have planned

            Em                G                  D                            C
When you're walking alone for this damn long you know that there's nothing to reach

     Em                   G                  D                     C
Only thing I've made from all this pain is a head staring down at my feet
[Pre-Chorus]
     Em                G                    D               C
From screaming loud to yelling soft I ain't wiser I've just grown

      Em                     G             D                         C    Em G D C
And I hate to admit, but the man I am is a man that you do not wanna know
[Chorus]
       Em       D             G          C
Rather be right here then the end of the road

           Em      D             G         C
If I don't make it there you can bet on my ghost

            Em       D               G     C
I cannot forget back then cause it's all I know

        Em                 D    G      C
So I'll stand on the ashes that I call home

        Em                 D    G      C
So I'll stand on the ashes that I call home
