D      C       D         D/C
All my life, I closed my eyes

    D        C       D       A
And stumbled in with wayward mind

  D        C          D        A7  A7/E
A stubborn child, but love did have

     D             C
With one light shining

D   A7      A7/E    D     C      D     D    D/C   D    D/A
Overlooked (echoes)       ah-ah  ahhh

I wish I knew what you had said

D     D/A      D       D/A          D    D/C   D    D/A
I was hardened by what thoughts you meant
[Verse 2] 1:07
D/E* D  D/C       D       C    D    
     My hands are shaking as a mother

D         D/C       D      D/A
Trying to raise her son right

D               C               D          D/A
  Why can’t you see it from the other side?

D            C            D       D/A   D
  We must imagine what it must be like

C      D/A
Oh-Oh  Ohhh

  The southern life

C  Em/C D
Forever frozen?  No, he’s too smart

          C                 D     A    G6
I can’t believe what I have seen

D         C            D       A/E
I wake up to a fucking dream   oh-oh ohh
[Chorus] 2:26
D           C
There is no light

      D           D/C  D/A
There is no dark

      D     D/A
There is no life

   D        D/A
Or sense of being

    D            D/A D     D/C  D/A 
Oh, what it must be  like

D           D/C     D/A   D/C  D/A
Oh, what it must be like

D      D/C      D    D/C  D/A
Such a southern life

Such a southern life
