Steam Powered Giraffe – Hot On The Trail (Guitar Acoustic)

Am
Well, you don’t like that way that I am (is not the way)

F
Way that you want and the way you understand (but I can’t)

C
Can’t help being the way that I am (it’s just the way)

G
Way that it is and what I know, so sorry about

Am
All of these things that I be and I know (it's all me)

F
And not you but this ain't how I wish (it to be)

C
For you and your way and I know (it’s all me)

G
Just know that I know, I know it’s all on me

F                             G                    Am
All the little pieces make up so much sense in the distance, a-whoa-ho-ho-ho

F                 G              Am
Fragmented to the point of is it possible?

F          G          C         F
Hot on the trail of a real fine life

F          G          C            F
This could be what it means to be alive

F            G           C               F
Can’t be too sure but it feels the right way

F        G               C
Love is infinite like sun rays

  F           G          C
I know what I need to be me

      F          G           C
And I know being me makes it hard to see

F             G              C
Standing on a precipice isn’t new

     F           G              C
Those demons sometimes get me seeing blue

F                    G
All this, call this, what you want but it

C              F
Makes me feel alive

F                     G
Stowed it, showed it, now I know it

C              F
Can’t be in my mind

F                        G
It was foreign, pouring, I’ve been storing

C               F
This for a long while

F                        G
I consumed, felt doomed, sung a new tune

C             F
Eventually in time

Am
But you don’t like that way that I feel (is the way)

F
Way that makes you feel worse all of the time (and I know)

C
Know that it’s not okay for you (and it’s not)

G
Not for me and is for you, so sorry about

Am
All of these things that you didn’t sign up for (and I don’t)

F
Don’t wish the pain on you, it’s so sore (but I’ve been)

C
Honest to fault (but it doesn’t help)

G
I know that hurts and it hurts and it keeps on hurting

Am
Every single time we try and try to

F
make things right for you and I

C
We just kept digging, digging it deep

E
Below our feet till we started to sink

Am
And I didn’t know what, what to do

F
I told myself the truth, the truth

C
And I could understand and you could understand

E7
But how could we stand, when there was nowhere to stand?

Am
And all the little things that get under our skin

       F
Didn’t make us better in that heavy weather

  C
I hope that it’s better but never upsetter

   E7
We took our hands, made some vague plan

F                             G                    Am
All the little pieces make up so much sense in the distance, a-whoa-ho-ho-ho

F                 G                Am
Fragmented to the point of is it possible?

F          G          C         F
Hot on the trail of a real fine life

F          G          C            F
This could be what it means to be alive

F            G           C               F
Can’t be too sure but it feels the right way

F        G               C
Love is infinite like sun rays

  F           G          C
I know what I need to be me

      F          G           C
And I know being me makes it hard to see

    F               G           C
The distance hasn’t always been clear

    F                G              C      E
But finally with our love it could appear

    F
And you don’t like what it is

    G
And you don’t know what it is

    F
And I can’t sum it up easily

    G
But I know what it is that I plainly see

      Am
Yeah, who could have liked what it was?

F
It caused such a fuss

C
My heart placed in your hand

G
Then we gave love a chance and
