[Intro] G G G F F#7 C [Verse 1]
       G
Today I woke from a dream

      G
Self-imposed suffering

     F           F#7        C                  G
I was clawing my way up the red clay mountain

                        G                     F
Blistering sun, my sweat soaking my clothing

           F#7     C               G
Questioned myself, why keep going?

                     G
Over my shoulder were towering trees

     F         F#7     C
Their bustling branches summoning me

    G              G             F
To a parallel trail not so steep

         F#7     C
Offering shelter, offering ease
G G F F#7 C [Chorus]
C D7 Am7  Am
Red       clay

C                             Am
You don’t have to do this the hard way
G G F F#7 C [Verse 2]
    G                      G                  F
So I take a deep breath and turn to be brave

            F#7      C              G
Harvest the fruits of being afraid

                      G                 F
Take a deep breath and turn to be brave

            F#7      C              G
Harvest the fruits of being afraid

                      G                  F
Take a deep breath and turn to be brave

            F#7      C
Harvest the fruits of being afraid
[Chorus]
C D7 Am7  Am
Red       clay

C                             Am
You don’t have to do this the hard way

C D7 Am7  Am
Red       clay

C                            Am
We don’t have to do this the hard way
[Outro] G G F F#7 C x2
