Capo 4
Note: Guitar 2, Spanish guitar throughout
(intro - Arpeggios)
(Verse - Arpeggios)
Take me backwards
Turn me around
Cannot find my balance on the ground
This world is to heavy
For a feather falling quickly
And I wrote you a story
But I’m afraid of how it ends
And all my friends are doing well
And I’m still on the mend
(Chorus - Strummed)
I’m going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town
Cause nobody’s going to save
Somebody who won’t change
Try to be brave
(Verse - Arpeggios)
And nothing’s coming easy
And all at once I feel a little queasy
Oh but if your love’s my remedy
Won’t you please come and be with me
It’s not like there’s much better
Nobody’s grass is as green as mine
I can’t say that I’m satisfied
3000 miles from your kiss goodbye
(Chorus - Strummed)
I’m going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town
(Bridge - Strummed)
And everybody’s afraid
Cause chances come from change
And everybody’s afraid
Cause chances come from breaking
Chances are your breaking open
(Chorus - Strummed)
I’m going to lay back down
Hope the wind takes me around
I gotta find some courage in this town
Cause nobody’s going to save
Somebody who won’t change
It’s time to be brave
(outro - Arpeggios)
