D MajorD D/C# B minorBm  (x5)


🎸 Verse 1:
           D MajorD D/C# B minorBm
Thought I knew my mind
           D MajorD D/C# B minorBm
Like the back of my hand
           D MajorD D/C#
The gold and the rainbow
  B minorBm              C majorC Em7/BEm7/B A augmentedA
But nothing panned out as I planned
       D MajorD    D7D7
They say only milk and honey's
   D MajorD         G+G D/F#D/F# E MajorE
Gonna make your soul satisfied
              G+G
Well I better learn how to swim
      A#A#     C majorC     D MajorD  A augmentedA
'Cause the crossing is chilly and wide

🎸 Verse 2:
       D MajorD      D/C# B minorBm
Twisted guardrails on the highway
           D MajorD D/C# B minorBm
Broken glass on the cement
           D MajorD D/C#
A augmentedA ghost of someone's tragedy
  B minorBm      Bm/ABm/A      C majorC Em7/BEm7/B A augmentedA
How recklessly my time has been spent
          D MajorD     D MajorD
They say that it's never too late
    D MajorD            G+G D/F#D/F# E MajorE
But you don't, you don't get any younger
              G+G     G+G
Well I better learn how to starve the emptiness
  A#A# C majorC  D MajorD   A augmentedA
And feed the hunger

Up on the watershed

Standing at the fork in the road

You can stand there and agonize (Stand there and agonize)
     G+G      E MajorE    A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
'Til your agony's your heaviest load
A augmentedA            D MajorD
You'll never fly as the crow flies

And there's always retrospect

(When you're looking back)
           D MajorD D/C# G+G
To light a clearer path
              D MajorD   D/C#  B minorBm
Every five years or so I look back on my life
   G+G      C majorC Em7/BEm7/B A augmentedA
And I have a good laugh
         D MajorD
You start at the top (Start at the top)
        D7D7
Go full circle round
      D MajorD
Catch a breeze
    G+G D/F#D/F# E MajorE
Take a spill

But ending up where I started again

Makes me wanna stand still
