Verse 1:
       Em                     C
All my flannels made in Bangladesh
       Em              C
All my t shirts in Vietnam
          Em                      G
There are places that we quietly ignore
          G                     D
There are places that we go and bomb
           Em                         C
You know I thought an awful lot about Jesus
     Em             C
Even more about Lao Tsu
                 Em                   C
You say that the way of the Tao is to do nothing
              G                     D
Then what the hell am I supposed to do

Pre-Chorus:
             Am
You know the harder you think, the deeper you sink
    C
The tighter you grip, the more that you slip


Chorus:
       G
So I'm singing this song about loving
        C                          G
All the people that you've come to hate
     C                             G
It's true what they say, I'm gonna diе someday
         Em                     Am
Why am I holding on to all this weight?
           G
You know I really thought that thеre'd be power
            C                           G
In thinking half of y'all was just born fools
              C                     G
Thought I was gathering oats for my horses
      Em         Am          Em    C  Em  C
I was getting by whipping my mules


Verse 2:
          Em                       C
There's a book I read I don't remember
          Em                         C
There's a place I've been I've never seen
          Em                          C
There's a note that I wrote that went up in smoke
             G                  D
There's some songs I don't ever sing
             Em                       C
You know the stars in the sky were burning
         Em                     C
Most are burning unbeknownst to me
                  Em          C
I wish I would've paid more attention
       G                      D
To the bigger things I didn't see


Pre-Chorus:
             Am
You know the harder you think, the deeper you sink
    C
The tighter you grip, the more that you slip


Chorus:
       G
So I'm singing this song about loving
        C                          G
All the people that you've come to hate
     C                             G
It's true what they say, I'm gonna diе someday
         Em                     Am
Why am I holding on to all this weight?
           G
You know I really thought that thеre'd be power
            C                           G
In thinking half of y'all was just born fools
              C                     G
Thought I was gathering oats for my horses
      Em         Am          Em
I was getting by whipping my mules


Bridge:
           D
I got some bricks so thick that they don't make sense
       C              G
In the walls up in my mind
    C                            G
But life is pretty short and the road's got forks
     Em                         Am
So I take them down while I got time


Pre-Chorus:
             Am
You know the harder you think, the deeper you sink
    C
The tighter you grip, the further you slip


Out-Chorus:
       G
So I'm singing this song about loving
        C                          G
All the people that you've come to hate
     C                             G
It's true what they say, I'm gonna diе someday
         Em                     Am
Why am I holding on to all this weight?
           G
You know I really thought that thеre'd be power
            C                           G
In thinking half of y'all was just born fools
              C                     G
Thought I was gathering oats for my horses
      Em                     G
I was getting by whipping my mules
