Em C Em C
Em C Em C


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
