Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)
Verse 1:
C C
This is where it starts, right here, square one
F
Head for the door back to the west coast
F
Setting sail on concrete oceans
C
Feel the hills roll on engulfed in flames
F
Where red woods tower over me
F
Where there's so much more than we think there is to see
Chorus 1:
C G F G
I'll lead a life of firsts on foreign soils
F G Dm
Somewhere that I can find the bones of a better man inside
C
(Somewhere that I can-)
F C Dm C F
Holding in tightly to the misery will never get me far
C Dm C
It will never get you far
Verse 2:
C
As I exhale
C
this breath of fresh air
F
I feel the distance tear the space between us
C
Cause we're always climbing toward the sun
F
But the cabin pressure gets to me
F
And there's so much more than we think there is to see
Refrain:
F C
On to barren land and wasted weeks,
F
but we won't keep searching
C
We're fucking helpless
F C
And I feel the staleness in the autumn air,
G F
it's not like usual
C Dm
It's fucking hopeless
Chorus 2:
C G F G
I'll lead a life of firsts on foreign soils
F G Dm
Somewhere that I can find the bones of a better man inside
C
(Somewhere that I can-)
F C Dm C F
Holding in tightly to the misery will never get me far
C Dm C
It will never get you far

I'll leave this all behind for you when I'm gone

You grew from a seed

Forever strong as a pine tree
Always an evergreen

You grew from a seed

Forever strong as a pine tree
Always an evergreen
