By the sun on my skin, you can tell where I've been

By the books on my shelf, you can tell I taught myself

By doing it the wrong way till I learned to ask for help

Chorus:
         C            G              D              G
Like the grass on the path, like the leather on the Bible
         C              G                   D
Like the road where the wheels know where to go

Life's like the raindrops in the river carving out the perfect bend

Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in

Verse 3:
G                                       C              G
By the pictures I can't show no one and how we got our nicknames
       C                 G               D
And the way we laugh at stories we can't tell
        C           G                      F#        Em
Takes a lifetime of strangers to find some real good friends

Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in

Chorus:
          C           G              D              G
Like the grass on the path, like the leather on the Bible
         C               G                              D
Like the strings on this guitar tell my fingers where to go
             C                   G                     F#     Em
I've always thought I'd be an unsteady paper airplane on the wind

I finally see the blessings in the things I might've missed
     C                  G                D
I'm still too young and stubborn to say what the meaning is
   C                 G                         F#     Em
I don't have all the answers but it's starting to make sense
     G                   D                     G
Good Lord don't take me now, I'm just settling in
