History Of My Life chords by Blake Mills

Verse 1:

     F   Am         Bb        Csus                F         Am
Hot pink catamarans, the food-begging call of the pelicans
            Bb               Csus      F              Dm
Skimming garbage and sifting over disappointing gifts from friends
      Bb             Csus
(and) Oh God, couldn't I just change
    F              Bb       G7      Bb
the history of my life sometimes?
    F              Bb       G7      Bb
The history of my life sometimes?

Verse 2:
     F       Am           Bb
I'm growing my hair out
      Csus            F              Am
On my head, and on my face right now
 Bb               Csus
Gonna try, really hard
              F                  Dm
To keep from speaking very loud
    Bb             Csus
Oh God, couldn't I just change
    F              Bb       G7      Bb
The history of my life sometimes?
    F              Bb       G7      Bb
The history of my life sometimes?

Verse 3:
    F         Am                 Bb
Some feel the rains never fell
    Csus                  F             Am
The sky owes the ground a wishing well
    Bb             Csus             F                 Dm
I'm living in a dry spell, throwing ashes into flames
    Bb             Csus
Oh God, couldn't I just change
    F              Bb       G7      Bb
The history of my life sometimes?
    F              Bb       G7      Bb
The history of my life sometimes?

Bridge:
          F                      Bb           F
I've been smiling so hard that I could hardly see
   Bb                  F                        Bb            F
My parents weren't in love, but they were still taking care of me
 Bb                                                         F    Am  Bb Csus
I've taken much more than some people ever see in their lifetime
                F                 Am                 Bb
And maybe I know something that's turning the sea around
    Csus                    F                        Am
In the sun that's sprouting seeds from underground
    Bb          Csus
and someone is coming
   F              Dm
To rely on me somehow

Chorus:
    Bb             Csus
Oh God, couldn't I just change
    F              Bb       G7      Bb
The history of my life, somehow?
    F              Bb       G7      Bb
The history of my life, somehow?
    F              Bb       G7      Bb
The history of my life, somehow?
