[Intro]

E minorEm     G+G     C majorC
With progress comes problems

E minorEm     G+G   C majorC
With wisdom comes age

E minorEm      G+G   C majorC
With lessons come learning

E minorEm     G+G   C majorC
And pleasure comes with pain

E MajorE     G+G   C majorC
You can only have the sunshine

(Strum the next three chords only 1 time. hold guitar silence for the next line.)

E minorEm C/GC/G C majorC

after the rain

E minorEm Em E minorEm Em 2x

[Verse]

E minorEm     C/GC/G
I took a walk
  C majorC
It got me thinking

E minorEm    C/GC/G
Left foot, right foot

C majorC    A minorAm
Smiling, blinking

E minorEm     C/GC/G
Breathe out, breathe in

C majorC
Somehow linking

E minorEm    C/GC/G          C majorC    A minorAm
My soul to my mind and my heart to my mouth

E minorEm    C/GC/G          C majorC    A minorAm
Lost and the found and the north to the south

G+G           D MajorD
And the corners to the circle in my mind


[Chorus]

G+G        D MajorD           A minorAm
We may find that the gate has been locked

G+G   D MajorD                A minorAm
When we come back down to what we really are

G+G     D MajorD         A minorAm
Retrace the footprints off the path that is lost

G+G    D MajorD        G+G       A minorAm
It's like trying to find a needle in the dark


[Verse]

E minorEm   C/GC/G
My hands they are empty

C majorC        A minorAm
But they are clean

E minorEm   C/GC/G
I'm poor but I'm healthy

C majorC        A minorAm
I'm halfway between

C majorC            G+G  C majorC
The gutter and the skyline

A minorAm       G+G    D MajorD
So I took a walk to the land's end

A minorAm       G+G          D MajorD
Thinking about an ex-girlfriend that I had

D MajorD              A minorAm
And the pages that I've turned

G+G
And it seems to me

D MajorD
That we all love the chase

A minorAm          G+G
But once we're caught we feel encased

D MajorD
Behind bars of love and trust

A minorAm           G+G
Uprooted by drunken lust

G+G     D MajorD
By people, people just like us

A minorAm   G+G        D MajorD
People, people just like us

And now...


[Chorus]

G+G      D MajorD    A minorAm
You may find that the gate has been locked

G+G    D MajorD                 A minorAm
When we come back down to what we really are

G+G      D MajorD         A minorAm
Retrace the footprints off the path that's been lost

G+G    D MajorD        G+G       A minorAm
It's like trying to find a needle in the dark


[Verse]

E minorEm     C/GC/G     C majorC
So I took a walk to the station

A minorAm
Lost in my imagination

    E minorEm     C/GC/G      C majorC
Having private conversations with myself

  E minorEm    C/GC/G
And I'm just stumbling around

  C majorC
And I wait for the sound

G+G               D MajorD
Of this crumbling town to come tumbling down

C majorC       G+G
People say I'm just bummin' around

  D MajorD              A minorAm
But I've had both my ears to the ground


[Outro]

A minorAm C majorC C/GC/G E minorEm
A minorAm C majorC C/GC/G E minorEm

End by strumming the E minorEm 1 time down.

I like to hammer my chords on for that extra sound. It's totally up to you.
