Palm Reader Acoustic chords by The Wonder Years

[Intro]

A B C Em F G
A B C Em F G


[Verse 1]

            A    B
I bought flowers from a drifter.
C          Em F G
Cut my hand on a thorn,
        A
Straight across the fate line.
    B  C
I'm no palm reader,
Em           F        G    A  B
But I doubt that's the sign that I was looking for.
   C    Em     F
Rainy night in California.
      G       A
Told me he fought in the war.
      B      C   Em
And I'm so desperate to do the right thing.
    F       G       F
I'm not sure what that even is anymore.

[Pre-Chorus]

            Em        G
He found a bus stop to weather the storm.


[Chorus]

C
I'm gonna stand up straight.
     Em                   F
I'm gonna clear my throat and speak out unafraid.
          A
Mom, I want you to know
       G
I'm letting everything you taught me guide me home.

[Verse 2]

           A    B
Faded light from the projector
C            Em  F G
Spitting summer out on a screen.
      A         B    C
The pool we swam in caved in years ago.
Em          F       G     A
We filled it up with furniture and concrete.
B     C      Em
I saw right from wrong then.
F       G     A
The lines were simple and clean.
      B      C        Em
Now all the people I was taught would be heroes
        F    G      F
Are acting like cowards, killers, and thieves.


[Pre-Chorus]

              Em            G
I'm losing track of who the good guys are supposed to be.


[Chorus]

C
I'm gonna stand up straight.
     Em                   F
I'm gonna clear my throat and speak out unafraid.
          A
Dad, I want you to know
       G
I'm letting everything you taught me guide me home.

[Bridge]

F            G
Coming undone at the seams.
Em          A
Stress fractures and muted dreams.
C  F
Oh, please.
       G
Undone at the seams.
Em          A
Stress fractures and muted dreams.
C  F
Oh, please.
       G
Undone at the seams.
Em          A
Stress fractures and muted dreams.
C
Oh...


[Chorus]

C
I'm gonna stand up straight.
     Em                   F
I'm gonna clear my throat and speak out unafraid.
          A
Mom, I want you to know
       G
I'm letting everything you taught me guide me home.
C
I'm gonna stand up straight.
     Em                   F
I'm gonna clear my throat and speak out unafraid.
          A
Dad, I want you to know
       G                A
