[Verse 1]
Em G
Well I was stumbling on stones
C/G
When I came across your bones
D7 G
And my reflection in the creek
Em G
You know you gave me quite a scare
C/G
How long have you been there?
D7 G
You’re a regular antique
[Verse 2]
C/G D7 G
If you don’t mind I’d like to know
C/G D7 G
Do you rest up high or down below?
C/G D7 G
When the stream overflows
Em
Where will you go?
D7
Where will you go?
[Verse 1]
Em G
And I was plucking on my strings
C/G
When I heard the royal kings
D7 G
And they were all fighting about the land
Em
What’s yours was yours
G
But now is mine man
C/G
Can’t you read the sign
D7 G
Take your flag from out my sand
[Verse 2]
C/G D7 G
So pardon me your royalty
C/G D7 G
I’m just a blind man and you can’t see
C/G D7 G
That this just my favorite tree
Em
So let me be
D7
Please let me be
[Chorus]
G
Because I said life
C/G G
Is not a problem to be solved
C/G G
It is a gift to be enjoyed
Em D7
But all the curses I avoid
G
They wander back
Em D7
And the more fences I put up
G
I feel trapped
C/G Cmaj9/B Am
You know I give and I give and I give
C/G Cmaj9/B Am
You know I give and I give and I give
D7 G
And I get nothing back
[Instrumental]
Em G C/G D G Em G C/G D G
[Verse 1]
Em G
And we were both eating mighty fine
C/G
At a restaurant so devine
D7 G
That my taste buds couldn’t bear
Em G
They brought me out some fancy wine
There was flavored water
C/G
It was lemon lime
D7 G
With some shiny silverware
[Verse 2]
C/G D7 G
In my mind we dine and ditch
C/G D7 G
Leave the cooks all the tips
C/G D7 G Em
I must have lied when I told you I was rich
D7
I could only wish
[Verse 1]
Em G
You were clutching to my hand
C/G
Through the restaurant as we ran
D7 G
For shelter from the swarm
Em G
With my unfolding master plan
C/G
You know I felt just like Peter Pan
D7 G
You got the tights, I got the sword
[Verse 2]
C/G D7 G
And I don’t mind if you recite
C/G D7 G
Shakespeare all damn night
C/G D7 G Em
And when we argue about who is wrong or right
D7
You’re usually right
[Chorus]
G
Because I said life
C/G G
Is not a problem to be solved
C/G G
It’s a gift to be enjoyed
Em D7
But all the curses I avoid
G
They wander back
Em D7
And the more fences I put up
G

C/G Cmaj9/B Am
You know I give and I give and I give
C/G Cmaj9/B Am
You know I give and I give and I give
