[Intro]
|G | G6sus4 - G | C - G | Dsus2 x2
[Verse]
G G6sus4 G
I’m through with all this practicing I’m done with this rehearsing
C G Dsus2
There’s so much I want to leave behind
G G6sus4 G
Some will turn to dust, some will go to rust
C G Dsus2
And I guess some things will be just fine
[Instrumental]
|G | G6sus4 - G | C - G | Dsus2
G G6sus4 G
I took my phone I skipped it like a stone
C G Dsus2
Across the river that runs past your house
G G6sus4 G
I guess some things you can’t look up on that little screen
C G Dsus2
Something’s you got to figure out for yourself
[Chorus]
Am C
If you come with me all your sorrows will be
G Dsus2
As far away as they were when you were young
Am C
And if you cross this sea all the salt you will need
G C
Will be in the palm of your hand
G
And all the things that you thought that you needed
C G
Will be right back where you left them when you get home
[Instrumental]
|G | G6sus4 - G | C - G | Dsus2 x2
[Verse]
G G6sus4 G
They’ll be sunrise in the hills, wild horses in the fields
C G Dsus2
All the blackberries will be washed off with the rain
G G6sus4 G
I don’t mean to over sell it, all the highs and lows will tell it
C G Dsus2
But you must admit it’s time for a change
[Chorus]
Am C
If you come with me all your sorrows will be
G Dsus2
As far away as they were when you were young
Am C
And if you cross this sea all the salt you will need
G C
Will be in the palm of your hand
G
And all the things that you thought that you needed
C G
Will be right back where you left them when you get home
[Instrumental]
|G | G6sus4 - G | C - G | Dsus2 x2
[Bridge]
Am C
When they told me I would fail, I did not believe them
G C
My disbelief has been my greatest gift
Am C
When you’re born a pinky with no road before you
G C
Then your choices are infinite
G C
Yes and you’ll be fine as long as you don’t believe the myth
G C
That a rolling stone gathers no moss, we gather everything
Am Em
Don’t ask me to explain I do not know
Am C D
I was not born to walk away but I was born to know when to let go
[Verse]
G G6sus4 G
I never asked for their forgiveness, I never needed their acceptance
C G Dsus2
Their judgment is their’s and their’s alone
G G6sus4 G
I just hope that they have fun, doing all that they are doing
C G Dsus2
I won’t be around to see how it goes
[Chorus]
Am C
If you come with me all your sorrows will be
G Dsus2
As far away as they were when you were young
Am C
And if you cross this sea all the salt you will need
G C
Will be in the palm of your hand
G
And all the things that you thought that you needed
C
Will be right back where you left them
G C
If you ever choose to, if you ever choose to
G C
If you ever choose to, if you ever choose to come back home
