[Verse 1]
Am Em Bm
Once there was a man of many means
Gm Dm Am
Inherited from someone else's dreams
Am Em Bm
He said one day I'll plough and sow the seeds
Gm Dm Am
If only I could learn to tame the weeds
[Chorus]
C#m A
And every time I get to the end
E
I'll turn round and start again, 'Cause they're coming back
C#m A
Can't take it anymore
E
Can't take it anymore, Tell me what is this for, 'cause
C#m A
I just can't wait any longer
E
My heart won't beat any stronger

[Verse 2]
Am Em Bm
So off he went and bought some new machines
Gm Dm Am
And chemicals to subjugate the weeds
Am Em Bm
But now the roots had multiplied and grown
Gm Dm Am
And crowded out the seeds that he had sown
