Biography:
Some bands insist on dragging listeners into their world, but Richmond, VA's Carbon Leaf works towards a more admirable and considerably more difficult goal – that of letting perfect strangers feel that the band understands their world. Since 1992, the band has succeeded in doing just that -- and on its third Vanguard release, Nothing Rhymes With Woman, has created a soundtrack suitable for multiple worlds.
“For me, this is an album that’s focused on growth and maturity, but it’s not deadly serious,” says front man Barry Privett.

This song has an intro, but here's if you want to start from the beginning of the lyrics.
Verse 1
G C
Holiday quiet on these streets except for some stubborn leaves
Am G
That didn't fall with the fall and now they clatter in vain
C
Holiday sky Midnight clear Wind is high hard to steer
Am G
Old muffler rumbles like an old fighter plane
Ab C
In search of some rest In search of a break
Am G
From a life of tests where something's always at stake
Where something's always so far
C
What about my broken car
Am
What about my life so far
D
What about my dream
What about
Chorus
C G
What about everything
Em D
What about aeroplanes
C G Em
And what about ships that drank the sea
What about
C G
What about the moon and stars
Em D
What about soldier battle scars
C G D
And all the anger that they eat
Em D G
I am not in need
Verse 2
G
Get away and come with me
C
Come away with me and we'll see
Am G
If I was right on that night that a future was made
C
Before time takes each year like a knife cuts it clear
Am G
It's school then work and then life that just sharpens the blade
C
I think about time for fun I think about time for play
Am G
Then I think about being done with no resume
With no one left to blame
C
What about fortune and fame
D
What about your love to obtain
What about the ring
What about
Chorus
C G
What about everything
Em D
What about aeroplanes
C G Em
And what about ships that drank the sea
What about
C G
What about the moon and stars
Em D
What about soldier battle scars
C G D
And all the anger that they eat
Em D G
I am not in need
There's a bridge/solo here, but I'm going to skip it.
Verse 3
G C
Holiday quiet on these streets except for some reason me
Am G
The hometown harbor lights bright the sailboats clatter in vain
C
Holiday sky Midnight clear Wind is high on this pier
D
I find it hard to complain when compared with what about

Well I am not I am not I am not in need
