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.

Hi there. There's already a tab for the lead stuff, but it helps to know the chords of
song too. Like many Carbon Leaf songs, this one has a fairly simple progression. Just
to the CD, play along, and you'll be jamming. Enjoy!

Carbon Leaf – On Any Given Day
Verse 1:
D G D
I woke up, broke free, drove a long time, it didn't purge you from my mind
D G D
Hang up the halo, maybe you're right… Chalk it up to a starry night
D G D
To be set free, to live and learn… Did we pass or fail the term?
D G D
You wrote a note with chalk on my door, a message I'd known long before:
D G D
On any given day, you'll find me gone
D G D
On any given day, you'll find me gone
Verse 2:
Give me your reason, give me your rhyme so I can tempo me to your time
So I can scratch your surface and be a deeper part of the mystery
To be undone, to be alone, to live life in monotone
I reach the beach and try to ignore the warning I'd known long before
On any given day, you’ll find me gone
On any given day, you’ll find me gone
Chorus:
F#m G D F#m G
A
I've been down to the sea… I've been down to the sea
F#m G D F#m
A
And so all of the lovers will say, “Forever star-crossed will we stay”
D A D A E
Still I can't help feeling cast away on any given day
D A D A
D
Still I can't help feeling you'll run away on any given day
Verse 3:
I window shop for you in my mind: a flannel shirt at the five and dime
A leather coat cut big city style, boots from plastic crocodile
A pine cone dipped in glitter glue, a penny 1942
A necklace with a cheap green stone, barefeet, cold sand, chilled to the bone
On any given day you’ll find me gone
On any given day you’ll find me gone
Chorus
Bridge:
Bm D A G
My eye on you, my eye on you
Bm D G
My eye on you always…
Chorus (2nd half only)
I lift my hands up, smell to reveal your perfume on the steering wheel
You're next to me asleep and I smile, I think I'll drive on for awhile
On any given day you’ll find me gone…
