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.

[Intro]
D Bm A D
[Verse]
Bm A D
Not been here since I was a boy
Bm A D
The sky unwrapped, the world my toy
Bm A D
A movie reel a million miles long
Bm A
On and on...
[Chorus]
G A Bm
Scene after scene passes by my life
G F#m A
The window's a wound. The road is a knife
G A Bm
The irony, ask me, 'where have you been?'
G
I don't know, I don't know
F#m A D
Because I don't know where to begin
[Instrumental]
D Bm A D
[Verse]
Bm A D
Too much to do, too much to see.
Bm A D
Pictures to take, people to meet.
Bm A D
When there's so much space in between
Bm A
It overwhelms me
[Chorus]
G A Bm
Scene after scene passes by my life
G F#m A
The window's a wound. The road is a knife

I don't know, I don't know
F#m A D
Because I don't know where to begin
[Instrumental]
D Bm A D
[Verse]
Bm A D
Not been here since I was a boy
Bm A D
Now a heart full of fear and a mask of painted joy
Bm A D
So much for these youthful eyes to see
Bm A
So much for peace and tranqulilty
[Chorus]
G A Bm
One Prairie Outpost you are how I feel
G F#m A
Alone in a flat land between the dream and the real
G A Bm
The irony, ask me, 'where have you been?'
G
I don't know, I don't know
F#m A D
Because I don't know where to begin
F#m A D
I don't know where to begin
F#m A D
I don't know where to begin
