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.

Capo 2
G D
I opened up the music box
Em
I wish you would have changed the locks
To keep me from replaying
D
All the feelings I've been saving
G D
I did not keep them locked up inside
Em
I did not take my steps in stride
D
Thought you were bluffing, trampled on you
Went from friends to nothing
C G D
Radio turns to gold
C G D
And paves the way to find my home
C G D
When I'm alone
C G D
When I'm alone
G Em F#m G
G D
Overeager and underway
Em
I risked it all, I had to say
D
What opened me up for the beating
G
But the heart is for bleeding
D
With scraps of songs I paste along
Em
The seams of my clumsy tongue
D
In hopes of creating the golden notes
That might bring you back to me
C G D
Radio turns to gold
C G D
And paves the way to find my home
C G D
When I'm alone
C G D
When I'm alone
G Em F#m C
G D Em D
G
Like phantoms on the highway
D Em
After holiday, gritting their teeth
D
Racing to find a place for their soul
G
Or at least a place... that's less familiar
D
We offer up our heart before
Em
The heart's invited or asked for
D
Oh no, here I go my friend, I'm repeating
G
But the heart is for bleeding...
D
And I've said all I can say
Em
I am retreating, on my way
D
Music box, play my song I'll sing along
C
To that bitterly sweet tone
When I'm alone...
