G C Em
[Verse 1]
G C Em
I was standing on the mountain with the sun on my back
G C Em
And the shadow I was casting made the world seem black
D G C
And if the shadow of one now can block out the sun
G C Em
Then you’d better make sure that you cast the right one
[Verse 2]
G C Em
You can hustle to your left, you can hustle to your right
G C Em
But you gotta put your back into something sometime
D G C
And it can send you down the river maybe tear you apart
G C Em
But the only path is the path with heart
[Chorus]
D G C
So I don’t care what the weather men say
D G C
You’ve got to parry with the weather till the end of your days here
D G C
And if the only path is a path with heart
D G C
Then I lucked into a good head start
Bm D
Good head start
G C Em D
G C Em
[Verse 3]
G C Em
I felt I’d been down every alley, beaten down every door
G C Em
Till I could barely account for what I’d been looking toward
D G C
And then she took a turn into my record store
G C Em
And I knew I wasn’t gonna look anymore
[Chorus]
D G C
So I don’t care what the weather men say
D G C
You’ve got to parry with the weather till the end of your days here
D G C
And if the only path is a path with heart
D G C
Then I lucked into a good head start
Bm D
Good head start
[Bridge]
And it’s all about the context that you put things in
That you put us in, that we put ourselves in
Nothing hurts like a context
That you don’t want to be in
That’s a cage that I never want to see us all in
G C Em D
G C Em
[Chorus 2]
D G C
So I don’t care what the weather men say
D G C
You’ve got to parry with the weather till the end of your days here
D G C
No I don’t care what the weather men do
D G C
Cause I can parry any weather much better with you
D G C
And if the only path is a path with heart
C
The path with heart
[Outro
G C Em
Then I lucked into a good head start
G C Em
Then I lucked into a good head start
G C Em
Then I lucked into a good head start
G C Em
Then I lucked into a good head start
G C Em D
G C Em D
G C Em D
G C Em D G
