[Intro]
C G D D X2
C G D
Tell me old man, where have you been?
C G D Em
I've been reading those stories about chasing the wind
C G D
I guess I've come back with one or two
C G D
I've never really quite known what to do
C G D
Tell me old man, what are you looking for?
C G D
Has it been worth all you've given and so much more
C G D
Sometimes the things we seek skew the point
C G D
Sometimes the whole damn world seems out of joint
Em
And it makes me wonder
G
And it makes me want to live
C G
So I'll steal freedom while there's still some
D Em
And take the whole world in
C G D Em
If I could only leave my worries with the birds of the wind
C G
And I know one day there'll be solace
D Em
So I'll just live until then
C G D Em
If I could only leave my worries with the birds of the wind
[Instrumental bridge]
C G D D X2
C G D
Old man I know you've had questions too
C G D Em
The same ones we've been askin' of you
C G D
You just roll on back out of sight
C G D
Stealin' away again, like a child in the night
Em
Still full of wonder
G
And you still want to live
C G
So you steal freedom while there's still some
D Em
And take the whole world in
C G D Em
You've learned to leave your worries with the birds of the wind
C G
And you know one day there'll be solace
D Em
So you'll just live til then
C G D Em
And you learn to leave your worries with the birds of the wind
C G D Em
If I could only leave my worries with the birds of the wind
