G D
I'm not Robert Frost
B C
if I wrote a poem about the weather
G D
it would start in my car
B C
digging out for an hour
G D
and this town is all just dirt and earth
B C
and a little lie and a bigger hurt
G D
no, I shouldn't have left my house in the first place
B C
I guess, but I always
G D B C
go back to where I'm meant to be
G D B C
I go back to where I'm meant to be
G D
so on a polar high that I
B C
found one night it was cold outside
G D
where your frozen hands are so
B C
much like mine,but they don't compromise

G D
now I'm looking at the ground because I don't want you to leave
B C
I know it's co-dependent but I think it's kind of sweet
G D
out of every person in this city I could ever meet
B C
leaving feels like losing but I'm learning what I need
G D B C
I go back to where I'm meant to be
G D B C
I go back to where I'm meant to be
Em D C G
in the morning
Em D B B
in the morning
C D Em
I want to know when it stopped
B
the eye of the storm
G D B B
everything is not what it was

I want to know when it stopped

the eye of the storm

everything is not what it was and I'm not Robert Frost

G D B C
I'm not Robert Frost, if I wrote a poem about decision it would
G D
start and it would end in the same place
Note: Guitar hits last C before "I go back..." and immediately falls tacet every time. Guitar falls tacet on
"...place" in the last line (instead of playing a chord there).
