[Intro] C
[Verse] CG I was out there missing steps, when you swung around to me CG Best to land, not to crash, pulling out too late CG Call on everyone you ever knew, and plead Fm7C Well I've been the bum who's underfed Fm7C I've been the one who should've said Fm7CG Maybe I'm wrong and I've always been that way
[Chorus] CAmG Are you tied to your field, wrung out CAmG Have you fallen from where glory sprouts CAmG Are you cut off in fields and pressed down CAmG Like an early spring till that don't come around C I think I've been there

[Chorus] CAmG Are you tired and broken, once so stout CAmG Are you full of the feeling, don't doubt it when it's gone CAmG I could cut off (this reel?) and leave now CAmG I could fill up with air and scream so loud C I think I'm going to
