[Verse 1]
(main riff)
Do you see the way that tree bends
does it inspire,
leaning out to catch the suns rays
a lesson to be applied
are you getting something out of this
all encompassing trip
[Chorus]
D2 (slide) G
You can spend your time alone,
F G D G F
redigesting past regrets.....Or
G - D G
You can come to terms and realise
F D G F
you're the only one who can't forgive yourself .....Oh
D
Makes much more sense,
G - F D
to live in the present tense
[2nd verse:]
(main riff)
Have you ideas on how this life ends,
Checked your hands and studied the lines,
Have you the belief that the road ahead
ascends off into the light
seems that needlessly it getting harder
to find an approach and a way to live
are we getting something out of this
all encompassing trip
[Chorus]
D2 (slide) G
You can spend your time alone,
F G D G F
redigesting past regrets.....Or
G - D G
You can come to terms and realise
F D G F
you're the only one who cannot forgive yourself .....Oh
D
Makes much more sense,
G - F
to live in the present tense
[Outro]
