[Verse 1]
G CG D C G
Man I can sit on my steps with the world in my hands
D C Em G C D
spending all of my time coming up with new plans to make a living.
[Verse 2]
G CG D C G
And get some rest. I wish a warning had come with this ache in my chest,
D C Em G C D
but walking alone beats working to death for a person.
[Verse 3]
G CG D C G
It’d be a shame to carry you with me like a ball and chain
D C Em G C D
while a new remedy lies soft in the shade of a curtain.
[Verse 4]
G CG D C G
Man I can sit on my steps with the world in my hands
D C Em G C D
counting all of the ways my best laid plans come up short.
[Verse 5]
G CG D C G
I’m afraid to walk down the road until I get to the end
D C Em G C D
and I finally learn why the walking began and it’s worthless.
[Verse 6]
G CG D C G
It’d be a shame to carry on playing the same old charade
D C Em G C D
while a new remedy lies soft in the shade of curtain.
