What About Everything? By Carbon Leaf
This is my first tab, but i am pretty sure it is correct. It is basically a
revision of oriolesazb's,
but with a couple changes and a capo, which makes life so much easier

Verse
G C
Holiday quiet on these streets, except for some stubborn leaves
Am G
That didn't fall with the fall, and now they clatter in vain
C
Holiday sky. Midnight clear. Wind is high, hard to steer
Am G
Old muffler rumbles like an old fighter plane
G C
In search of some rest. In search of a break
Am G
From a life of tests where something's always at stake
Where something's always so far
C
What about my broken car?
Am
What about my life so far?
D
What about my dream?
What about,
Chorus
C G
What about everything?
Em D
What about aeroplanes?
C G Em
And what about ships that drank the sea?
What about...
C G
What about the moon and stars?
Em D
What about soldier battle scars
C G D
And all the anger that they eat?
Em D G
I am not in need.
Verse 2
G
Get away and come with me.
C
Come away with me and we'll see
Am G
If I was right on that night, that a future was made
C
Before time takes each year, like a knife cuts it clear
Am G
It's school, then work and then life that just sharpens the blade
C
I think about time for fun. I think about time for play
Am G
Then I think about being done, with no resume
With no one left to blame
C
What about fortune and fame?
D
What about your love to obtain?
What about the ring?
What about,
Chorus

I find it hard to complain when compared with what about...
