C  Em  F  G 

C                     Am                           Em                   
Died in the woods youve been cornered by a natural desire 
           F                                             C 
You wanna hop along the with the giddy throng through life 
C                       Em              F                      G 
But how you did learn to steer when theyre grinding all you gears 

C                        Am           Em                  F             
Youve been talking for hours you say time will wash every tower to the sea 
C                    Em    F             G 
And now you got this worry in your heart 
             F             C                    G 
When I guess its only life its only natural 
            F               C                        G 
We all spent a little while going down the rabbit hole 
                 Am                       C     
The things they taught you lining up to haunt you 
                       G            F    Em 
They got your back against the wall 
        F                                         G 
I called on you on the telephone wont you pick up the receiver 
  
C                        G            F           C          
Ive been down of  every road that youre walking now 
C                    Em              F 
It doesnt have to be so dark and lonesome 
C                     G          F          Em                      G 
Takes a while till we can figure this thing out and turn it back around 

C  Am    Em  G 

C                   Am      Em                      F 
You use to be such a lion before you got into all this crying on my lab 
C                       Em       F        G 
Back when you thought I never get this far 
F                        C                   G   
But did you think really I showed an opened door 
             Am                    G 
But futures calling and I?m answer 
     Am                                    C 
The wheels in motion but I never drink your portion  
                      G         F    Em 
And I know it breaks your heart 
F                                             G 
Open up your parachute something got to stop the free fall 
  
C                              G               F        C          
Ive been down of  every road that youre walking now 
C                    Em              F 
It doesnt have to be so dark and lonesome 
C                     G          F          Em                      G   F C   
Takes a while till we can figure this thing out and turn it back around
