NO OTHER WAY  (Jack Johnson)       [AL#13]  
FWhen your mind is a mess
so is mine
I can't Bbsleep
cause it hurts when I think
My thoughts aren't at Gmpeace
with the plans that we make
chances we Bbtake
they're not yours and not mine
there's waves that can Fbreak
all the words that we said
and the words that we Bbmean
words can fall short
can't see the unGmseen
cause the world is awake
for somebody's Bbsake, now
please close your eyes woman 
                       F(keep on  Ftill Gm)
please get some sleep
And know that if I knew
all of the answers I would not
hold them from you
know all of the things that i'd know
we told each other "there is no other Gmway"  (mm mm)
FWell too much silence can be misleading
You're Bbdrifting I can hear it in the way that you're breathing
We Gmdon't really need to find reason
Cause out the same Bbdoor that it came well it's leaving, it's leaving
FLeaving like a day that’s done and part of a season
ResBbolve is just a concept that's as dead as the leaves
But at Gmleast we can sleep, it's all that we need
When we Bbwake we will find
Our minds will be free 
To go to Fsleep and know that if I knew
all of the answers I would not
hold them from you
know all of the things that i'd know         Gm
'cause we told each other "there is no other way"  (mm mm)

NO OTHER WAY (Jack Johnson) [AL#13]

When your mind is a mess

so is mine

I can't sleep

cause it hurts when I think

My thoughts aren't at peace

with the plans that we make

chances we take

they're not yours and not mine

there's waves that can break

all the words that we said

and the words that we mean

words can fall short

can't see the unseen

cause the world is awake

for somebody's sake, now

please close your eyes woman

F F Gm

(keep on till )

please get some sleep

And know that if I knew

all of the answers I would not

hold them from you

know all of the things that i'd know

we told each other "there is no other way" (mm mm)

Well too much silence can be misleading

You're drifting I can hear it in the way that you're breathing

We don't really need to find reason

Cause out the same door that it came well it's leaving, it's leaving

Leaving like a day that’s done and part of a season

Resolve is just a concept that's as dead as the leaves

But at least we can sleep, it's all that we need

When we wake we will find

Our minds will be free

To go to sleep and know that if I knew

all of the answers I would not

hold them from you

know all of the things that i'd know Gm

'cause we told each other "there is no other way" (mm mm)
