[Verse]
GI’m through with all this practicing I’m C/Gdone with this reGhearsing
There’s Cso much I Emwant to leave beDsus2hind
GSome will turn to dust, C/Gsome will go to Grust
And I guess Csome things will Embe just Dsus2fine
[Instrumental]
|  G|  C/G-  G|  C-  G|  Dsus2|
GI took my phone I C/Gskipped it like a Gstone
Across the Criver that Emruns past your Dsus2house
I guess Gsome things you can’t look up C/Gon that little Gscreen
Something’s you Cgot to figure Emout for yourDsus2self
[Chorus]
If you Amcome with me all your Csorrows will be
As far aGway as they were when you were Dsus2young
And if you Amcross this sea all the Csalt you will need
Will be Gin the palm of your Chand
And all the things that you Gthought that you needed
Will be Cright back where you left them when you get hGome
[Instrumental]
|  G|  C/G-  G|  C-  G|  Dsus2| x2
[Verse]
GThey’ll be sunrise in the hills, wild C/Ghorses in the Gfields
All the Cblackberries will be Emwashed off with the Dsus2rain
I don’t Gmean to over sell it, all the C/Ghighs and lows will Gtell it
But you Cmust admit it’s Emtime for a Dsus2change
[Chorus]
If you Amcome with me all your Csorrows will be
As far aGway as they were when you were Dsus2young
And if you Amcross this sea all the Csalt you will need
Will be Gin the palm of your Chand
And all the things that you Gthought that you needed
Will be Cright back where you left them when you get homGe
[Instrumental]
|  G|  C/G-  G|  C-  G|  Dsus2| x2
[Bridge]
When they Amtold me I would fail, I Cdid not believe them
My Gdisbelief has been my greatest Cgift
When you’re Amborn a pinky with Cno road before you
GThen your choices are Cinfinite
Yes and you’ll be Gfine as long as you Cdon’t believe the myth
That a Grolling stone gathers no moss, we Cgather everything
Don’t Amask me to explain I do not Emknow
I Amwas not born to walk away but I was Cborn to know when to let Dgo
[Verse]
I never Gasked for their forgiveness, I never C/Gneeded their acGceptance
Their Cjudgment is Emtheir’s and their’s aDsus2lone
I just Ghope that they have fun, doing C/Gall that they are Gdoing
I won’t Cbe around to Emsee how it Dsus2goes
[Chorus]
If you Amcome with me all your Csorrows will be
As far aGway as they were when you were Dsus2young
And if you Amcross this sea all the Csalt you will need
Will be Gin the palm of your Chand
And all the things that you Gthought that you needed
Will be Cright back where you left them
GIf you ever choose to, Cif you ever choose to
GIf you ever choose to, Cif you ever choose to come back home

[Verse]

G C/G G

I’m through with all this practicing I’m done with this rehearsing

C Em Dsus2

There’s so much I want to leave behind

G C/G G

Some will turn to dust, some will go to rust

C Em Dsus2

And I guess some things will be just fine

[Instrumental]

G C/G G

I took my phone I skipped it like a stone

C Em Dsus2

Across the river that runs past your house

G C/G G

I guess some things you can’t look up on that little screen

C Em Dsus2

Something’s you got to figure out for yourself

[Chorus]

Am C

If you come with me all your sorrows will be

G Dsus2

As far away as they were when you were young

Am C

And if you cross this sea all the salt you will need

G C

Will be in the palm of your hand

And all the things that you thought that you needed

C G

Will be right back where you left them when you get home

[Instrumental]

[Verse]

G C/G G

They’ll be sunrise in the hills, wild horses in the fields

C Em Dsus2

All the blackberries will be washed off with the rain

G C/G G

I don’t mean to over sell it, all the highs and lows will tell it

C Em Dsus2

But you must admit it’s time for a change

[Chorus]

Am C

If you come with me all your sorrows will be

G Dsus2

As far away as they were when you were young

[Bridge]

Am C

When they told me I would fail, I did not believe them

G C

My disbelief has been my greatest gift

Am C

When you’re born a pinky with no road before you

G C

Then your choices are infinite

G C

Yes and you’ll be fine as long as you don’t believe the myth

G C

That a rolling stone gathers no moss, we gather everything

Am Em

Don’t ask me to explain I do not know

Am C D

I was not born to walk away but I was born to know when to let go

[Verse]

G C/G G

I never asked for their forgiveness, I never needed their acceptance

C Em Dsus2

Their judgment is their’s and their’s alone

G C/G G

I just hope that they have fun, doing all that they are doing

C Em Dsus2

I won’t be around to see how it goes

[Chorus]

Am C

If you come with me all your sorrows will be

G Dsus2

As far away as they were when you were young

Am C

And if you cross this sea all the salt you will need

G C

Will be in the palm of your hand

And all the things that you thought that you needed

Will be right back where you left them

G C

If you ever choose to, if you ever choose to

G C

If you ever choose to, if you ever choose to come back home
