EThat tricks are played&#8232;
DWith human brains&#8232;&#8232;
E6They don't wanna thiDnk about the other side&#8232;
E6Is that grass just gDreener cause it's fake&#8232;&#8232;

Hindsight – Built to spill

A E

Hindsight's given me  

D A

Too much memory 

D A

There's too much never seen 

It's always there 

To tell me where  

A E

Taking my own advice  

D A

Worked out for me nice 

D A

Now I've come to find  

That tricks are played 

With human brains  

E6 D

They don't wanna think about the other side 

E6 D

Is that grass just greener cause it's fake  

F#m

Cause that's all we've been told  

Since we were five years old 

Is that all we'll ever know  

A E

Hindsight brings me down 

D A

Keeps me on the ground 

D A

Though I'm never proud 

E D

I wouldn't dare if you weren't there  

A E

Think we're getting up 

D A

Feel like giving up 

D A

Feels like not enough 

E D

For you to come and waste the love  

E6 D

They don't wanna talk about the other side

E6 D

When the grass is greener then they said  

F#m

This doesn't bring to mind 

What I'd expect to find 

They must be combed with lies  

A E D

What about Canada  

E D

It's paradise with pines and ice 

E6 D

Morning comes in freight ships while your sleeping 

E6 D

Batting two ideas with no surprise  

F#m

Wait til the wine has rights  

And never walk bulls at night 

Kiss all those girls goodbye

End.
