[Intro]
Em G Bm
x3
F G D
Em G D D
x4
[Verse 1]
Em G D
With progress comes problems
Em
With wisdom comes age
G D
With lessons come learning
Em
And pleasure comes with pain
G D
You can only have the sunshine
[Instrumental]
Am G D
N.C
after the rain
[Instrumental]
Em G D
2x
[Verse 2]
Em
I took a walk
G
It got me thinking
D
Left foot, right foot
Smiling, blinking
Em G
Breathe out, breathe in
D
Somehow linking
Em G
My soul to my mind and my heart to my mouth
D
Lost and the found and the north to the south
Am G D
And the corners to the circle in my mind
[Chorus]
Em G Bm
We may find that the gate has been locked
Em G Bm
When we come back down to what we really are
Em G Bm
Retrace the footprints off the path that is lost
Am G D
Is like trying to find a needle in the dark
[Insrumental]
Em G D
x2
[Verse 3]
Em G D
My hands they are empty
Em
But they are clean
G D
I'm poor but I'm healthy
Em
I'm halfway between
G D
The gutter and the skyline
[Instrumental]
Am G D
[Verse 4]
Em G
So I took a walk to the land's end
D Em
Thinking ‘bout an ex-girlfriend that I had
G D
And the pages that I've turned
Em
And it seems to me
G
That we all love the chase
D
But once we're caught we feel encased
Em G
Behind bars of love and trust
D
Uprooted with drunken lust
Am G D
By people, people just like us
Am G D
Yeah, and people, people just like us
[Chorus]
Em G Bm
you may find that the gate has been locked
Em G Bm
When we come back down to what we really are
Em G Bm
Retrace the footprints off the path that's been lost
Am G D
Is like trying to find a needle in the dark
[Instrumental]
Em G D
x4
[Verse 5]
Em G
So I took a walk to the station
D
Lost in my imagination
Em G D
Having private conversations with myself
Em
And I'm just stumbling ‘round
G
And I wait for the sound
D
Of this crumbling town to come tumbling down
Em G
People say I'm just bummin' around
D
But I've had both my ears to the ground
[Bridge]
Em G Bm
Em G Bm
To the ground oh yeah
Em G Bm
To the ground (oh no)
[Outro]
Em G Bm
x4
Am G D
Em G Bm
x8
Am G D
