This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.
intro
D D/C# Em7/B Em7/B D D/C# Em7/B Em7/B
Thought I knew my mind like the back of my hand
The gold and the rainbow, but nothing panned out as I planned
D D/C# Em7/B Em7/B C Em7/B A A
The gold and the rainbow, but nothing panned out as I planned
D7 D7sus4 D7 D7sus4 G G/F#
They say only milk and honey's gonna make your soul satisfied
E E Gmaj7 Gmaj7
Well I better learn how to swim
Bb C D D A7sus4 A7
'Cause the crossing is chilly and wide
Twisted guardrail on the highway, broken glass on the cement
The ghost of someone's tragedy, how recklessly my time has been spent
They say that it's never too late, you don't get any younger
Well I better learn how to starve the emptiness
Bb C D D A7sus - A13sus A7sus - A13sus
And feed the hunger
D D C/D C/D G G/F#
Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road
A7 A#dim7 Bm Bm/A
You can stand there and agonize
Gmaj7 E7/G# A7 A13 A7no3 A7no3
Till your agony's your heaviest load
D D C/D C/D G G/F#
You'll never fly as the crow flies, get used to a country mile
E E Gmaj7 Gmaj7 Bb6 Bbmaj7
When you're learning to face the path at your pace, every choice is
D D A7sus A7
worth your while
And there's always retrospect to light a clearer path
Every five years/days or so I look back on my life and I have a good laugh
You start at the top, go full circle round, catch a breeze, take a spill
But ending up where I started again makes me wanna stand still
Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road
You can stand there and agonize, till your agony's your heaviest load
You'll never fly as the crow flies, get used to a country mile
When you're learning to face the path at your pace, every choice is
D D
worth your while
Bm7(4) Bm7(4) E7 E7
Stepping on a crack
C(9) C(9) G G
Breaking up and looking back
Bm7 Bm7 E7 E7
Every tree limb overhead just seems to sit and wait
C(9) C(9) G A7 A7sus4 A7 [stop]
Till every step you take becomes a twist of fate
Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road
You can stand there and agonize, till your agony's your heaviest load
You'll never fly as the crow flies, get used to a country mile
When you're learning to face the path at your pace, every choice is
worth your while
Up on the watershed, standing at the fork in the road
You can stand there and agonize, till your agony's your heaviest load
You'll never fly as the crow flies, get used to a country mile
When you're learning to face the path at your pace, every choice is
worth your while
