Capo 4
Note: Guitar 2, Spanish guitar throughout
(intro - Arpeggios)
Am-E
(Verse - Arpeggios)
Am
Take me backwards
E
Turn me around
Am
Cannot find my balance on the ground
F
This world is to heavy
G Am
For a feather falling quickly
Am E
And I wrote you a story
Am
But I’m afraid of how it ends
F G
And all my friends are doing well
Am
And I’m still on the mend
(Chorus - Strummed)
C G
I’m going to lay back down
F
Hope the wind takes me around
E
I gotta find some courage in this town
C G
Cause nobody’s going to save
F
Somebody who won’t change
E
Try to be brave

(Verse - Arpeggios)
Am E
And nothing’s coming easy
Am
And all at once I feel a little queasy
F
Oh but if your love’s my remedy
G Am
Won’t you please come and be with me
Am E
It’s not like there’s much better
Am
Nobody’s grass is as green as mine
F
I can’t say that I’m satisfied
G Am
3000 miles from your kiss goodbye
(Chorus - Strummed)
C G
I’m going to lay back down
F
Hope the wind takes me around
E
I gotta find some courage in this town
(Bridge - Strummed)
Am C
And everybody’s afraid
F
Cause chances come from change
Am C
And everybody’s afraid
F
Cause chances come from breaking
E Am
Chances are your breaking open
(Chorus - Strummed)
C G
I’m going to lay back down
F
Hope the wind takes me around
E
I gotta find some courage in this town
C G
Cause nobody’s going to save
F
Somebody who won’t change
E
It’s time to be brave
(outro - Arpeggios)
Am-E
