[G] [Em]
[Bm] [D]
[G] Halfway to Memphis, [Em] driving in the rain, [Bm] self-confidence slipping, [D] still running away, [G] from the face
in the mirror, the lines on the face.
[Bm] From New [G] York City [D] to the San Francisco Bay, [C] from the ghost in the closet, [D] the monkey on your back,
[Em] he knows you've [C] been there watching your back, [Am] and your back [D] still burns.
Just [Bm] [G] be yourself, [Em] you're like no one else, [Bm] there's nobody like you, [D] you can't find it on the shelf,
[G] just let the world know [Em] that you're ready for show.
[Bm] Count three and let it go, [D] before you [G] turn around for home, [Em] [Bm] put it right [G] here, [D] [G] down by the lithocore,
near the old stone wall, [Bm] let time stand still, [D] yet the water [G] still falls, there's nothing much changes,
but the seasons [Em] still change, [Bm] just wishing and hoping, [G] [D] to break even again.
[C] Take these things with you, you [D] take them to the heart, [Em] but take nothing for granted, [C] well there's a good place to [Em] start.
[Am] Do you feel like a [Em] circle [D] again?

[Bm] Count three and let it go, [D] before you [G] turn around [Em] for home, leave no strengths or [G] weights, young, deft, weak blood,
