To Cure What Ails Chords by Shakey Graves

_ _ _ _ _ _ So I tried [G#] a new [G#m] direction Ooo
_ [C#] _ _
_ Mindset a [G#] new _ [G#m] state
[G#] _
_ But writing's what it [B] is
And it's hard when you're a kid
[G] To find your _ [F#] _ place
_ I know a gang of [G#m] clever fellows _ [G#] Ooo
We built a fort out in the woods
_ [C#] We cousins fit in all the [B] girls
Ain't got a care in all the world
Yeah, the living is [F#] good
_ _ _ _ But now I'm supposed [G#m] to grow
[G#] Big and tall
_ Seems like [G#] I'll get to wear my bare feet [F#] and all
But [F#m] when the storm is [C#] through
My feet know [B] what to do
[F#] Rose, lady, you
_ _ _ Think I've grown a little [G#] thinner
_ _ [C#] _ Live off your ride [G#] in my _ coattails
[C#] _ I'll be traded [D#] in all again
For a nice stroll in your skin
Just to cure [F#] what ails
_ _ Darling
_ I can [G#m] see a palm tree from [F#] my chair
So I [G#m] don't really feel like growing anywhere
[F#] _ But even [C#] if I do
It really [B] isn't helping you
So, [F#] sweetie
_ _ _ _ _ [G#] I can see a palm tree from [F#] my chair
So I don't [G#] really feel like growing [F#] anywhere
_ But even [C#] if I do
It's really [B] of no use
Cause all [F#] the roses _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Always [G#] try to please your queen
[C#] And I'm a bit [G#] _
sleepy
_ _ Love seems easy [B] when it comes
But the coming [C#] is just another spark of heavenly
[F#] _
_ So _ maybe I'll die [G#] in a blooming stroll
_ [C#] Just a shadow of [G#] myself
_ _ _ [C#] _ I'd undo what [B] I have done
But I haven't been much [C#] more fun
You'll expect your [F#]
help
_ _ _ But now I'm supposed [G#] to grow
Get it all
Seems like [G#m] I won't get through
In my happy [F#] hell
When the day [C#] is through
There's nothing I [B] can do
Cause all the roses
[F#] _
_ Yeah, _ baby, when my [G#] life is through
[C#] I'll know just what to do
Cause all the roses
