[G]
[D] [G] If I [D] knew my mind [G] like the back of my [D] hand [G] The gold in [D] the rainbow, [G] but nothing panned
out as I planned [A] They say only milk [Am] and honey's gonna make
you so
[G] satisfied [D] [E] Well I better learn how [G] to swim
[Bb] Cause the crossing [C] is chilly [D] and wide [A] Twisted [D] guardrails on the [Bm] highway
Broken glass on the [D] cement [G] A ghost of [D] someone's [Db] tragedy
[Bm] How [G] recklessly my time has been spent [A] They say that [D] it's never [Am] too late
[D] You don't get [G] any [D] younger [E] Well I better learn how [G] to starve
The emptiness [Bb] and [C] feed [D] the hunger Up on the watershed
Standing at the fork in [G] the [E] road [A] [Bb] You can stand there [Bm] and [D] agonize
[G] Through your [Ab] eyes your heavy [A] load You'll never fly as [D] the crow flies
But [A] you're used to a country [G] mile [E] When you're learning [G] to face the path
And [Bb] you'll face every choice is [D] what you are
[A] And there's [D] always treacherous paths [A] [Bm] Light a [D] clearer path
[G] Every five years or so [D] I look back on [Bm] my life And I have a [C] good [Bm] [A] laugh
You start at [A] the [Am] top, go full circle [D] round Catch [Am] a breeze, [D] take a spill
[E] But ending [G] up where I started [Bb] again [C] Makes me wanna [D] stand still
[A] Up on [D] the watershed [A] Standing at the fork in [G] the [E] road
[A] [Bb] You can stand there [Bm] and [D] agonize [G] Through your eyes [E] your heavy [A] load
[E] [A] You'll never fly as [D] the crow flies But you're used to a country [G] mile
[D] [E] When you're learning [G] to face the path And you'll face every choice is [D] what you are
[Bm] Stepping on [E] a crack [C] Breaking up
[G] and looking back
[Bm] Every trail in overhead seems to send them away
[C] Every step you take [G] becomes just [A] a page
[E]
Up on [D] the [A] watershed [D]
Standing at the fork in the road
[Gb] You can stand there [Bm] and [Gbm] agonize [G] Through your eyes [Ab] your heavy [A] [D] load
[A]
You'll never fly as the crow flies [A] But you're used to a country [G] [D] mile
[E]
When you're learning [G] to face the path And [C] you'll face every choice is [D] what you are
[E]
Up on [D] the watershed [A]
Standing at the fork in [G] the [D] [A] road
[Bb] You can stand there [Bm] and [D] agonize [G] Through your eyes [E] your heavy [A] load
[E]
You'll never fly as [D] the crow flies [A] But you're used to a country [G] mile
[D]
When you're learning [G] to face the path And [C] you'll face every choice is [D] what you are
[E]
And when you're learning [G] to face the path And [Gm] you'll face [A] every choice is [D] what you are
