E5 Well I bit on my lip, and I kicked at my toes E5 No, I don't need your lecture cause your lecture won't show D5 A5 E5 That you told me so I told you so E5 But I would have managed, I would have been fine E5 I'd do it myself and I'd do it just my way, D5 A5 E5 I'm a big man for thinking just so. A5 E5 But somebody told me that your mother was born A5 E5 Oh a wandering woman with a spirit so sworn of the riverside A5 B5 E5 A5 And it never surprised me but it meant that my love was immobilized B5 E5 A5 Well, it meant that my love was immobilized D5 A5 E5 Cause when it comes, it comes when it does. E5 But you came in the middle and you fell in my hands E5 Oh a, wonderful woman and an average man. D5 A5 E5 See that makes me the lucky man E5 I won't be deserving, but I won't be denied E5 See, I fell in this position, I will still teach my kids pride D5 A5 E5 Because failure's a part of it all D5 A5 E5 And if failure don't hurt then failure don't work at all A5 E5 But somebody told me, our nephew was born A5 E5 Oh, a beautiful baby, so smart and so sure of his little self A5 B5 E5 A5 And in a wonderful way he was making me feel so small B5 E5 A5 Was making me feel so small, B5 E5 A5 Was making me feel so small. D5 A5 E5 And I don't think I've felt this before. A5 E5 A5 In all the reasons to come, well they override my body and, E5 A5 E5 I point to the sun, cause where it's warm is where the wilderness grows A5 And it grows, and it grows 'till it all becomes nothing A5 E5 And nothing is left as you know. A5 E5 (We walked it for a thousand years, with broken eyes and salted ears A5 E5 Complaining 'bout the weather like we ever had a choice. A5 E5 Through all the noise and self abuse, you waited for your fill of truth A5 E5 Oh I'm terrified I'll achieve nothing at all.)
