[C] [Em] [F] [G] [C] [Em] So I'm down and so I'm out [F] [G] But so are many others. [C] [Em] So I feel like tryin' to hide [F] [G] My head 'neath these covers. [F] [C] Life is like the seasons, [F] [C] [G] After winter comes the spring. [C] [Em] So I'll keep this smile awhile [F] [G] [C] And see what tomorrow brings.

[F] [C] I've been many places [F] [C] [G] Maybe not as far as you. [C] [Em] So I think I'll stay awhile [F] [G] [C] And see if some dreams come true.
