American Baby chords (acoustic guitar)
Dave Mathews Band *

Bm 5x finger picked

G                   Bm        
If these walls came crumbling down,
G                       Bm       
Fell so hard to make us lose our faith,
G                      Bm        
From what s left you d figure it out,
G                                Bm    
Still make lemonade taste like a sunny day,

Gods grace lost and the devil is proud,
G                           Bm       
But I ve been walking for a thousand miles,
G                     Bm      
One last time I could see you smile,

I m afraid we ve lost the way
