I'm not completely sure about the lyrics. We'll find out when the CD comes out.

On the verses, in the transition from G to Em you can do something like

E:---3--2--0---

on the sixth string in between strummings.



Capo on 5th fret

G: 320033
Em: 022000
C: 032010
D: 000232
Dsus4: 000233



G Em C D Dsus4 G

GI (320003@1)sometimes lose my faith in luck
                                                EmI (022000@1)don't know what I want to be when I grow up
         C (x32010@1)            D (xx0232@1)                           Dsus4 (xx0233@1)name="chord_320003@1">G
I just count the rain Wearing the floor through the boards again
GI (320003@1)wish I could find a soul to steal
                                         EmI (022000@1)could be the engine, you could be the wheel
              C (x32010@1)                 D (xx0232@1)                     Dsus4 (xx0233@1)name="chord_320003@1">G
and we could drive it home, and never have to worry about being alone



C (x32010@1)              EmOooh, (022000@1)follow my tracks
D (xx0232@1)                              Dsus4 (xx0233@1)name="chord_320003@1">G
See all the times I should have turned back
C (x32010@1)             EmOooh, (022000@1)I wept alone

I know what it means to be on my own
Em (022000@1)                    COooh, (x32010@1)the things I've known
D (xx0232@1)                             Dsus4 (xx0233@1)name="chord_320003@1">G
Looks like I'm taking the hard way home
Em (022000@1)                    COooh, (x32010@1)the seeds I've sown

GI (320003@1)never did learn how to follow the rules
                                                 EmI (022000@1)never was good at sleeping while the moon was full

I just lie and burn Wreck my mind while the planet turns
GI (320003@1)sometimes wish I could start again
                                                EmI'd (022000@1)try and do the right things every now and then
     C (x32010@1)            D (xx0232@1)                              Dsus4 (xx0233@1)name="chord_320003@1">G
I'd step in line, that's what I'd do if I could turn back time

C (x32010@1)              EmOooh, (022000@1)follow my tracks
D (xx0232@1)                              Dsus4 (xx0233@1)name="chord_320003@1">G
