       Em                     C 
All my flannels made in Bangladesh 
       Em              C 
All my t shirts in Vietnam 
          Em                      C 
There are places that we quietly ignore 
          G                     D 
There are places that we go and bomb 
           Em                         C 
You know I thought an awful lot about Jesus 
     Em             C 
Even more about Lao Tzu 
                 Em                   C 
You say that the way of the Tao is to do nothing 
              G                     D 
Then what the hell am I supposed to do 
 

 
             Am 
You know the harder you think, the deeper you sink 
    C 
The tighter you grip, the more that you slip 
 

 
       G 
So I'm singing this song about loving 
        C                          G 
All the people that you've come to hate 
     C                             G 
It's true what they say, I'm gonna di someday 
         Em                     Am 
Why am I holding on to all this weight? 
           G 
You know I really thought that thre'd be power 
            C                           G 
In thinking half of y'all was just born fools 
              C                     G 
Thought I was gathering oats for my horses 
      Em         Am          Em    C  Em  C 
I was getting by whipping my mules 
 

 
          Em                       C 
There's a book I read I don't remember 
          Em                         C 
There's a place I've been I've never seen 
          Em                          C 
There's a note that I wrote that went up in smoke 
             G                  D 
There's some songs I don't ever sing 
             Em                       C 
You know the stars in the sky were burning 
         Em                     C 
Most are burning unbeknownst to me 
                  Em          C 
I wish I would've paid more attention 
       G                      D 
To the bigger things I didn't see 
 

 
             Am 
You know the harder you think, the deeper you sink 
    C 
The tighter you grip, the more that you slip

           D 
I got some bricks so thick that they don't make sense 
       C              G 
In the walls up in my mind 
    C                            G 
But life is pretty short and the road's got forks 
     Em                        Am 
So I take 'em down while I got time 
 

 
             Am 
You know the harder you think, the deeper you sink 
    C 
The tighter you grip, the further you slip
