G  Bm  C  D  x2 



verse 1: 

              G       Bm       C             G 
Well I came alone to find a little piece of mind 

   G                Bm             C                     G 
Neglected all my duties stepping off that straightened line 

            G          Bm                     Em             A 
Now I just sit at my front door filled with inner lakes and sounds 

                 G           D               G 
It's like I'm watching the weeds grow on my brow 


           G       Bm            C             G 
And I had pure potential and a soiled white shirt 

       G              Bm             C               G 
With love enough to kill me but was unsure of its worth 

                G          Bm              Em             A 
And though the night is sweetened by some rising of the moon 

               G               D               G 
I've lived enough to know the battle's never through 





      C              G        D              G 
You pass something down, no matter where or how 

                   C            G       D 
Well there'll be weeds or wildflowers fixed upon your brow 

                 C           G             Em              A   
And there's a crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue 

                 G             D                 G 
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done 



G  Bm  C  D  x2 


verse 2: 

              G              Bm       C             D 
Whenever you travel to the desert or travel to the sea 


         G            Bm           C                G 
Looking out on the horizon asking what you made of me 


            G          Bm                     Em             A 
And as we all hang around with our freedom of mind 

    G           D          G 
As all of our branches entwine 


            G        Bm       C          D 
And as I watch the brick erode within a day 

         G            Bm           C                G 
The leaves changing colors and the barrowfuls of hay  

            G        Bm       Em             A 
And as a blade of sunshine cuts across my chest 

    G              D          G 
The blood beneath boils with unrest 


Chorus 



G       Bm      C  D 
La  La  La  La  Laaa  x2 


G       Bm      Em C  D 
La  La  La  La  Laaa  x2 

        C             G               D              G 
Pushed around by the wind and the worthless little thing 

          C                G              D 
But the world can feel the changes of a butterfly's wings 

                 C           G          Em              A   
And so that crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue 

                 G                 D                    G 
Will leave be tweeds before your flowers when yet have sprung 

                 G             D                 G 
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done
