Hot On The Trail

	  		
Verse 1:
Am 
Well you don't like that way that I am (is not the way) 
F 
Way that you want and the way you understand (but I can't) 
C 
Can't help being the way that I am (it's just the way) 
G 
Way that it is and what I know so sorry about 
  
Am 
All of these things that I be and I know (it's all me) 
F 
And not you but this ain't how I wish (it to be) 
C 
For you and your way and I know (it's all me) 
G 
Just know that I know, I know it's all on me 
  
Pre-Chorus

F                             G                    Am 
All the little pieces make up so much sense in the distance, a-whoa-ho-ho-ho 
F                 G              Am 
Fragmented to the point of is it possible? 
  


F          G          Am        F 
Hot on the trail of a real fine life 
F          G          Am           F 
This could be what it means to be alive 
F            G           Am              F 
Can't be too sure but it feels the right way 
F        G               Am 
Love is infinite like sun rays 

  
Verse 2:

  F           G          C 
I know what I need to be me 
      F          G           C 
And I know being me makes it hard to see 
F             G              C 
Standing on a precipice isn't new 
     F           G              C 
Those demons sometimes get me seeing blue 
  
Bridge:

F                    G 
All this, call this, what you want but it 
C              F 
Makes me feel alive 
F                      G 
Stowed it , showed it, now I know it 
C              F 
Can't be in my mind  
F                        G 
It was foreign, pouring, I've been storing 
C               F 
This for a long while  
F                        G 
I consumed, felt doomed, sung a new tune 
C             F 
Eventually in time 
  
 
Verse 3:

Am 
But you don't like that way that I feel (is the way) 
F 
Way that makes you feel worse all of the time (and I know) 
C 
Know that it's not okay for you (and it's not) 
G 
Not for me and is for you so sorry about 
  

Am 
All of these things that you didn't sign up for (and I don't) 
F 
Don't wish the pain on you it's so sore (but I've been) 
C 
Honest to fault (but it doesn't help) 
G 
I know that hurts and it hurts and it keeps on hurting 
  
Am 
Every single time we try and try to 
F 
make things right for you and I 
C 
We just kept digging, digging it deep 
E 
Below our feet 'till we started to sink 
  
Am 
And I didn't know what what to do 
F 
I told myself the truth the truth 
C 
And I could understand and you could understand 
E7 
But how could we stand, when there was nowhere to stand? 
  
Am 
And all the little things that get under our skin 
       F 
Didn't make us better in that heavy weather 
  C 
I hope that it's better but never upsetter 
   E7 
We took ours hands, made some vague plan 
  
Pre-Chorus

F                             G                    Am 
All the little pieces make up so much sense in the distance, a-whoa-ho-ho-ho 
F                 G                Am 
Fragmented to the point of is it possible? 



F          G          C         F 
Hot on the trail of a real fine life 
F          G          C            F 
This could be what it means to be alive 
F            G           C               F 
Can't be too sure but it feels the right way 
F       G                C 
Love is infinite like sun rays 

  
Verse 4:

  F           G          C 
I know what I need to be me 
      F          G           C 
And I know being me makes it hard to see 
    F               G           C 
The distance hasn't always been clear 
    F                G              C      E 
But finally with our love it could appear 
  
    F 
And you don't like what it is 
    G 
And you don't know what it is 
    F 
And I can't sum it up easily 
    G 
But I know what it is that I plainly see 
  


     Am 
Yeah who could have liked what it was? 
F 
It caused such a fuss 
C 
My heart placed in your hand 
G 
Then we gave love a chance and
