Wild Sage Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

GI leave the house as soon as it gets Alight outside C

like a prisoner Gbreaking out of jail.

and I steal down to business A15-501 C

like I had a bounty Ghunter on my tail.

and somebody Astops to pick me up,

but he Cdrops me off just down the block.

and along the highGway E where the Cempty sprits Gbreathed,

wild sage Dgrowing in the Gweeds.

walked down the soft shoulder and I count my steps.

heading vaguely eastward, sun in my eyes.

and I lose my footing and I skin my hands, breaking my fall.

and I laugh to myself and look up at the skies

and then I think I hear angels in my ears

like marbles being thrown against a mirror.

and along the highway, where unlucky stray dogs bleed,

wild sage growing in the weeds.

F and some days I don't miss my Gfamily. F

and some days I Gdo. F

and some days I think I'd feel Gbetter if I tried Eharder. C

most days I know it's not Dtrue.

I lay down right where I fell, cold grass in my face.

and I hear the traffic like the rhythm of the tides.

and I stare at the scrape on the heel of my hand,

'til it doesn't sting so much,

and until the blood's dried.

and when somebody asks if I'm ok, I don't know what to say.

and along the highway, from cast-off, innumerable seeds,

wild sage growing in the weeds.
