intro: Am E 

Verse:
   
Am 
Take me backwards 
             E 
Turn me around 
               Am 
Cannot find my balance on the ground 
F 
This world is to heavy 
      G                     Am 
For a feather falling quickly 

Am                    E 
And I wrote you a story 
                           Am 
But I’m afraid of how it ends 
           F                  G 
And all my friends are doing well 
                       Am 
And I’m still on the mend 

  
C                        G 
I’m going to lay back down  
                            F 
Hope the wind takes me around 
                  E 
I gotta find some courage in this town 
C                        G 
Cause nobody’s going to save 
                        F 
Somebody who won’t change 
           E 
Try to be brave 


Verse 

Am                   E 
And nothing’s coming easy 
                                Am 
And all at once I feel a little queasy 
               F 
Oh but if your love’s my remedy 
           G                      Am 
Won’t you please come and be with me 

Am                         E 
It’s not like there’s much better 
                     Am 
Nobody’s grass is as green as mine 
                     F 
I can’t say that I’m satisfied 
     G                     Am 
3000 miles from your kiss goodbye 
  
  
C                      G 
I’m going to lay back down 
                       F 
Hope the wind takes me around 
                  E 
I gotta find some courage in this town 

Bridge 

Am              C 
And everybody’s afraid 
                        F 
Cause chances come from change 
Am              C 
And everybody’s afraid 
                        F 
Cause chances come from breaking 
                 E        Am 
Chances are your breaking open 
  
 
C                     G 
I’m going to lay back down 
                       F 
Hope the wind takes me around 
                  E 
I gotta find some courage in this town 
C                       G 
Cause nobody’s going to save 
                   F 
Somebody who won’t change 
                E 
It’s time to be brave
