TABBED BY [email protected]
TO SOUND MORE LIKE THE CD YOU SHOULD TRY ARPEGGIATING
THE CHORDS (FINGERPICKING!)
NO CAPO
G C G D
The picture I have is you standing in front of a lake
G C
There’s sun on your face and you’re smiling a way
G D G
That really gives nothing away
Just judging by the shadows, it’s noon or maybe one or two
You’ve got the rest of the day and your whole life to play
And the world is waiting on you
But I really just can’t remember the night that you went away
It happened so fast, so long in the past
G D G
Did I ever know this girl by the lake?
Did I even know the girl by the lake?
Chorus:
C G D G
To live is to fly and I’m learning to try
C G D
But sometimes it’s all such a chore
C G D G
If the breeze doesn’t come and clouds block the sun
C G D
You’ve got to work harder to soar
We’re all here just a dancing like we know what we are trying to do
But the fact is you can’t so you dance and you dance
Keep on moving till the music is through
There’s nothing that says that you have to, no rules that say you must
And what may seem unfair is just fates way of daring
Us all to learn how to trust
It’s sun on a butterfly’s wings stretching them out to dry
And a breeze to help with the chore
But if the breeze doesn’t come and clouds block the sun
You’ve got to work harder to soar.
Well the picture I have is you standing in front of a lake
And you smiling a way that gives nothing away
Did I ever know this girl by the lake?
Did I even know the girl by the lake?
