Intro:
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
