I was born come on the break of spring
C F C
Mama told me i got joy to bring
Am F C
But i got something buried in my soul
G F C
Nothing ever seemed to make me whole
C F C
I got on my knees and learned to pray
C F Am
God, if you're the one then i will stay
F C
But i was given wings to fly away
G F C
I keep my word as long as i'm okay
Am F
So tell me what it means my fingers on the strings
C G
I'm praying i got something worth the breath it takes to say
Am F
And i don't understand why i should get the chance
C G
While in my dreams my teeth are crumbling out into my hands
C
When i can't earn this plan

I don't connect with what would make you cry
Am F C
I guess there's something different in my head

But i'll pretend i understand instead
C F C
You think i found a place where i belong
C F Am
But nothing keeps me rooted here for long

I'd rather travel to a stranger place
G F C
Then recognized as a familiar face
Am F
So tell me what it means my fingers on the strings
C G
I'm praying i got something worth the breath it takes to say
Am F
And i don't understand why i should get the chance
C G
While in my dreams my teeth are crumbling out into my hands
Am
When i can't earn this plan
