G 
So come sit down 
         A	      G 
Will you talk with me now? 
 
Let me see through your eyes 
	       A       G 
Where there is so much life 
       A          G 
We are biding our time 
          A        G 
For these myths to unwind 
       A         G           C 
These changes we will confront 
 
G             
So please beware 
           A              G 
With every place that you head 
            
Look to your soul 
           A               G 
For these things that you know 
        A               G 
For the trees that we see 
       A       G 
Cannot forever breathe 
A                     G           C 
With the changes they will confront 
 
 
Chorus 
 
C 
You know some people  
          F             C 
They just wont understand 
          F            C        G 
They just wont understand these things 
C 
Thank you for your message 
      F              C 
But I don't understand 
           F             C       G      
No, I just wont understand these things 
 
 
            G 
This sacred land it has 
A         G 
Seen many hands, it has 
 
Wealth and gold yet it is 
A           G 
Fragile and old and all the 
A      G                A       G       
Greedy souls just don't care to know 
A                 G           C 
Of the changes it will confront 
 
G 
So speak out loud of the 
A              G 
Things you are proud 
 
And if you love this coast 
        A           G 
Keep it clean as it evolves 
        A           G 
Cos the way that it shines 
         A            G 
May just dwindle with time 
A                   G           C 
With the changes it will confront 
 
 
Chorus x 2 
 
C 
You know some people  
          F             C 
They just wont understand 
          F            C        G 
They just wont understand these things

Thank you for your message 
      F              C 
But I don't understand 
           F             C       G

G 
So hold nice and close 
              A           G 
The ones that get to your soul 
 
So that when it is cold  
         A       G 
You wont feel so alone 
        A              G 
Cos the roads that you take 
         A         G 
May just crack and break 
A                    G           C          
With the changes you will confront 
 
G 
With each gift that you share 
        A        G 
You may heal and repair 
 
With each choice that you make 
        A              G 
You may help someone's day 
       A            G 
Well I know you are strong 
         A          G 
May your journey be long 
A                  G       C 
Now I wish you the best of luck 
       A            G 
Well I know you are strong 
         A          G 
May your journey be long 
A                      G       C 
And now I wish you the best of luck
