Tall Trees Ep Album

VERSE I was driving back west through the patches of fog We had the brights turned on and we listened to songs I didnâ??t know it then but I was right where I needed to be. You were back at home you were working a job and you were hangin out nights with your friends at the bar. You didnâ??t know it then but you were right where you needed to be. VERSE I was driving back west through the patches of fog We had the brights turned on and we listened to songs I didnâ??t know it then but I was right where I needed to be. You were back at home you were working a job and you were hanging out nights with your friends at the bar. You didnâ??t know it then but you were right where you needed to be. Chorus When all you have is whatâ??s inside your pocket, and all your dreams seem stuck on the shelf. Well you best prepare the way for change is cominâ??. Cuz the road will always take you somewhere else. VERSE I was waking up to the sound of the raindrops while you while you were in the southeast sleepin in truck stops. I didnâ??t know it then but I was right where I needed to be. You were making friends with people Iâ??d never meet and I was prayin to God that your band would succeed. I didnâ??tâ?? know it then but you were right where you needed to be. Chorus (variation) When all you have is whatâ??s inside your pocket and all your dreams seem stuck up on the shelf, you best prepare the way for change is coming, yes it is. Oh the road will always take you somewhere else. Yeah the road will always take you somewhere. BRIDGE Donâ??t forget all youâ??ve ever wanted is yours Donâ??t forget all youâ??ve ever wanted is yours. Itâ??s yours. Well the east coast is busy and the west coast is wild. The south keeps it steady while the north rolls around. And somewhere in the middle thereâ??s a town that no one knows where every local kid comes out to every local show. Oh the road will always take you somewhere. Misunderstood-Vocal Few It is harder than you know To draw water from a stone Iâ??ve been trying for years Still thereâ??s nobody home You pick my brain like I got something Good to say about why weâ??re here Itâ??ll be years before I can answer Chorus Remember that I I never claimed to know the answers Iâ??ve just been searching for the good Because at my best Iâ??m a filthy sinner And at my worst Iâ??m misunderstood VERSE It is harder than you know To keep shouldering false hope I cant carry your fears, Iâ??m not the one you should ask here You pick my brain like I got something Good to say about â??whatâ??s it mean to exist?â?� But I canâ??t say anything because Iâ??m not existing yet Chorus I never claimed to have the answers Iâ??ve just been searching for the good Because at my best Iâ??m a filthy sinner And at my worst Iâ??m misunderstood Chorus I never claimed to have the answers I have been searching for the good because at my best Iâ??m a wayward sinning fool So donâ??t misunderstand me telling you To not misunderstand misunderstood Good Enough-Vocal Few Tuning: Standard VERSE I wade through the empty days until you come back in sight I count all the different ways but you still wont say itâ??s rightâ?? Cause I am all the selfish things that you'd never want me for I sail close but you drift away â??til your hearts ready for more PREChorus I won't go; no I'm not like them at all Chorus All that youâ??ve learned from love Is you werenâ??t good enough But all that youâ??ve heard is wrong You know youâ??re strong enough VERSE I keep all my hurt locked up in a buried treasure chest Any man who has had a glimpse made a mess of it and leftâ?? Cause I am all the selfish things that you'd never love me for I was close now Iâ??m far away trying to find the other shore PREChorus But donâ??t go, no Iâ??m not like them at all BRIDGE Donâ??t give up, donâ??t go cold, youâ??re close to moving on If it donâ??t hurt, then itâ??s wrong, so letâ??s hurt for awhile â??til we feel something, oh come on VERSE Hearts race in the salty air as you put your feet on sand Like a dream youâ??re in front of me with your treasure chest in hand Donâ??t leave, I will show everything Simple and Free-Vocal Few VERSE My path in life was chosen In a flurry of emotion You know the music seemed to sweep me off my feet And I didnâ??t have much choice But to follow her clear voice To try to find the things she had in store for me PREChorus I could have been a scientist but I donâ??t mean to whine Itâ??s just that I am so much more than what you see I could have been a million things to gain respect from kings and queens But I chose a minstrels life Simple and free simple and free simple and free Chorus I donâ??t mind the fact these musical notes Haunt my mind and resonate from my bones Simple and free is what I said Simple and free â??til Iâ??m dead VERSE My path in life was chosen in a flurry of emotion You know the spirit seemed to take me by the hand And I didnâ??t have much choice but to listen for his voice And try to help my boy as he became a man PREChorus I could have been a novelist Unwinding worlds that donâ??t exist or a hundred other things I do believe I could have written you a symphony Become the queen of everything But I chose a minstrels life Simple and free simple and free simple and free Chorus INTERLUDE BRIDGE (Chorus Chords) I lost myself inside these musical notes The melody swells and takes me home Iâ??ve never been alone I will always find rest Simple and free â??til Iâ??m dead One Day Soon-Vocal Few INTRO VERSE I watch her breathing while she sleeps And then a feeling buries me Iâ??d die to see her walk to me To smile in disbelief At the ground beneath her feet VERSE She cracks a smile and shows her teeth Itâ??s been a year, she looks like me Iâ??d die to teach her how to pray To give to God each day To know it when I say Chorus Youâ??ll never be alone Youâ??ll never be alone Even after all of your innocence is gone Youâ??ll never be alone VERSE One day soon sheâ??ll say Daddy, I love a boy and he loves me And Iâ??ll watch her leave and then Iâ??ll pray And give to God that day And hope her heart is safe A few weeks later sheâ??ll come home Crying that boy had let her go He wasnâ??t ready yet to be The kind of man she needs So I hold her close and sing, softly Chorus Youâ??ll never be alone Youâ??ll never be alone Even as your heart is breaking donâ??t lose hope Youâ??ll never be alone VERSE One day soon, sheâ??ll walk the aisle My little girl, my precious child Beautiful woman, veiled and sweet Iâ??ll smile in disbelief As the tears roll down my cheek And then Iâ??ll whisper, softly Chorus Wild I Am-Vocal Few VERSE Iâ??ve been walking around this town And Iâ??ve decided I donâ??t ever wanna be another face in the crowd Iâ??ve been talking to people I meet Saying, â??Iâ??ve been thinking about leaving and Iâ??m taking next to nothing with meâ?� PREChorus And I know that public opinion says that I should settle down But thereâ??s something inside my heart that fights against the crowd Chorus And it is wild Wild I VERSE Iâ??ve been thinking of things I donâ??t know And Iâ??m not about to settle with the present if my heart wants to go Youâ??ve got your convictions and Iâ??ve got mine But if youâ??re trying to tame the lion in me itâ??ll be a waste of your time PREChorus And I know that public opinion says to be a realist But if you tame the beast in me, then I would not exist Chorus Cause I am wild Wild, wild, I am BRIDGE I always find it hard to ascertain Why it is that I feel this way When my whole life is in disarray The future makes me feel alive Iâ??ve always known the romantic side Of not knowing where Iâ??ll sleep at night I canâ??t stand when my hands are tied My bed the ground, my roof the sky Chorus Wild, wild, wild, I am
