fret 1
em-em-c-g x2
c-g-c-g
g-c-d-em… (last verse finish on G)
In the winter, in the dark
I lay down my broken heart
Locked it up and bound it tight
To protect it from the night
Pictured summer fields of grain
To relieve the aches and pains
But the hole inside my chest won’t let me rest
In the morning, in the light
I can hardly stand the sight
Wiping sleep out of my eyes
Under bleak and cloudy skies
Working hard for change to spend
Wondering will my troubles end
But the bills are due and the rent is too
When the weekend rolls around
I can finally hit the town
Play my songs and see my friends
Sing along and try to mend
Broken pieces of my mind
Memories that treat me kind
But nothing works for long, something’s still wrong
Maybe it’s wanderlust
Maybe I need someone to trust
Maybe my diet’s bad
Maybe I’m just going mad
Guess these chains around my heart
Just made things heavy, slow, and hard
Hope summer fields come back to set me free

Capo 6
Am I attracted to you D
Or do I just wanna be you Bm
It isn't very see through Em
What I want at all G-A
I can't believe that you do
All the things that you do
You look so fuckin good dude
Maybe give me a call
And we can be friends, friends, friends, Bm
Or maybe something more, more, more F#
I just need to talk to someone now G
I just need to find out what I'm here for A
So take a bite D
of this apple pie Em or Bm?
And look into G or Em?
my bright blue eyes A
There's a whole
world waiting
For the two of us
To take tonight
And if you don't
believe it
That's okay
because neither do I
But I do think we're gonna be alright Em-A-D
Are you attracted to me? D
Cause I don't wanna be me Bm
I'm not very comfy Em
In my skin at all G-A
But if you could see
What I can see
About us being we
Maybe we could fall
In love, love, love Bm
Wouldn't that be nice, nice, nice F#
We could be there for each other G
It would be a whole new life A
So take a chance D
on cancelled plans Em
And bubble tea G
and moonlight dance A
There's a whole
world waiting
For something good to come
from human hands
And if you don't
believe it
That's okay
because I understand
And I still think that we should try again Em-A-D
D-Bm-Em-A x4
Take a bite, baby
Try me, baby
With a scoop of ice cream, baby
Cause you know it feels right, baby
x2
Fade out (ADD A [5th fret, high E] on D chords)...

Capo 8... lol
Here at home again G-C-Em-D
When will I grow older?
It's a part that they
Forgot to mention
Put together all these minutes
Little moments wondering
What to do when I lose focus
Will I always wander
Am I always wandering?
G-C-Em-D
Now I'm stuck inside C-D-G
and stuck in my own head
I'm stuck in life
and thinking more of death
The wreckage from another life and time C-D-G-Em
taking up my storage
I was filling up that space just fine myself Am-D
Here at home again G-C-Em-D
Pour a glass of water
We'll support the body
it can sort the laundry
I collect these seconds
put them in a song to sing
Why am I still tired?
Will I always wander?
Am I always wandering?
Caught in a sequence C-D-G
always looking for an ending
when the ending means beginning
all the same
Despite experience, I'm really not much wiser C-D-G
I just get a bit more tired every day Em
I've been tired for so long Am-D
Here at home again G-C-Em-D
It's quarantuesday
Really didn't need
extra isolation
I spend too much time alone
Lying in my head already
waiting for the coming moment
do i always wander?
Am I always wandering?
Am I always wandering?
Am I always wandering?
Am I always wandering?

Capo 2
Lay awake E
Something's on your mind Am
What's the time? F#
A
Today was great E
But now I'm thinking Am
of a chance, a glance, a sign F#
Is this still right? A
Blue E
is a whisper F#
Sandy shoes A
and champagne shivers B
Sent to you E
Someone who F#
deserves the truth A
to be delivered B
I went through E
this kind of love before F#
But this one A
happened quicker B
So you can choose E
me when you're ready F#
and lover, soothe A
a heart so heavy B
I want you E
But I can't tell how bad Am
F#
A
Can I follow through? E
will I make the same mistakes this time? Am
Should I even ask? F#
A
Pink
is a silence
before whispers
break the quiet
in a blink
it begins
to spin the air
to reach the highest
I was in
this kind of mind before
but scared
to even try it
So please treat E
each other gently F#
and lover, sweet A
will be our memory B
Am-E

Goodbye July C-D
It was nice to get to know ya G
Hello early moons C-D
Rainy days and soggy shoes G-Em
Maybe someday C-D
I'll fly south, away from winter G-D-Em
But for now C
I'm stuck here singing the blues D-G
G-G-G-C-
I am a solar being
I get my power from the sun
And when the sun retires
I lay and wait till morning comes
Look over the horizon
And tell me what you see
The days are growing shorter
As autumn takes the sun from me
Goodbye July C-D
It was nice to get to know ya G
Hello early moons C-D
Rainy days and soggy shoes G-Em
Maybe someday C-D
I'll fly south, away from winter G-D-Em
But for now C
I'm stuck here singing the blues D-G

Hey girl, G
I know you're there A
I've been waiting D
I can feel it in the air Bm
And I know Em
You're somewhere close A
This time maybe D
We won't be all on our own Bm
Cut the lights Em
Let's stop the show A
Cause the thought D
Of not quite feeling right Bm
Is all I seem to know Em-A
Oh, ooo-ouha-oh G
Oh wouh-oh A
Oh oh oh G
Woah-oh oh A
Hey, girl G
Get up and move A
I've been thinking D
And I can't see what to do Bm
But I know Em
We've got to go A
Stop from sinking D
Time to live a life you chose Bm
Raise the lights Em
Pull on some clothes A
Cause the vison of D
Who you could be Bm
Can start to feel like home Em-A
Oh, ooo-ouha-oh G
Oh wouh-oh A
Oh oh oh G
Woah-oh oh A
Now remember G
You'll always have a friend C
In me G
Sometimes distant from the harbor Em
But just call my name, C
And I'll set sail G
Across the wine-dark sea Bm-Asus4
Know that I am here Em
For you G
And if C
you have the patience G
To wait for one like me Bm-Asus4
Hey girl, G
We'll get by A
Step by step D
Line by line Bm
And I know Em
How long the road A
Not travelled yet D
Seems to have so far to go Bm
Face the light Em
You too can grow A
Cause where you find D
the thorns Bm
Is where you also find the rose Em-A
Oh, ooo-ouha-oh G
Oh wouh-oh A
Oh oh oh G
Woah-oh oh Asus4

Reassessment

Fret 2
F
Take a step back, reassess life CaddG-F-C
Your feelings today, your loves Am-C-G
And your likes C
Take a step back, close all the doors
We'll open em soon, but for now
It's all yours
Patience F
We'll make progress C
Start from the center Am-C
Remember your feelings are harmless F-G-C
Start from the center, Am-C
remember your body is harmless F-G-C
Take a step back, find your connections
What holds your soul and your body together
Take a step back, isolate growth
It's not always given, it's not always owed
It's a process
Keep that patience
Time is the guide
It's a ride we don't know where it's taking us
Time is a river
We float and we swim
But it's taking us
Take a deep breath, center the mind
If something comes, hold it, then let it go by
Take a deep breath, do it again
It's time to release, it's time to begin
Patience
You can do this
You've been through worse
undeserved but these words got you through it
You've been through worse,
and it hurt, but then you still got through it
Take a step back, reassess life
Your feelings today, your loves
And your likes

Rearranging

G-D-Em-C fret 8
I am not the same person I was (single strums)
I'm rearranging
Redefining what it is that I love
What I'm about
I put the hard work in
Took the pain and laid it open
I am not the same person I was
I'm rearranging
I became something I was not (palm mute, x2 strums)
Back in the old days
Broke a part off, glued on something else
It didn't fit quite right
But better, so I thought
I was mistaken, now the pieces coming off
I'm rearranging
I am not the same person I was
We talked about it
We connected, I remembered the love
Was always there
Pulled away from fear
Now let it in, like holy water
I am not the same person I was
I'm rearranging
Every moment (single strum, Em, C, G, D )
is the ending
of another
time
It doesn't stop
for when you're feeling
all down
inside,
but hark, oh,
coming
is the you
You always knew
was right there, C
around the corner! D
I am not the same person I was Back to G, D, Em, C
I'm rearranging
Redefining what it is that I love
What I'm about
I put the hard work in
Took the pain and laid it open
I am not the same person I was
I'm rearranging
I am not the same person
I am not the same person
I am not the same person
I am not the same person I was

Fret 1
Seven days a week G
I know I'm mostly on my own G
And there's silence in my corner C
Frost inside my bones D
I don't know myself G
I know the world much less G
It's hard to make connections C
Through the fog of consciousness Am-D
I am feeble, mind and body G
Limited by time G
Haunted with distractions C
Mountains yet to climb D
But if you need me G
Make the call G
I grow stronger Am
When it's you who needs someone to come and catch them when they fall Em-G-C-D
I'll be there G
We'll make it through G
We'll be together in the end C
Because, my friend D
I love you G
