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
