Vox on the 3 on “long”

	G	B	C	G
Well I came a	long to	find a l	ittle peace of m	ind

	G	B	C	G
Negle	ctin’ all m	y duties, steppin’ o	ff that straightened lin	e

	G	B	Em	A7
Now I just s	it by my fro	nt door filled with indo	lence and s	ound

	G	D	G
It’s like I’m wa	tchin’ the weeds	grow on my brow

	G	B	C	G
And I had a pure	potenti	al in a	soiled white shi	rt

	G	B	C	G
With lov	e enough to ki	ll me, but was uns	ure of its worth

	G	B	Em	A7
And though the n	ight is	sweetened by some rising	of the	moon

	G	D	G
I’ve lived enoug	h to know the ba	ttle’s never thr	ough

Hard stop on “pass”

	C	G	D	G
You pass	something do	wn, no ma	tter where or ho	w

	C	G	D
Will there be we	eds or w	ildflowers affix	ed upon your bows

	C	G	Em	A7
And there’s a c	rooked burning c	igarette roll	in’ on your tong	ue

	G	D	G
Will there be we	eds or wildflowe	rs when you’re d	one

	G	B	C	G
Remember you tra	veled through the d	esert, you tr	aveled to the se	a

	G	B	C	G
Lookin’	out on some hori	zon, asking what	you mean to m	e

	G	B	Em	A7
And we a	ll hang aro	und with a fr	ee or toiled m	ind

	G	D	G
While al	l of our	branches entwin	e

	G	B	C	G
And as I	watch the b	rick er	ode from day to d	ay

	G	B	C	G
The leav	es change their	colors and the l	oft fills with h	ay

	G	B	Em	A7
And as a b	lade of su	nshine cu	ts across my chest

	G	D	G
The bloo	d beneath b	oils with unr	est

	C	G	D	G
You pass	something do	wn, no ma	tter where or ho	w

	C	G	D
Will there be we	eds or w	ildflowers affix	ed upon your bows

	C	G	Em	A7
And there’s a c	rooked burning c	igarette roll	in’ on your tong	ue

	G	D	G
Will there be we	eds or wildflowe	rs when you’re d	one

G	B	Em	A7

	C	G	D	G
Blown ab	out by the wi	nd, and a wo	rthless little thin	g

	C	G	D
But the	world can feel the ch	anges of a	butterfly’s wing

	C	G	Em	A7
And so that	crooked burning c	igarette ro	llin’ on your tongu	e

	G	D	G
Will leave its w	eeds before your	flowers yet have s	prung

With hard stops

	G	D	G
Will there be we	eds or wildflowe	rs when you’re d	one
