Let The Wind Blow
02:52
|

I don't know how many years it’s been
Cause I’ve been drunk most the time
Ever since you left me here
I’ve needed something in my life
So I kept a bottle near to me
And I fell in love once or twice
But I ain’t caught the high you gave me
No one else feels quite right
And I don’t know where you are
What you’ve been working at hard
Or if anybody has your heart right now
But I wanna see you again
That feeling grew prominent
Open doors and let the wind blow round
The boy you knew was red and blue
Always found a way to complain
So I never really could blame you
When it made you go insane
I’ve grown since then, just a little bit
But I don’t think I know the way
To treat you the way you deserve
And ain’t that such a risk to take
And we know that your safest bet
Is keeping a healthy distance
From the man who already went to town
But I wanna see you again
That feeling grew prominent
Open doors and let the wind blow round

Stranger

Feed me stranger
Ive been starving for some more
feed me well
until my stomach ain’t soar
Have a second helping i don’t think they’ll tell
Fill yourself up until your fingers swell
Feel no danger
you don’t gotta lock up the door
feel no anger
shacking with a troubadour
in a few months we’ll leave the farm
and when the flames have tapered
we collect the claim we made against the barn
Feed me stranger
Ive been starving for some more
it ain’t just something
I can get at the store
buy a compliment, and sell your charm
a bit of shadow won’t do no harm
Pay the wager
I bet they end up sleeping on the floor
Ain’t that the folklore
I don’t wanna work no more
that ain’t really working’ thats just having fun
but i don’t want her lifting up a thumb

I'll Never Know
03:51
|

You were, you were watching
Me do, things forgotten
Truer, than you would have thought it
For me too, if I’m being honest
I won’t look the other way
I don’t think that is my place
How you got this look on my face
I’ll never know
I’m past, tryna hide it
You’ve got me, doubtlessly decided
Why ask, how it started inclining
When stopping, is far out of our timing

Alright
04:44
|
|||
I had just started feeling better
She’d gotten close and I let her
When I know that I should have never
Put her in that place cause I remember
The light leaving so many eyes
And knowing the fault is all mine
It keeps getting heavier over time
And I just want her to be alright
For some time I had forgotten
Why I was alone at the bottom
She distracted me from all those problems
But demons catch up if you’ve got em
And they’ve always got me in their sights
Eyes on us all day and all night
And it keeps getting heavier over time
And I just want her to be alright
Yea I just want her to be alright

Verse
A D A
I’ve been inside the same Winter city

For quite a few years by now

And I’ve been keeping the same bad company

That I kept when you were around
D A D A
And yet I wonder why you let me fly

When you were so in love with me

The truth always hits hard and out of the dark

That no one else could make me as happy

It’d be a dream to see your door

And not be passed out drunk on the floor

So if I rode down to your little town
F#m E A
Would you make some time for me

Off The Ground
05:59

picking life up off the ground again
i’ve got no appreciation
though i don’t think I can
I am reaching out my hands
picking life up off the ground again
I ain’t tried my very best
If i’m being honest
catch myself in a day dream
i’m growing tired of routine
i can’t accept the very less
picking life up off the ground again
and It won’t be long I bet
to proud to ask for help
ain’t nothing to brag about
picking life up off the ground again
picking life up off the ground again
i’ve got no appreciation
though i don’t think I can
I am reaching out my hands
picking life up off the ground again
got things to do, I can’t be bothered
drowned a double like a glass of water
when it goes down so smooth
you know i’m in a bad mood
thinking like a young fool again
From the ground I will begin
and Im through with the life of sin
my face won’t be red
no thoughts floating round my head
picking life up off the ground again

Bring It Back
02:49
|

could you love me like that?
I could love you like that
i can’t stand to see you leaving
could you miss me like this
i could miss you like this
i cant risk to see you go
you wouldn’t leave me like this
i wouldnt leave you like this
i can’t agree to leave you be
help me bring it back babe
lets get it for each other
get it for each other
help me bring it back babe
lets go down there together
go down there together
help me bring it back babe
wanna show you off
yeah I wanna show it off
help me bring it back now babe
got dope in the bag
but you “don’t go for that”,
I thought id ask
could you work me like that?
you couldn’t work me like that
got me sleeping on the job
could you get me like this?
you couldn’t get me like this
you know you’ve gotta get in line
would you treat me like this?
I wouldn’t treat you like this
I can’t believe how mean you are

Shedding Skin
04:13
|
|||
I want you so badly, it doesn’t seem right to
Want someone so badly
You know it you had me, all in your life you
Don’t show it, you’re not happy
And I shouldn’t feel hopeless, the world will still turn but
What’s the point, where’s it going
Cause I thought things were golden, at least getting better love
But these doors are all closing
The worst part is that it’s fair
For you to wanna start heading there
Now you are all I see, but it’s like a picture cause
The real thing has looked by me
You could stand beside me, the same way that we did love
But there’s a whole world you’re hiding
So maybe I misread things, when I started falling in
Cause I saw us embedding
It felt like my blessing, to get to live like you did
But now that skin is shedding
You’ll take pieces of me with you
What’ll remain of me ain’t new

Road 29

Down road 29,
you can see the whole town from the highway
People drive right by
ain’t got the time to visit, no time to come inside
I ain’t got time to leave
Down road 29, nobody follows to close behind
happy to wait in line
here to offer an open ear, look you in the eyes
watch for things you’ve never seen
still water like a sleeping child, i don’t mean to disturb you
steep mountain ridge higher than ever
come on down to the ground
come closer to me
Down road 29, i’d like to buy the house where I will die
something by the river side
somewhere we have some acreage, and guitars amplified
i like good energy
i like to have a good time down road 29

Started To Rain
07:51
|
|||
I was hanging out at an old bank street bar
(Cm) (A#) (G#)
Am G F
The first time I lied eyes
You were pushing your pains terribly far
Clinging to a glass of ice
And i saw you raise your view from the floor
to stare across the room
You may have been looking for the door
Am G
But something captured you
Hook
(G#) (Fm) (Cm)
F Dm Am
And I swear in that moment it started to rain
I spoke some words and you spoke back the same
(D#) (A#)
C G
And you moved yourself closer
(Cm) (G#)
Am F
Then anybody ought to be
(Cm) (Gm) (G#)
Am Em F
I was trying to keep those thoughts colder
(Cm) (A#) (G#)
Am G F
But you pulled them out of me
Solo(verse chords)(guitar)
Verse 2
Been at least a year since i let someone get
To me the way that you have
It’s been lonely but good for me I guess
Depending on who you ask
But you awakened something I haven’t felt
Since I was eighteen years old
Blindly prepared to give away myself
To a strange and intriguing soul
Hook 2
And I swear in that moment it started to rain
I let all my concerns be consumed by the flame
And you moved yourself closer
With no more words to be said
And you put your arms around my shoulders
As the rain fell on our heads
