IntroGGmaj7C2Em7Em9Am7G/BC2C2G/BAm7C/GD2/F#
As I survey the ground for ants
C2G/BD7sus4GC/G
Looking for a place to sit and read
C2G/BAm7C/GD2/F#
I'm reminded of the streets of my hometown
C2G/BD7sus4GC/G
How they're much like this concrete that's warm beneath my feet
And how I'm all wrapped up in my mother's face
With a touch of my father just up around the eyes
And the sound of my brother's laugh
But more wrapped up in what binds our ever distant lives
GGmaj7C2
But if I must go
Em7Em9Am7G/BC2
Things I trust will be better off without me
GGmaj7C2
But I don't want to know
Em7Em9Am7G/BC2
Life is better off a mystery
C2D7sus4GC/GG
So keep 'em coming these lines on the road
C2D7sus4EmG
And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load
C2D7sus4GC/GG
And keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
C2D7sus4GC/G
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes
Hometown weather is on TV
And I imagine the lives of the people living there
And I'm curious if they imagine me
Cause they just wanna leave; I wish that I could stay
But I get turned around
And I mistake my happiness for blessing
But I'm blessed as the poor
Still I judge success by how I'm dressing
C2D7sus4GC/GG
So keep 'em coming these lines on the road
C2D7sus4EmG
And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load
C2D7sus4GC/GG
And keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
C2D7sus4F2C2GC/GG
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes
F2C2D
La-la-la’s
So I'll sing a song of my hometown
I'll breathe the air and walk the streets
Maybe find a place to sit and read
And the ants are welcome company
Repeat ChorusC2D7sus4GC/GG
I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes.
C2D7sus4F2C2GC/GG
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes...
