Everything's a seed

EVERYTHING’S A SEED (E G C G B E)

 Your eyes look like stars tonight. Just spinning in my head. Shooting through the sky.

If you told me one hundred times I still wouldn’t be sure. I still wouldn’t know why. It just doesn’t sound right.

 

No one knows which way to turn. Some people say they do. Some people do they say. Do people so they may.

But only on Tuesdays.

 

No one does a selfless deed. Everything returns. Everything’s a seed.

So if you’re holding up the sun and you says it’s getting hot but you’re saving everyone.

You’re not saving anyone.

And it was

AND IT WAS (D A D G G E)

And it was a beautiful morning. Opening everything everywhere.

And it was something to laugh at because we laugh when we’re happy.

Did you hear your name? Did it sound strange? Did you ask did you ask the clouds? Were you surprised when the sun came out?

And it was a beautiful morning.

Everything every time stands still. Watching the grass turn green on the hill.

And it was a beautiful morning. And it was a beautiful morning.

Boulders in the river

BOULDERS IN THE RIVER (D A D G G E, capo 3)

Your hands are clean. But your mouth is full. I don’t believe in going back to school.

Your eyes are dry but your cheeks are wet. I won’t forget that boulders in the river won’t stay forever.

The grass is green and it stands up straight. They’re always late but never in a hurry.

And suddenly it’s funny because I am never late but I’m always in a hurry. Maybe I should worry less. I wish I could worry less.

Because boulders in the river won’t stay forever.

 

Don’t follow the fish, follow the water. Don’t follow the bird, follow the wind. Don’t follow the stone, you won’t get far. Follow the path.
Boulders in the river won’t stay forever.

You don't have to believe in it

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BELIEVE IN IT (E A D G B E)

You don’t have to believe in it but it won’t work if you don’t. You don’t have to go home with it but if you don’t you’ll be alone.

Hold on for life until you realise you’ve been holding the wrong thing all along. And when sky finally looks in your eyes you’ll be shook and surprised. It’s how you know it’s the right time to go.

 

You don’t have to hold onto it. Is it doing you good? You don’t have to make love to it.

I’ll be gone at the top of the morn. Don’t mean everyone else needs to leave. I saw people making ways for the hills but I’d rather be still just floating on the deep blue sea.

 

You don’t have to believe in it. I felt the wind and I followed it. The path was dark but the sky was lit. She cried: This is it!

Sometimes it feels like losing

SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE LOSING (E A D G B E)

Let it all happen to me. Leave me where you find me. Sometimes it feels like losing.

Wave break slowly. Wind blow gently. Bird sing softly.

 

Stop me if you need me. Push me when you need to. Don’t let me tell you not to.

Let wave break on me. Let wind blow me down. Let bird sing song. Bring tear to eye.

 

Early and cool. Late and hot. Sometimes it’s so late it gets cool again.

Sometimes you wake up and you don’t know where you are. Sometimes you know exactly what to do.

 

Sometimes I don’t ask for anything. Sometimes I ask for everything. Sometimes it all just happens.

So leave me where you find me. Sometimes it feels like losing. Leave me where you find me. Let it all happen to me.

I am no longer and what I will be tomorrow I do not know

I AM NO LONGER AND WHAT I WILL BE TOMORROW I DO NOT KNOW (E A D G B E, capo 2)

I am no longer and what I will be tomorrow I do not know.

It is the same with me as it is with you.

So let’s return. Why not? Let’s go where you’ve always wanted to.

Like a slug in the bath on a rainy night. Where did he come from? Where will he go?

Like ducks on the water. Like cockatoos in the trees. The wind blows but our hearts are still.

I am no longer and what I will be tomorrow I do not know.

Somewhere I'm supposed to be

SOMEWHERE I’M SUPPOSED TO BE (E A D G B E)

 Tonight it feels like everyone is singing at me.

Tonight it feels like there’s somewhere I’m supposed to be.

 

Tonight it feels like I’m only getting further away.

Tonight it feels like everything’s a little bit strange

The record only wants to play. It’s always got the same thing to say.

 

And everyone keeps singing at me. Do they know what I really need?

 

Hold on to what was only every going to be yours.

Let go of what’s not contributing anything to your cause.

Don’t wait for anybody’s applause.

They only do it out of obligation anyway.

 

I am and you are, don’t you know? Don’t it show. Oh, I don’t know.

It is, it isn’t, isn’t it? Is this not how you thought things would go down?

 

Tonight it feels like everyone is singing at me.

And tonight it feels like there’s somewhere I’m supposed to be.

Somewhere I’m supposed to be.

Somewhere I’m supposed to be. Somewhere I’m supposed to be. I don’t ever want to leave.

It’s somewhere I’m supposed to be.

Now I'm falling down

NOW I’M FALLING DOWN (E A D G B E)

 Under pine trees, watch the bluebirds. They’re singing songs you’ve heard before. The dark blue sky is slowing lifting. It shows a path you know.

Through the grass you’re slowly walking. Your heart beats strong with every step. The hairs on your arms softly blowing as the breeze kisses your neck.

I waited so long I forgot how to watch the stars come out. I got so stuck I thought I was alright but now I’m falling down. Now I’m falling down.

 

Underwater everything hears you. You break the surface and laugh out loud. Your shoulders glimmer in the moonlight. The rocks are wet and cool.

Lying on the grass you count the stars as they spin round your head. In the distance you hear thunder as a bright light fills the sky.

I felt so sure I’m sure now I was only spinning round. I climbed a mountain, forgot how I found it, and now I’m falling down. Now I’m falling down. Now I’m falling down.

 

Now I’m falling down.

Freedom put a cage round my heart

FREEDOM PUT A CAGE ROUND MY HEART (E A D F C D, capo 2)

Freedom put a cage round my heart. Put a big old fence round my backyard. Put a floodlight in the pitch-black dark. Freedom put a cage round my heart.

 

Freedom put a hole in the sky. Put a chain and a lock round my pushbike. Put a hospital in the middle of a drone strike. Freedom put a hole in the sky.

 

As tears run like rivers down your cheek. The world keeps turning under your feet.

All the food’s gone bad that you wanted to eat. The air is polluted and the water ain’t clean.

 

Freedom put a cage round my heart. Put a big old fence round my backyard. Put a floodlight in the pitch black dark. Freedom put a cage round my heart.

Freedom put a cage round my heart.

Freedom put a cage round my heart.

Freedom put a cage round my heart.

Freedom put my heart in a cage

FREEDOM PUT MY HEART IN A CAGE (E A D F C D)

I know it is not real because they talk about it all the time.

And really would you want to stay when that’s all they’ve got to say? Maybe we should take a walk and listen to the magpies talk. It might make a little more sense.

 

A baby bird flew through my window and perched atop my teacup and started drinking up all my worries.

And my eyes started to glow. She sang me a song real slow. The wind turned and blew down the street. We spread our wings and flew east. And I smelt the flowers in bloom. Jasmine in the air like balloons. The world turning under our feet. Rivers run like tears down your cheek.

 

He said: Why aren’t your songs any longer?

I said: They would be if I knew what to say.

I asked him: Where did you go? Why’d you leave me all alone?

He said: You know I wanted to stay but something strong was pulling me away.

Freedom put my heart in a cage.

Freedom put my heart in a cage.
