[Intro 1]
[G][Em]
[G][Em]

[Verse 1]
[G]I could shed my
skin and in the blink of an eye,
I could [Em]fly, fly, fly.
[G]Tie my dreams up in a sack and lay
my head down on the track,
And [Em]die, die, die.
[C]My life's been so sweet
I just can[G]'t stand it.
I [Bm]must ad[B]mit I've made
out like a [D]bandit.

[Verse 2]
[G]Last night's conversation with
a real good friend of mine,
Drinkin' [Em]wine, wine, wine.
Said [G]fifty years of livin' and your
worst mistakes forgiven,
Just take [Em]time, time, time.
[C]One man's lust for life brings
[G]world reknown,
[Bm]And the next guy can't get
two feet off the [D]ground.
[G]He's Earth[Em]bound.

[Verse 3]
Earthbound; hear the wind through the tops
of the [G]trees.
Earthbound; summer sun nearly ninety
[D]degrees.[Em]
Earthbound; big 'ol moon sinkin' down,
think I might stick [D]around.

[Interlude 1]
I'm Earthbound.
[G]

[Verse 4]
[G]I knew love once way back when--she
had had almond eyes and olive skin,
And [Em]long black hair.
She was [G]Irish-Spanish mix-breed,
I I I was southeast Texas hayseed,
We were [Em]almost there.
[Bm]Her [C]daddy did not like my kind a[G]round.
The [Bm]true love took the next
train out of [D]town.
Earth[Bm]bound.

[Verse 5]
[G]Earthbound; [Em]where there's fathers and
daughters in [G]pain.
Earthbound; mama's boy walkin'
home in the [Em]rain.
Earthbound; like a ship run aground,
think I might stick [D]around.

[Interlude 2]
I'm Earthbound.
[G][Em]
[G][Em][D][C]

[Verse 6]
With [G]each new day that passes
I'm in need of thicker glasses,
But it's [Em]all okay.
[G]Some day I'll be leavin',
but I just can't help believin'
That it's [Em]not today. ([C]hey)
Every golden moment I have [G]found I've [Bm]done my
best to run right in [D]the ground.

[Verse 7]
Earthbound.
[G]Earthbound; [Em]see the sky
big and beautiful [D]blue.
[G]Earthbound; fallen angels come
calling for [D]you.[Em]
Earthbound; keepin' close to the ground,
think I might stick [D]around.[Em]
Earthbound; Tom Waits, Aretha Franklin,
Mary [G]Karr
[Em]Earthbound; Walter [G]Cronkite, Seamus Heaney, Ringo
[Em]Starr
Earthbound; the Dalai Lama and Charlie
Brown make me wanna stick [D]around.

[Outro 1]
I'm Earthbound.
[G][Em]
