[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F][C][Am][F][Am][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[F]Gonna
lay down [C]in the grass and
[Am]Watch that acorn [F]split in two
[Am]Slow[F]ly take root[C]
While [F]the clock upon the [C]wall
makes [Am]idle [C]boasts
And [F]the mind's out cruis
[Am]ing [F]silent coast[C]s
Though the [F]ghosts of better days
[C]might twi[Am]st my eye[C]s
Gonna [F]stand my ground
[Am]Watch that[F] sapling rise[C]
Just as [F]long as I've [C]the strength
Well, I'll [Am]raise that [C]flag
Like [F]a wisp of [Am]cloud from
[F]a mountain crag
[C]Now, this is awkward
[Em]I ke[C]pt it bottled[Am]
up too [G]long[Em][C]
Years like [F]tiny drops of rain
[C]on a gla[Am]ssy lak[C]e
Leaving [F]nought but [Am]circles
[F]in their wak[C]e
Though we [F]barely comprehend
[C]what the[Am] question is[C]
Only [F]know for cer[Am]tain,
[F]the answer's [C]yes
Now this is awkward
[Em]Really don't know where to begin[C]
I kept it [Am]bottled up [C]too [Em]long
(I know that feeling [C]too, yeah)
Don't ask me [Am]where
the time has [Em]gone
(I know that feeling [C]too, yeah)
Days I can't [Am]tell no right
[G]from [Em]wrong
(I know that feeling [G]too, [C]yeah)
I kept it [Am]bottled up [G]too [Em]long
(Know that feeling, know [C]that feeling)
Tell me about it, tell [Am]me about it,
tell me about [Em]it
(Like sunlight [G]break[Em]ing through,
[G]yea[C]h)
Tell me about it, tell [Am]me about it,
tell me about [Em]it[C][Em]
(I know [G]that feeling too)
Gon[C]na [F]lay down in the [C]grass and
[Am]Watch that [C]acorn [F]split in [Am]two
[F]Slowly [C]take root
(Take root)
