Lyrics
Capo 4
[G6sus2-A7sus4-Em7/B-Dsus2/A]
this place is a tree
a great big branching history
and i am merely a leaf
newly sprouted and barely hanging on
i wanted to be
able to hold the entire world
all inside of me
as we went about the days of our lives
i was just twenty-three
when i set out on this great journey
i look back to thirty
and i just long for what i left behind
[Dsus4-Esus4/B-Dsus2-G]
they tell me here that my life's a great big circle
but looking into my past it seems lost forever
they say the problem's desire, but i can never dispose of that
it's what propels me higher, but i've torn myself down
[C(just root and 3rd)-A5-G5-G(just root and 3rd)]
dukkha
letters home go unanswered i can see now that i've missed my chance to turn around
it's true that suffering exists in my life but i always had the right view and i still do now
