[verse 1] C2(bass-C,B,A,G), D9/F#, C2(half-speed-bass-C,AhB,D), G
As I survey the ground for ants
Looking for a place to sit and read
I'm reminded of the streets of my hometown
How they're much like this concrete, that's warm beneath my feet
[verse 2]
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
[verse 3]
Hometown weather is on TV
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
[bridge A]
But if I must go
Things I trust will be better off without me
But I don't want to know
Life is better off a mystery
[chorus] G, C2, D7sus4, G, G, C2, D7sus4, Em, G, C2, D7sus4, G, G, C2, D7sus4, (G)
So keep 'em coming, these lines on the road
And keep me responsible, be it a light or heavy load
And keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes.
[verse 4]
Even from Chico to Charlottesville
I'm always well provided for
But left with longing just enough
To remind me of the day before
[verse 5]
And to visit places from my past
But only for an hour or so
Which is long enough to smell the air
To tell the tale and find the door
[bridge A]
But I get turned around
I mistake some happiness for blessing
But I'm blessed as the poor
Still I judge success by how I'm dressing
[chorus]
[bridge B] Fmaj7,9, C2, G, G, Fmaj7,9, C2, G, D/A, sD (s=slide)
[verse 6]
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
[chorus]
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes.
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes.
