Do you see the way that tree bends
does it inspire,..
leaning out to catch the suns rays
a lesson to be applied
are you getting something out of this
all encompassing trip

You can't spend your time alone,..

F                                         G    D    G    F
redigesting past regretsOh

[verse 2]~
D2, G, F, D, A#, A, G1
Have you ideas on how this life ends,..
Checked your ends and studied the line,..
Have you ever believed that the road ahead
sands off into the light
seems that needlessly it getting harder
to find an approach and no where to live
are we getting something out of this
all encompassing trip
