Tift Merritt - Engine To Turn
CAPO: 1st Fret
INTRO: C F Am F
C F
I don't know how to fix the world
Am F
I don't know how to fix myself
C F
Seems like we both need some love
Am F
seems like we both need some help
C F
Maybe you could fix with might
Am F
Maybe you could just stare it down
C F
Seems like some tenderness
Am F
Could turn the whole thing around
CHORUS:
C Am
I'm just trying to get the engine to turn
C Am
I'm just trying to smile through my tears
C Am
And I still got so much to learn
C Am
But the best I can, is what I got to give
F C
Gonna give it while I'm here
F
Most days I want to speed up
Am F
Seems like I ought to slow down
C F
Maybe the pieces are here
Am F
Got to take a good look around
C F
Maybe the world feels like me
Am F
Wishing someone would sing it a song
C F
About how there's a lot of good here
Am F
About how it's done nothing wrong
CHORUS:
C Am
I'm just trying to get the engine to turn
C Am
I'm just trying to smile through my tears
C Am
And I still got so much to learn
C Am
But the best I can, is what I got to give
F C G
Gonna give it while I'm here
BRIDGE:
Am
Sometimes there's a choir in my head
F C
Singing at the top of their voice
F Am
Singing at the top of their voice
C G F
They sing, "Don't look back"
C G F
"Don't be scared"
C G F Am G
"Don't be scared_____"
CHORUS:
C Am
I'm just trying to get the engine to turn
C Am
I'm just trying to smile through my tears
C Am
And I still got so much to learn
C Am
But the best I can, is what I got to give
F C
Gonna give it while I'm here
