[Intro]
G Bm C D x2
[Verse 1]
G Bm C G
I came along to find a little peace of mind
G Bm C G
neglectin' all my duties, steppin' off that straightened lin
G Bm Em Am
now I just sit by my front door filled with indolence and sound
G D G
it's like I'm watchin' the weeds grow on my brow
[Verse 2]
G Bm C G
and I had a pure potential in a soiled white shirt
G Bm C G
with love enough to kill me, but was unsure of its worth
G Bm Em Am
and though the night is sweetened by some rising of the moon
G D G
I've lived enough to know the battle's never through
[Chorus]
C G D G
you pass something down, no matter where or how
C G D D
will there be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows
C G Em Am
there's a crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue
G D G
will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done
[Interlude]
G Bm C D x2
[Verse 3]
G Bm C G
remember you traveled through the desert, you traveled to the sea
G Bm C G
lookin' out on some horizon, asking what you mean to me
G Bm Em Am
and we all hang around with a free or toiled mind
G D G
while all of our branches entwine
[Verse 4]
G Bm C G
and as I watch the brick erode from day to day
G Bm C G
the leaves change their colors and the loft fills with hay
G Bm Em Am
as a blade of sunshine cuts across my chest
G D G
the blood beneath boils with unrest
[Chorus]
C G D G
you pass something down, no matter where or how
C G D D
will there be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows
C G Em Am
there's a crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue
G D G
will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done
[Interlude]
G Bm C D x3
G Bm C Am
[Bridge]
C G D G
blown about by the wind, a worthless little thing
C G D
but the world can feel the changes of a butterfly's wing
C G Em Am
and that crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue
G D G
will leave its weeds before your flowers yet have sprung
