Capo 6th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Intro

Verse

 Well we air clear blue aching skies in the morning after,

 and memories of gold on the run, flying around,

 was there a drunken cloud over someone just empty,

 a vision of a mountain you say, so where did it go?

Bridge

 It was light and i held it like a child to be saved

 from the fires and from the falling down satellites

 but still wondering

Chorus

 "Damn you always treat me like a stranger, mountain

though you've seen the shadow between the city and what is mine,

 and fallen kids all rising men among their logs, but leavers,

suddenly darker in their eyes and their broken smiles,

it's only what these kids will haul around."

Verse

 Well there's a lot of sullen land for hungry feed of answers,

 and medicine for balancing things, like seeing your ghosts,

 So thank god we're bright, said the lanterns brother,

 cause I don't know a thing about boats or the land I see

Bridge

It was day and I stood there once again climbing quick

when I knew you were the one throwing dying stars on our gathering

but he said

Chorus

"Damn you always treat me like a mountain, stranger

though I have never seen your shadows or fading lights,

 I'm just a rock that you'll be picking up through all your ages,

always believing there's a canyon for every blind,

it's only what these kids will haul around."

till you get bored
