[Intro]
G Em x2
[Verse 1]
G Em
I could shed my skin and in the blink of an eye, I could fly, fly, fly
G Em
Tie my dreams up in a sack and lay my head down on the track and die, die, die
C G
My life's been so sweet I just can't stand it
Bm D Dsus4
I must admit, I've made out like a bandit
[Verse 2]
G Em
Last night's conversation with a real good friend of mine, drinkin' wine, wine, wine
G Em
Said, "Fifty years of livin' and your worst mistake's forgiven, just take time, time, time"
C G
One man's lust for life brings world reknown
Bm D G
And the next guy can't get two feet off the ground, he's earthbound
[Chorus 1]
Em
(Earthbound) Hear the wind throught the tops of the trees
G
(Earthbound) Summer sun nearly ninety degrees
Em D Dsus4 D Dsus4
(Earthbound) Big ol' moon sinkin' down, think I might stick around
G
I'm earthbound
[Verse 3]
G Em
I knew love once way back when, she had almond eyes and olive skin and long black hair
G Em
She was Irish Spanish mixbreed, I was southeast Texas hayseed, we were almost there
C G
Her daddy did not like my kind around
Bm D G
And true love took the next train out of town, earthbound
[Chorus 2]
Em
(Earthbound) Where there's fathers and daughters in pain
G
(Earthbound) Mama's boy walking home in the rain
Em D Dsus4 D Dsus4
(Earthbound) Like a ship run aground think I might stick around
G
I'm earthbound
[Insrumental]
G Em G Em D* Cadd9
[Verse 4]
G Em
With each new day that passes, I'm in need of thicker glasses, but it's all okay
G Em
Someday I'll be leavin' but I just can't help believin' that it's not today, hey
C G
Every golden moment I have found
Bm D G
I've done my best to run right in the ground, earthbound
[Chorus 3]
Em
(Earthbound) See the sky big and beautiful blue
G
(Earthbound) Fallen angels come callin' for you
Em D Dsus4 D Dsus4
(Earthbound) Keepin' close to the ground, think I might stick around
Em
(Earthbound) Tom Waits, Aretha Franklin, Mary Karr
G
(Earthbound) Walter Kronkite, Seamus Heaney, Ringo Starr
Em D Dsus4 D Dsus4
(Earthbound) The Dalai Lama, Charlie Brown make me wanna stick around
G
I'm earthbound
