Em7 Em9 Am7 G/B C2
C2 G/B Am7 C/G D2/F#
As I survey the ground for ants
C2 G/B D7sus4 G C/G
Looking for a place to sit and read
C2 G/B Am7 C/G D2/F#
I'm reminded of the streets of my hometown
C2 G/B D7sus4 G C/G
How they're much like this concrete that's warm beneath my feet
And how I'm all wrapped up in my mother's face
With a touch of my father just up around the eyes
And the sound of my brother's laugh
But more wrapped up in what binds our ever distant lives
G Gmaj7 C2
But if I must go
Em7 Em9 Am7 G/B C2
Things I trust will be better off without me
G Gmaj7 C2
But I don't want to know
Em7 Em9 Am7 G/B C2
Life is better off a mystery
C2 D7sus4 G C/G G
So keep 'em coming these lines on the road
C2 D7sus4 Em G
And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load
C2 D7sus4 G C/G G
And keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
C2 D7sus4 G C/G
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes
Hometown weather is on TV
And I imagine the lives of the people living there
And I'm curious if they imagine me
Cause they just wanna leave; I wish that I could stay
But I get turned around
And I mistake my happiness for blessing
But I'm blessed as the poor
Still I judge success by how I'm dressing
C2 D7sus4 G C/G G
So keep 'em coming these lines on the road
C2 D7sus4 Em G
And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load
C2 D7sus4 G C/G G
And keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
C2 D7sus4 F2 C2 G C/G G
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes
F2 C2 D
La-la-la's
So I'll sing a song of my hometown
I'll breathe the air and walk the streets
Maybe find a place to sit and read
And the ants are welcome company
Repeat Chorus
C2 D7sus4 G C/G G
I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes.
C2 D7sus4 F2 C2 G C/G G
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes...
