Text File
this is a version of the song that Ben played at one of his recent acoustic shows.
intro: Em C G D
Em
Hey Jack it's me,
C G D
I don't mean to bother you but somethings been on my mind.
Em C G
At the end of this road that climbs the horizon will be reached in a matter
D
of miles.
Em C G
And when the wheels cease to spin the walls and the fences will grow higher
D
than redwood trees.
E
And I know your demise.
C G D
And I fear what will happen when the road fails to flow under me.
Em
To flow under me
(repeat intro) Em C G D
Em C G
Oh Jack you see, I felt like your mirror with the wind whipping through my
D
hair.
Em C G
When the wheels ceased to spin and I cased my surroundings, I realized I
D
hadn't gone anywhere.
Em C G
When the problems I'd left with couches in alleys, where no one would ever
D
claim.
Em C G
And the hardest part was sifting through the pieces of the rain soaked and
D Em
rotten remains when I got home.
Em C G D
Em
Hey Jack its me
C G D
I dont mean to bother you but somethings been on my mind (x3)
Em C G D
end on Em
