Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

I'm not leaving, I ain't going...

you never asked me to!

So I'll sit and smile here with you,

like I never thought Id do.

Wash the walls and paint the windows,

polish face and shave the shoe.

I got gal and I got friends,

like I never thought I'd do.

I never thought the sun would rise

in the east and set in west;

I figured I owned just dark skies

and that darkness ft me best.

Here I is, all thin and balled-up,

wrapped up in a coat of you.

I ain't hemmed-in, I ain't walled-up;

I am free and I'm loving you.

I can snooze and I can amble.

I can jump when you say "boo."

Freedom is a hard-won gamble;

so is holding things like you.

My chest swells and my nose snores;

it's all okay by you.

I've never felt this welcome before...

I'd a never thunk, would you?

Serves one right. No need to think.

It will all be laid before us,

and god will guide us to our graves,

smiling, singing:

Go folks! Go forth! Go folks! Trust your brain! Trust your body!
