Standard (EADGBE)

x2

Well if I knew then what I know now,

 Things would be different

What can I say? It happens like this

 Most of the time for me

If I could be sure things would go well

 Just like the people in movies,

Well, I would go home, and I would wash up

 And I would come over to your house.

Chorus

But most of the time, I'm walking with cement shoes

 Dragging my troubles behind

 And most of the time, you're walking too close to me, yeah

 And most of the time, I'm counting the rest of this year

There's nowhere to go, so why can't I get there from here?

There's nothing to say, there's nothing to win,

 It's just the way it is.

I'd like to be brave, I'd like to make up,

 I just can't do it again.

If I could be sure that we would have trust,

 Just like two people in Kansas

Then I would go home, and I would wash up

 And I would come over to your house.

Chorus

But most of the time, I'm walking with cement shoes

 Dragging my troubles behind

 And most of the time, you're walking right next to me, yeah

 And most of the time, I'm counting the rest of this year

There's nowhere to go, so why can't I get there from here?

Why can't I get there from here?

What can I say, it happens like this,

 Most of the time for me

Chorus

And most of the time, I'm walking with cement shoes

 Dragging my troubles behind

 And most of the time, I'm counting the rest of this year.

There's nowhere to go, so why can't I get there from here?

Why can't I get there from here?

Why can't I get there from here?
