F Fb To put my feet out in the world --- Dm Bb Caught some grief from a falling leaf F C As she tumbled down to the dirty ground Dm Bb A Said I should have put her back there if I could Dm Bb But everyone needs a better day F C And I'm trying to find me a better way Dm Bb A To get from the things I do to the things I should --- CHORUS: Bb Am Dm-C-Am-G All my friends and lovers leave me alone Bb F A To try to have a little fun Bb Am Dm-C-Am-G One way or another I just wish I had known Bb F Fb To go out walking in the sun Bb F Bb And find out if you were the one...
