Young Pilgrims
(Verse)
A F D A
A cold and wet November dawn
A F G A
and there are no barking sparrows
A C E
just emptiness to dwell upon.
A F D A
I fell into a winter slide
A F G A
and ended up the kind of kid who goes down chutes too narrow
A C E
just eking out my measly pies.
(Chorus:)
D A E A
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
D A C E
know there is this side of me that
D A E A
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
D A C E
fly the whole mess into the sea.
(Verses)
A F D A
Another slow train to the coast
A F G A
some brand new gory art from way on high
A C E
I sink and then I swim all night.
A F D A
I watch the ice melt on the glass
A F G A
while the eloquent young pilgrims pass
A C
and leave behind their trail
G E
imploring us not to fail.
D A E A
Of course I raised to gather courage from those
D A C E
lofty tales so tried and true and
D A E A
if you're able I'd suggest it 'cause this
D A C E
modern thought can get the best of you.
F#m A
This rather simple epitaph
D E D E/Esus4
can save your hide your falling mind
F#m A
fate isn't what we're up against
D E D E/Esus4
there's no design no flaws to find
D E D E/Esus4
there's no design no flaws to find.
(Chorus)
D A E A
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
D A C E
know I got this side of me that
D A E A
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
D A C E
fly the whole mess into the sea.
