G
[Verse 1]
Water lapping 'round my knees
Golden sand beneath my feet
C G
Would mean a lot to me
There's very little you can say
To make those feelings go away
C
'Til you take me
[Chorus 1]
Em D
There's nothing more that I prefer
G C
To see the boys and the girls
Em D
Step it out with grace and pride
G C G
As honesty flows by their side
[Verse 2]
I cannot run from times hard pressed
To become embittered, dispossessed
C G
Just like some do
And maybe some place I can find
Where wheel and heart become entwined
C
Like I hope to
[Chorus 2]
Em D
And nothing matters more to you
G C
To sit and sing a song that's true
Em D
The first one there and last to leave
G C
Sweet memories for you to keep
[Instrumental]
Em D G C Em D G C G
[Bridge]
No easy lesson for me to learn
C G
Just close those eyes of mock concern
And halt your rush to be sincere
There's more in life for you to fear
[Chorus 1]
Em D
There's nothing more that I prefer
G C
To see the boys and the girls
Em D
Step it out with grace and pride
G B7
As honesty flows by their side
[Chorus 2]
Em D
And nothing matters more to you
G C
To sit and sing a song that's true
Em D
The first one there and last to leave
G C
Sweet memories for you to keep
