Earthbound

  G                            
I could shed my skin and in the 
                          Em
blink of an eye, I could fly, fly, 
fly
G                                 
Tie my dreams up in a sack and lay
                               Em
 my head down on the track and die, 
die, die
C                              G
My life's been so sweet I just can't
 stand it
  Bm                               
I must admit, I've made out like a 
D      Dsus4
bandit

[Verse 2]
     G                          
Last night's conversation with a 
real good friend of mine, drinkin' 
 Em
wine, wine, wine
       G                        
Said, "Fifty years of livin' and 
your worst mistake's forgiven, just 
 Em
take time, time, time"
C                                 
One man's lust for life brings 
     G
world reknown
        Bm                         
And the next guy can't get two feet
         D                 G
 off the ground, he's earthbound

[Chorus 1]
      Em
(Earthbound) Hear the wind throught 
the tops of the trees
      G
(Earthbound) Summer sun nearly 
ninety degrees
      Em                         
(Earthbound) Big ol' moon sinkin' 
                            D     
down, think I might stick around
Dsus4  D  Dsus4

         G
I'm earthbound

  G                                
I knew love once way back when, she
 had almond eyes and olive skin and 
Em
long black hair
        G                        
She was Irish Spanish mixbreed, I 
was southeast Texas hayseed, we were
  Em
 almost there
    C                         
Her daddy did not like my kind 
  G
around
    Bm                           
And true love took the next train 
        D          G
out of town, earthbound

[Chorus 2]
      Em
(Earthbound) Where there's fathers 
and daughters in pain
      G
(Earthbound) Mama's boy walking home
 in the rain
      Em                           
(Earthbound) Like a ship run 
                       D     Dsus4
aground think I might stick around
  D  Dsus4

         G
I'm earthbound

     G                             
With each new day that passes, I'm 
in need of thicker glasses, but it's
 Em
 all okay
    G                              
Someday I'll be leavin' but I just 
                          Em
can't help believin' that it's not 
today, hey
C                          G
Every golden moment I have found
     Bm                          
I've done my best to run right in 
     D            G
the ground, earthbound

[Chorus 3]
      Em
(Earthbound) See the sky big and 
beautiful blue
      G
(Earthbound) Fallen angels come 
callin' for you
      Em                         
(Earthbound) Keepin' close to the 
                              D    
ground, think I might stick around
