[Verse 1]
               A
They tore that motel down
                Bm
Where we use to hang around
                Dm                      A
With all of the fishermen and the petty thieves
                  A
So I slept in the parking lot
                     Bm
I got no money but I feel alright
              Dm                        A
Trying not to take too much more than I need


[Chorus]
                      D
A whole lot of things in this world
       A
Make a whole lot of noise
           E               A
None of it matters much to me
                   D                A
I just get up and start again every morning
           E      Dm               A
Real understanding it's all that I need


[Verse 2]
                A
I'd sure like a creek to swim
                           Bm
With the drip joint up the hill
            Dm                 A
We'll put a blanket out in the sun
                         A
Where the ghosts and the lovers live
             Bm
I get what I got to give
                   Dm                              A
Saying come back tomorrow here if you want to stay home


[Chorus]
                      D
A whole lot of things in this world
       A
Make a whole lot of noise
           E               A
None of it matters much to me
                   D                A
I just get up and start again every morning
           E      Dm               A
Real understanding it's all that I need

[Verse 3]
                         A
It's a thin line between right and wrong
           Bm
Having some and having none
                    Dm                                 A
So many places I've left are gone but I've got to keep going


[Chorus]
                      D
A whole lot of things in this world
       A
Make a whole lot of noise
           E               A
None of it matters much at all
                   D                A
I just get up and start again every morning
           E      Dm               A
Real understanding it's all that I need
           E      Dm              A
Real understanding it's all that I want
