Its Hard To Get Around The Wind

Tom: C

C
It's like you're tryin' to get to heaven in a hurry.

and the cue was shorter than you thought it would be
               G7                                                      C
and the doorman says you need to get a wristband

C
you gotta live between the pitfalls

but you're lookin' like you're low on energy
                     G7                                                           C
did you get Adam walk to ensure you miss the quicksand

[Chorus]

F                                            C
lookin' for a new place to begin
G7                                               
feelin' like it's hard to under stand
C                                                    C7
but as long as you still keep pepperin' the pill
F                                                    D7
you'll find a way to spit it out again
C                                 G               Am
and even when you know the way it's gonna blow
F           G                               C
it's hard to get around the wind

[Break]

C    Dm    Em    C     Dm    G     

[Verse 2]

C
stretchin' out the neck on your evenin'

tryin' to even out some deficit
            G7                         G                         C
but its saber toothed, multi ball confusion
C
and you can shreek until you're hollow

or whisper it the other way
               G7                      G                                    C
tryin' to save the youth without puttin' your shoes on

[Chorus]

F                                             C
lookin' for a new place to begin
G7
feelin' like its hard to understand
C                                                 C7
but as long as you still keep pepperin' the pill
F                                                   D7
you'll find a way to spit it out again
C                                 G               Am
and even when you know the way it's gonna blow
F            G                                C   
it's hard to get around the wind.

[Instrumental]

Am   C   Am   Dm  Em   Am   C   F   D7   C   G   Am   F    G  

[Verse 3]

  C
I can hear you through my window

but I'm never quite sure who is who
                G7                      G                 C    
but they want the world on a dessert spoon
C
it always sounds like they're fighting

or as if thats what they're about to do
                G7                    G                                C
it might not hurt now, but it's gonna hurt soon.
