Kicking Up The Dust

Am Em

[Verse 1]

Am                         Em
 Asked the doctor what was wrong with me
          Am                          Em
He said, "Son, the world don't give a shit
Am                               Em
 You'd better learn to live your life carefree
Am                     Em
 Or learn to deal with it"
Am                           Em
 So I sold my dreams just to pay the rent
Am                            Em
Borrowed from my folks and my friends
Am                            Em
 I meant to pay them back but boy I'm spent
Am                           Em
 With just this guitar in my hand

[Chorus]

Dm
Take a breath and sigh
Am
 Tears will fill your eyes
C                             G
Sailing on the endless sea of time
Dm
Take a look outside
Am
 Show me what you find
C                              G
Kicking up the endless dust in time

[Verse 2]

Am                       Em
Remember what the First Amendment said

Am                              Em
 Why don't you give it one more try
Am                         Em
So I wrote a letter to the president
Am                 Em
 Still waiting his reply
Am                             Em
 So I wrote my message out for all to see
Am                   Em
 In letters six foot tall
Am                            Em
 And now I think the feds are on to me
Am                           Em
 'Cause the writing's on the wall
Em
Say the writing's on the wall

[Chorus]

Dm
Take a breath and sigh
Am
 Tears will fill your eyes
C                             G
Sailing on the endless sea of time
Dm
Take a look outside
Am
 Show me what you find
C                              G
Kicking up the endless dust in time

[Bridge]

Dm             C
Today is just another day
      Am                    G
Could be the last day of my life
  Dm               Am               G
A grain of sand is blown across the shore

[Interlude]

Dm                             Am
Blowing off the endless sea of time
Am
Nothing's forever

C                              G
Picking on the endless dust in time
G
Never knowing if whether
Dm                             Am
Blowing off the endless sea of time
Am
If we'll be together
C                               G
Blowing off the endless dust in time
G
I love you forever

[Outro]

Dm             C
Today is just another day
      Am                    G
Could be the last day of my life
  Dm               Am               G
A grain of sand is blown across the shore
Dm             C
Today is just another day
      Am                    G
Could be the last day of my life
  Dm               Am               G
A grain of sand is blown across the shore
