[Verse 1]
      G                                 C         Em
I was standing on the mountain with the sun on my back
        G                             C          Em
And the shadow I was casting made the world seem black
           D                     G             C
And if the shadow of one now can block out the sun
           G                         C              Em
Then you’d better make sure that you cast the right one


[Verse 2]
        G                            C              Em
You can hustle to your left, you can hustle to your right
        G                            C         Em
But you gotta put your back into something sometime
           D                             G         C
And it can send you down the river maybe tear you apart
        G                C         Em
But the only path is the path with heart


[Chorus]
   D                     G           C
So I don’t care what the weather men say
              D                               G           C
You’ve got to parry with the weather till the end of your days here
           D              G         C
And if the only path is a path with heart
     D               G         C
Then I lucked into a good head start
Bm        D
Good head start

[Verse 3]
           G                             C          Em
I felt I’d been down every alley, beaten down every door
             G                                C         Em
Till I could barely account for what I’d been looking toward
         D                       G           C
And then she took a turn into my record store
      G                   C       Em
And I knew I wasn’t gonna look anymore


[Chorus]
   D                     G           C
So I don’t care what the weather men say
              D                               G           C
You’ve got to parry with the weather till the end of your days here
           D              G         C
And if the only path is a path with heart
     D               G         C
Then I lucked into a good head start
Bm        D
Good head start


[Bridge]

And it’s all about the context that you put things in

That you put us in, that we put ourselves in

Nothing hurts like a context

That you don’t want to be in

That’s a cage that I never want to see us all in

[Chorus 2]
   D                     G           C
So I don’t care what the weather men say
              D                               G           C
You’ve got to parry with the weather till the end of your days here
   D                     G           C
No I don’t care what the weather men do
            D                      G           C
Cause I can parry any weather much better with you
           D              G         C
And if the only path is a path with heart
              C
The path with heart


[Outro
     G               C         Em
Then I lucked into a good head start
     G               C         Em
Then I lucked into a good head start
     G               C         Em
Then I lucked into a good head start
     G               C         Em
Then I lucked into a good head start
