Walk Or Ride

Am                 D
With just one kiss you could change the world
   G                 C                                  Am
It might not be much better-- but it certainly couldn't hurt.
Am                       D
When you stomp your feet you aren't hurting me
D          G              C                               Am
But you're always killing something just by living on the Earth...

[Verse 2]
Am                            D              Gm                       C
So who you supposed to listen to when you're looking for something to do?
C   F                      B
And all the voices shut you up
E                           C     Am
Someone put a brick in your coffee cup.
Am                      D              Gm          C
When you're trying to decide whether to walk or to ride
C        F            B                  E
Take the easy way you know that you want to

[Verse 3]
Am                     D
I saw an educated girl give her hair a twirl
D   G               C                              Am
And contemplate the meaning of a man with just one arm.
Am                             D
She's not a genius or a dunce, but it makes no difference
D          G               C                Am
For at any moment we might find ourselves a charm.

[Verse 4]
Am                    D               Gm         C
But I'm feeling quite confused by the people who refuse
C        F             B                   E
To see a simple way of life that don't make you the loser.
Am                        D               Gm               C
They say we won't make it far if we don't drive there in a car
C            F                  B         E                Am D  Gm  C   F  B  E
But we'll be there with time to spare and find our own way ho-oh-oh-ome. Ho-oh-ome.

[Verse 5]
Am                                        D
You might find the meaning of life in the barrel of a rifle
D       G            C                                Am
If it's pointed at a bird, or if it's pointed at your head.
Am                               D
Me, I'd rather plant a tree that grows up tall for all to see.
G              C                                Am
Until I need a pencil, then I'll chop it to the ground

[Verse 6]
Am               D     Gm             C
At night falling down, will it make a sound?
F             B                E
Should I even wonder what it'd say?
Am              D                Gm             C
It's so hard to change yourself, easier to tell someone else
C    F             B        E
That everything is gonna be okay.
Am D  Gm  C   F  B  E
Ooooooooooooooooooooooh...
