Am Em Am Em Am Em Am Em
Am Em Am Em Am Em Am Em

[Verse]
Em    Am          Em  Am
I was carving my name out
Em   Am            Em
Of a giant sequoia tree
Am   Em            Am
I was blind to its beauty
Em       F
Now it's all I can see

[Verse]
F                Em     Am
See I've learned how to listen
Am     Em       Am
To the folks on TV
Am       B7
They are passing a message
B          Am
That means nothing to me

[Verse]
Am        Em       Am
My vertebrate evolution
Am
Easy as ABC
Am                  F
Baby steps from the ocean
F       Am            D
Feather trails to the sea

[Chorus]
Dbm            D
Paddlefish to salamander
Dbm         D
Honeybee to atrophy
Em          Am
I guess I'm losing my trail here
Em           Am
But it takes loss to be free

[Instrumental]
Am Em Am Em Am Em Am Em

[Verse]
Am              Em
Now I work in a nightclub
Em     Bm   B
At the Burj Khalifa
Am      Em           Am
And I'm blind to its beauty
Am      Em           Am
But it ain't all that I have

[Verse]
Am
So I'm passing a message
Am
Like the folks on TV
Am        Em                 Am
Guess I'm getting the words out
Am       Em              Am
But they don't come from me

[Outro]
Dbm            D
Paddlefish to salamander
Dbm            D
Little girl to atrophy
Em            Am
I guess we're losing our trail here
Am
But it takes loss to be free
