A Why Can't we speak another language C#m one we all agree on A why when men look outside do they see houses C#m instead of fields they grew from A we are constantly uprooted from them C#m making us tiresome and fearful A can you get up right now C#m and endeavor freefall A Caus'you can fall if you want to it's just a matter of how far C#m you've treasured your home town you've forgotten where you are A and it will stay with you til' your mind's been found C#m and it has been found wondering around. Chorus: E Without a skipping rope A trampoline G#m A Crafty smoke C#m they've made a simpler way to give up E it's the simple ways of getting payed G#m the carelessness of lying awake C#m oh i wish I stayed A I wish I stayed C#m I wish I stayed Patterns all arranged in my background These pillars and forks keeping this country on form Letters were all sent with no addresses, so that people can't discover We're always undercover Why do I always draw triangles instead of the words this paper so deserves? Cause you see, I don't own my clothes but I own my mind And it's not what you've lost But it's what you find Chorus: With that skipping rope, the trampoline The crafty smoke that made us choke But we didn't give up hope It's the simple ways of getting paid The carelessness of running away, no, I wish I stayed I wish I stayed I wish I stayed Cause you can fall if you want to It's just a matter of how far You've treasured your hometown You've forgotten where you are And it will stay with you until your mind's been found And it has been found wandering around Chorus: With that skipping rope, the trampoline The crafty smoke that made us choke But we didn't give up hope It's the simple ways of getting paid The carelessness of running away, I wish I stayed I wish I stayed I wish I stayed I wish I stayed | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA C#m E G#m Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
