Gm A# F With progress comes problems Gm With wisdom comes age A# F With lessons come learning Gm And pleasure comes with pain A# F You can only have the sunshine Gm after the rain Gm I took a walk A# It got me thinking F Left foot, right foot Smiling, blinking Gm A# Breathe out, breathe in F Somehow linking Gm A# My soul to my mind and my heart to my mouth F Lost and the found and the north to the south Gm A# F And the corners to the circle in my mind Chorus: Gm A# Dm We may find that the gate has been locked Gm A# Dm When we come back down to what we really are Gm A# Dm Retrace the footprints off the path that is lost G# A# F Is like trying to find a needle in the dark My hands they are empty But they are clean I'm poor but I'm healthy I'm halfway between The gutter and the skyline So I took a walk to the land's end Thinking ‘bout an ex-girlfriend that I had And the pages that I've turned And it seems to me That we all love the chase But once we're caught we feel encased Behind bars of love and trust Uprooted by drunken lust By people, people just like us People, people just like us Chorus So I took a walk to the station Lost in my imagination Having private conversations with myself And I'm just stumbling ‘round And I wait for the sound Of this crumbling town to come tumbling down People say I'm just bummin' around But I've had both my ears to the ground Gm A# Dm To the ground Gm A# Dm To the ground | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsA# Dm F Gm G# Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
