F#         C#m
I fell in love again
E           B              F#
all things go, all things go
            C#m
drove to Chicago
E            B                F#
all things know, all things know
             C#m             E
we sold our clothes to the state
         B             F#
I don't mind, I don't mind
          C#m       E
I made a lot of mistakes
       B           F#
in my mind, in my mind

Chorus:
F#           C#m
you came to take us
E           B              F#
all things go, all things go
      C#m
to recreate us
E            B               F#
all things grow, all things grow
            C#m
we had our mindset
E            B               F#
all things know, all things know
            C#m
you had to find it
E           B              F#
all things go, all things go

I drove to New York
In a van, with my friend
We slept in parking lots
I don't mind, I don't mind
I was in love with the place
In my mind, in my mind
I made a lot of mistakes
In my mind, in my mind

Chorus

If I was crying
In the van, with my friend
It was for freedom
From myself and from the land
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes

Chorus:
You came to take us
All things go, all things go
To recreate us
All things grow, all things grow
We had our mindset
All things know, all things know
You had to find it
All things go, all things go
You came to take us
All things go, all things go
To recreate us
All things grow, all things grow
We had our mindset
(I made a lot of mistakes)
All things know, all things know
(I made a lot of mistakes)
You had to find it
(I made a lot of mistakes)
All things go, all things go
(I made a lot of mistakes)
