[Verse 1]
  Gm          Cm        Gm          Cm
I held it all together, heavy on my mind
  Gm          Cm             Cm          Gm
I held it all together but I left it all behind
  Gm          Cm         Gm              Cm
I didn't see you coming, coming down the line
  Gm           Cm          Cm               Gm
Traffic in the atmosphere, salt inside your smile


[Pre-Chorus]
  Gm         Cm         Gm                Cm
Lessons I’m unlearning, back and forth in time
  Gm          Cm        Cm         Gm
Coming up all rocky but opening my mind


[Chorus]
Gm                  Eb                 Cm
I have been holding down long as I can remember, you know
    Gm                Eb                     Cm
The only thing I have depended upon has been me (Oh well)
    Gm                      Eb
But I’d like to rest on the shore
Cm
Before I go back and do more
        Gm                   Eb                   Cm     Ab
And I’m taking a plane and a car straight to your door


[Verse 2]
  Gm                  Cm
The sap it runs in springtime
    Gm              Cm
The thaw begins at night
    Gm              Cm
My hips are moving forward
  Cm               Gm
I come from a long line


[Pre-Chorus]
  Gm          Cm
Reckless deep abandon
Gm                Cm
Streets that open wide
  Gm               Cm
I thought I wasn’t ready
      Cm            Gm
I was ready all the time


[Chorus]
Gm                  Eb                 Cm
I have been holding down long as I can remember, you know
    Gm                Eb                     Cm
The only thing I have depended upon has been me (Oh well)
    Gm                      Eb
But I’d like to rest on the shore
Cm
Before I go back and do more
        Gm                   Eb                   Cm     Ab
And I’m taking a plane and a car straight to your door

[Bridge]
 Gm                 Cm
Some folks live for money
 Gm                   Cm
Some folks want their time
Gm             Cm
I just like to spend my days
Cm          Gm
Seeking the divine, the divine, the divine


[Chorus]
Gm                  Eb                 Cm
I have been holding down long as I can remember, you know
    Gm                Eb                     Cm
The only thing I have depended upon has been me (Oh well)
    Gm                     Eb     Cm
But I like to live in your mind, you're the intelligent kind
        Gm                   Eb                   Cm
And I’m taking a plane and a car straight to your door
Gm                  Eb                 Cm
I have been holding down long as I can remember, you know
    Gm                Eb                     Cm
The only thing I have depended upon has been me (Oh well)
    Gm                     Eb     Cm
But I like to live in your mind, you're the intelligent kind
        Gm                   Eb                   Cm
And I’m taking a plane and a car straight to your door
