We've All Got Our Marks to Make By Drew Kennedy Written By Drew Kennedy & Walt Wilkins 6/26/2010 G/C - 320013
G Washington carved his name right here on this rock a couple hundred years ago G/C Dsus2 Things last a whole lot longer than you’d expect, rain from a thousand storms washed across those letters Cadd9 G But they weathered the test of time G Shared a kiss with an old girlfriend on the spot where a founding father stood G/C Dssu2 Lasted for a second then it was gone some things don’t last as long as you wished they would, Together Cadd9 G We both knew that we weren’t meant to last forever CHORUS: C G The wind blows in and the tide rolls out D G Days fly by as this world spins around C G Line by line and age to age Dsus2 G G/c G G/C We’ve all got our marks to make There’s a table in the corner of Archie Blues that you can walk right past and never see Hank Williams carved his name in a fit of rage and whiskey playing one night across the street That one word Hank is Aesop, Jack, and John the Revelator. Chorus And I don’t know what happened to that girlfriend but I bet those letters are still right there And Hank left us with as many songs as he could bear to write before they finished him somewhere And as for me, as for me… Chorus
