Let alone if the people I trust will stay

So what I'm needing while I'm breathing

Is to be content this evening
         Am        C5           G5
And find hope in tomorrow either way
 
 
[Verse]
 
             F                           G
And I don't think those city girls are right for me
               Am        C5           G5
'Cause I don't fall for shallow pleasantries
            F
And the conversation's nice,
             G
But all the talking don't seem right
     Am                 C5              G5
To a soul that prefers silence and the trees
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
          F                                 G
And this world's expecting so much from the man
    Am                   C5            G5
Who gets so wrecked on Saturdays, that he can barely stand
      F                                     G
So if you could cut some slack, I got some good times on my lap
        Am                C5              G5
And I'd like to feel them all while I still can
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             Am          G         C             F
'Cause I got hope in tomorrow and regret in yesterday
      Am               G         C       F
so if you could find a way to forgive me
      Am            G            C             F
Then maybe I could find just a little peace of mind
    Am        G          C       F
And carry on tomorrow hopefully
    Am        G          C       F
And carry on tomorrow hopefully
 
 
F   G   Am  C5  G5
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
          F                                 G
And this world's expecting so much from the man
    Am                   C5            G5
Who gets so wrecked on Saturdays, that he can barely stand
        F                                   G
And I swear to ride this bronco until the wheels in my heart don't go
               Am          C5          G5
It's not your fault if they don't understand
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             Am          G         C             F
'Cause I got hope in tomorrow and regret in yesterday
      Am               G         C       F
so if you could find a way to forgive me
      Am            G            C             F
Then maybe I could find just a little peace of mind
    Am        G          C       F
And carry on tomorrow hopefully
    Am        G          C       F
And carry on tomorrow hopefully
 
 
[Bridge]
 
       F                              G
And I went and talked to DeAnn at the bay
  Am                 C5            G5
She told me that everything just might be okay
               F
I know you're jaded and you're faded 
             G
And you're pissed off at the world
            Am           C5           G5
But you can only be the man you are today
 
 
[Chorus]
 
             Am          G         C             F
'Cause I got hope in tomorrow and regret in yesterday
      Am               G         C       F
so if you could find a way to forgive me
      Am            G            C             F
Then maybe I could find just a piece of peace of mind
    Am        G          C       F
And carry on tomorrow hopefully
    Am        G          C       F
And carry on tomorrow hopefully
