"Open Ended Life" 

No Capo 

For C hammer on d and b strings; listen to song to find the rhythm for riff 

Intro: 

G, C, G, C 

G                              C                               G          C 
Pack a change of clothes and a pillow for the road for when we drift off 
G                                   C                              G    C 
Put the sketches and the notes in a box labeled "burn with furniture" 
        Am                                D                         G     C G  
We will watch the fire burn the whole entire house we built down to ashes 
         Am                          D 
From the mirror we'll admire how the flame quickly retires 
         Am                            D 
we won't waste no long goodbyes on the smoke or foolish lies 
             G           C     G 
that finally passed us 


      Am                           D                             G 
I was taught to keep an open ended life and never trap myself in nothin 


G                                 C 
Let's find something new to talk about 
                            G    C 
I'm tired talkin' 'bout myself 
G                                   C 
I spent my whole life talking to convince everyone 
                      G     C 
that I was something else 
       Am 
And the part that kinda hurts 
        D 
is I think it finally worked 
            G         C        G 
and now I'm leaving 
          Am 
I get the feeling things have changed 
        D 
but the mystery to me 
            Am 
is where and when along the way 
       D                    G           C 
did anyone decide that they believed me 

      Am                              D 
I was taught to keep an open-ended life 
                       G          C 
and never trap myself in nothin' 
      Am                           D 
I was told to keep an open-ended life 
                          G 
to never trap yourself in nothin'

Over riff: C, G, C, G x2 G C When we settle down in another nowhere town G C let's tell our neighbors G We won't be here long C G C and we'll be quiet but don't go asking any favors Am D G C G I can't stand the unexpected, uninvited visits from too many strangers Am My trust has dwindled down D G C and I can leave just as abruptly as I came here. Am D I was taught to keep an open-ended life G C G and never trap myself in nothin' Am D I was told to keep an open-ended life G C G to never trap yourself in nothin' Am D I was taught to keep an open-ended life G and never trap myself in nothin' G, C, G x2 Am, D x3 Riff End on G, C
