When the countryside was a gift

By the thumb of God

G          D                  C          D 
These city streets of endless failures

The same with endless victory 
G         D            C             G

Asking my same old questions 
C        D               G 
Learning I don’t need to know

Your skin was like the softest ocean

Waves of gentle lace and rhythm

I left so many times when I should have stayed there swimming

Felt like a thief when I was with you 
C           D                 G         D 
Felt like a beggar when I was not

Feel like a beggar when I am not
