[Verse 1]
        G       Bm      C               G
I came along to find a little peace of mind
G               Bm              C                       G
neglectin' all my duties, steppin' off that straightened lin
            G           Bm                      Em         Am
now I just sit by my front door filled with indolence and sound
                G               D               G
it's like I'm watchin' the weeds grow on my brow


[Verse 2]
                G       Bm      C               G
and I had a pure potential in a soiled white shirt
        G               Bm              C               G
with love enough to kill me, but was unsure of its worth
                G       Bm                      Em      Am
and though the night is sweetened by some rising of the moon
                G               D               G
I've lived enough to know the battle's never through


[Chorus]
        C               G       D       G
you pass something down, no matter where or how
                C       G               D               D
will there be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows
        C               G               Em              Am
there's a crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue
                G               D               G
will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done


[Interlude]
G Bm C D x2


[Verse 3]
                G               Bm              C               G
remember you traveled through the desert, you traveled to the sea
        G               Bm              C       G
lookin' out on some horizon, asking what you mean to me
           G    Bm              Em         Am
and we all hang around with a free or toiled mind
        G       D       G
while all of our branches entwine


[Verse 4]
        G       Bm      C               G
and as I watch the brick erode from day to day
        G               Bm              C               G
the leaves change their colors and the loft fills with hay
   G            Bm              Em         Am
as a blade of sunshine cuts across my chest
        G       D               G
the blood beneath boils with unrest


[Chorus]
        C               G       D       G
you pass something down, no matter where or how
                C       G               D               D
will there be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows
        C               G               Em              Am
there's a crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue
                G               D               G
will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done


[Interlude]
G Bm C D x3
G Bm C Am


[Bridge]
        C       G               D               G
blown about by the wind, a worthless little thing
        C                       G       D
but the world can feel the changes of a butterfly's wing
        C               G               Em              Am
and that crooked burning cigarette rollin' on your tongue
                G               D               G
will leave its weeds before your flowers yet have sprung
