[Verse 1]
C
So come sit down
         Am           G
Will you talk with me now?
C
Let me see through your eyes
               Am     G
Where there is so much life
       Am          G
We are biding our time
          Am        G
For these myths to unwind
       Am         G           C
These changes we will confront

C            
So please beware
           Am              G
With every place that you head
C           
Look to your soul
           Am               G
For these things that you know
        Am               G
For the trees that we see
       Am      G
Cannot forever breathe
Am                     G           C
With the changes they will confront

[Chorus]
C
You know some people 
          F             C
They just wont understand
          F            C        G
They just wont understand these things
C
Thank you for your message
      F              C
But I don't understand
           F             G       C     
No, I just wont understand these things

[Verse 2]
            C
This sacred land it has
Am         G
Seen many hands, it has
   C
Wealth and gold yet it is
Am           G
Fragile and old and all the
Am     G                Am       G      
Greedy souls just don't care to know
Am                 G           C
Of the changes it will confront

C
So speak out loud of the
Am              G
Things you are proud
C
And if you love this coast
        Am           G
Keep it clean as it evolves
        Am           G
Cos the way that it shines
         Am            G
May just dwindle with time
Am                   G           C
With the changes it will confront

[Chorus] x 2

They just wont understand these things

[Verse 3]
C
So hold nice and close
              Am           G
The ones that get to your soul
C
So that when it is cold 
         Am       G
You wont feel so alone
        Am              G
Cos the roads that you take
         Am         G
May just crack and break
Am                    G           C         
With the changes you will confront

C
With each gift that you share
        Am        G
You may heal and repair
C
With each choice that you make
        Am              G
You may help someone's day
       Am            G
Well I know you are strong
         Am          G
May your journey be long
Am                  G       C
Now I wish you the best of luck
       Am            G
Well I know you are strong
         Am          G
May your journey be long
Am                      G       C
And now I wish you the best of luck

[Chorus]
C
You know some people 
          F             C
They just wont understand

They just wont understand these things
C
Thank you for your message
      F              C
But I don't understand
           F             G       C
