Verse 2: (picking the basically the same)
                        C C/B   Am7 Gsus  D2/F#
And how I'm all wrapped up in my mother's face
       C           C/B        D7sus       Gsus
With a touch of my father just up around the eyes
        C     C/B    Am7 Gsus D2/F#
And the sound of my brother's laugh
                C           C/B       D7sus        Gsus
But more wrapped up in what binds our ever distant lives

And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes


Verse 3:
         C  C/B   Am7 Gsus D2/F#
Hometown weather is on TV
   C          C/B          D7sus         Gsus
I imagine the lives of the people living there
        C  C/B     Am7  Gsus    D2/F#
And I'm curious if they imagine me
      C               C/B      D7sus            Gsus
Cause they just wanna leave; I wish that I could stay


Pre-chorus 2:
    G     Gmaj7   C
But I get turned around
Em7  Em6      Am7  C/B     C
I mistake my happiness for blessing
    G         Gmaj7    C
But I'm blessed as the poor
 Em7     Em6       Am7   C/B     C
Still I judge success by how I'm dressing


Chorus 2: (same as first except starting at "eyes")
           C             D7sus        G-Gsus
So keep'em coming, these lines on the road
            C                   D7sus          Em    G
And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load
            C                   D7sus        G
And keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
                   C                 D7sus
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my...

So I'll sing a song of my hometown
     C           C/B     D7sus    Gsus
I'll breathe the air and walk the streets
      C      C/B     Am7  G  D2/F#
Maybe find a place to sit and read
        C        C/B     D7sus  G
And the ants are welcome company
