Blades Of Grass

Bm


[Verse]
   G                                     C
I wish that I had something to be more proud of
   G                                         C
I wish that I could raise my voice a little louder
                 D                       C
And stand up straight like the people I hate
              D               C
And stand up tall, but I am laying down empty as a hall


[Chorus]
          G                     C
Because lately, I've been bent over
       D         C
Like blades of grass
      D            C           G
Bent over at the knees (like blades of grass)
       D                  C
Blowed over by a gentle breeze (like blades of grass)
       D                 C            G
Mowed over by an old machine (like blades of grass)
        D                 C
Blowed over by a gentle breeze (like blades of grass)
        Bm
(Like blades of grass)

[Verse]
     G                                    C
I'm weak minded, I always knew, I never doubted
      G                                  C
So I look to her, I look to you to get me out
                 D                    C
And live life straight even if for a day
              D               C
And stand up tall, but I am staring out blankly as a wall


[Chorus]
          G                     C
Because lately, I've been bent over
        D        C
Like blades of grass
      D            C
Bent over at the knees (like blades of grass)
        D                 C
Blowed over by a gentle breeze (like blades of grass)
        D               C
Mowed over by an old machine (like blades of grass)
        D                 C
Blowed over by a gentle breeze (like blades of grass)
        D        Cmaj7
Like blades of grass
       D         Cmaj7
Like blades of grass
       D         Cmaj7
Like blades of grass
       D        Cmaj7
Like blades of grass
