Davids Country

[Verse] Em You choose your way, and I C By God, I will choose mine Am G Thumb went up, guitar in hand Em You sought the high life C With those rich and shameless men Am G And I get my fill on one-night stands Em You wanted the things that I C I couldn't possibly buy Am G And I wanted to wander and sing my songs Em Your life became parties C With handsome men and jealousies Am G And I worked the dark and dingy bars [Chorus] C G So why do we seek and yet always want? D G Why do we go and never arrive? C G I'd give it all, but darling, tell me what's the use? D G It will never gain back our youth Em C Am G Em C Am G Em [Verse] Em Now in the twilight C I try not to wonder why Am G Our paths have changed and years gone by Em Well, the riches you wanted C And the fame that I sought were Am G Not achieved by us on our goodbye Em And you found your lake lit home C And I found my national fame Am G Oh, the robber, and we're shamed (?) Em So tell me what it's worth C With all the splendors of the earth Am G And why couldn't we see our paths were the same? [Chorus] C G So why do we seek and yet always want? D G Why do we go and never arrive? C G I'd give it all, but darling, tell me what's the use? D G We'll never gain back our youth [Bridge] Am It's coming down G I'm gonna drown Fmaj7 C The rain will wash me away A I'll be ok G I've seen better days Fmaj7 C But I'll still love you just the same C [Chorus] N.C. So why do we seek and yet always want? N.C. Why do we go and never arrive? N.C. I'd give it all, but darling, tell me what's the use? N.C. It will never gain back our youth
