verse 1
Bm A G
I was trembling with gooseflesh
Bm A G
First time I prayed to speak in tongues
Bm A G Em
I saw it coming and I tried to run
Bm A G
But now I make it up as I go along
Bm A G
Do I drive around with my high beams on
Bm A G
Do I ever watch the road
Bm A G Em
I store my thoughts in other people's heads
Bm A G
Then I question what they know
[Refrão]Bm A G
The rain falls on the animals
Bm A G
The wind blows up the dirt
Bm A G Em
I Climb the rock make a home in the cleft
Bm A G
And keep a record of the earth
Bridge
F#m G
On a crowded city sidewalk
F#m G
Or in the wilderness alone
F#m G
The crowd of witnesses hover above you
Bm A G
Like a a pillar of smoke
Bm A G
Singing stories whispering jokes
[Refrão]Bm A G
So The rain falls on the animals
Bm A G
The wind blows up the dirt
Bm A G Em
I Climb the rock I make a home in the cleft
Bm A G
And I Keep a record of the earth
Bm A G
I keep a record of the earth
Bm A G Em
And I write it down for what it's worth
G Em Bm
For what it's worth
