[Verso 1]
C
Got a list of things that need to get done today
G F
Tryin to find words, but I got none to say

Sittin here hangin in silence trying to process what's holding me back
G F
Quickly find out I've no energy for that
C
So I stay hangin in silence
[Refrão]
F
Till I make like a rabbit and go down the hole
C G Am F
Start wondering bout things that I'll never know
G
Lord will these dreams ever come true
F
Should I pack it all up and go buy me some land
C G Am
Make all my money from milk and egg stands
F G
At the end of the day be front porch rockin' with you

Why do I try to find peace where it never goes

Why do I try and make sense of what I'll never know

I feel most at ease when I ain't on the phone
G F
AC is humming and no body's home
C G
In silence I hear it all,
F
The ache of the heart whispers through the walls
C G Am
And memories past echo down the hall,
F G
I hear the creek rollin and the crickets are singing their song
[Refrão]

Till I make like a rabbit and go down the hole
