Notes: Just like with other Mark's songs recorded using his Martin Custom Shop Size 5
Terz 12-Fret guitar,
like 'River Towns' or 'Basil', the song sounds wider than you can achieve on one guitar,
contributing
to this shimmering 12-string effect. I used the most reasonable voicings here combining
both comfort of
playing and good sound. Chords like Fmaj7sus2 [133010] are only possible to be played
with the thumb.

Broke, frustrated

And obsessed

You saw me as ridiculous, I guess

Not even my own voice

But I knew there was something

And I knew there was no choice

I was leavin', mostly heartache, but I was

In no mood to rejoice

There was so much that was wrong

It's all gonna happen

And I'll be a happening man
Bb
And God must still be laughing
Dm/A
At a boy and his plans

In the streets where they were born

And the hopscotch traces, well

You can still see 'em here

The chalk lines faded

And unclear

Time for me to

Disappear

Put my old boots back on

Wherever
