[Verse] G Gmaj7 Em Oh I wish I was the sparrow in your kid's eye C D G Like a fly above is summer all day long Gmaj7 Em On an island in the heart he has to carry C D G Past the many you have let into your song
[Chorus] G C D G C And I said oh my lord why am I not strong D G C Like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on D G Like the wheel that will take you home
[Verse] G Gmaj7 Em And in the forest someone is whispering to a tree now C D G This is all I am so please don't follow me Gmaj7 Em And it's your brother in the shaft that I'm swinging C D G Please let the kindness of forgetting set me free
[Chorus] G C D G C And I said oh my lord why am I not strong D G C Like the wheel that keeps travelers traveling on D G Like the wheel that will take you home
[Verse] G Gmaj7 Em And on this Sunday someone's sitting down to wonder C D G Where the hell among these mountains will I be? Gmaj7 Em There's a cloud behind the cloud to which I'm yelling C D G I could hear you sneak around so easily
[Chorus] G C D G C And I said oh my lord why am I not strong D G C Like the branch that keeps hangmen hanging on D G Like the branch that will take me home
