Intro:  E E A E
 
E
Wood burning up on the hill
E
Seen a drawer full of pills
         A                            E
And it's quiet, like snow through the trees
       B                    A              E
Well I did what I did and I didn't mean anything
 
E
Where you come from and where you go
E
Who you talk to and who you know
           A                  E
And you're lying in fields of green
       B                    A              E
Well I did what I did and I didn't mean anything
 
Chorus
    C#m           A          E
The sun rise, the drive, the morning
    C#m               A                E
The smoke stacks, the bold hats, still learning
      C#m                  A                      E
And I don't know how I got this far down with the ceiling
      C#m                  A                      E          B**
And I don't know how I got this far down with the ceiling
 
Bridge
A                      E                    A      E      B**
Oh, her eyes are wide open right out of her head...
A                      E                           A       E
Yeah, she's clear of a crown that she cut down for me (no-oh)
        B                      A               E
Well, I did what I did and I'd do it all over again
 
Instrumental Bridge: E E A E
 
E
I remember everything,
E                                         A                E
little girl learning to sing because she's crying all over me
      B                    A              E
But I did what I did and I didn't mean anything
 
Chorus
    C#m           A          E
The sun rise, the drive, the morning
    C#m               A                E
The smoke stacks, the bold hats, still learning
      C#m                  A                      E
And I don't know how I got this far down with the ceiling
      C#m                  A                      E           B**
And I don't know how I got this far down with the ceiling

A                      E                           A       E
Yeah, she's clear of a crown that she cut down for me (no-oh)
        B                      A               E
Well, I did what I did and I'd do it all over again
