Lyrics
(Em)Late ly I been, (G)I been los in’ sleep
dream in’ a bout the things that (C)we could be.
But, (Em)ba by, I been, (G)I been pray in’ hard.
Said no more count in’ dol lars, (C)we’ll be count in’ stars.
Yeah, we’ll be count in’ stars.
I see this (Em)life like a swing in’ vine, (G)swing my heart a cross the line.
(D)In my face is flash in’ signs, seek it out and ye shall find.
(Em)Old, but I’m not that old, (G)Young, but I’m not that bold.
And (D)I don’t think the world is sold on just do in’ what we’re told.
I, I
feel some thin’ so (D)right do in’ the (C)wrong thing.
And I, I
feel some thin’ so (D)wrong when do in’ the (C)right thing.
I could n’t lie, could n’t lie, could n’t lie.
Ev (CN.C.)’ry thing that kills me makes me feel a live.
(Em)Late ly I been, (G)I been los in’ sleep
dream in’ a bout the things that (C)we could be.
But, (Em)ba by, I been, (G)I been pray in’ hard.
Said no more count in’ dol lars, (C)we’ll be count in’ stars.
(Em)Late ly I been, (G)I been los in’ sleep
dream in’ a bout the things that (C)we could be.
But, (Em)ba by, I been, (G)I been pray in’ hard.
Said no more count in’ dol lars, (C)we’ll be, we’ll be count in’ (Em)stars.
I feel your (C)we’ll be, we’ll be count in’...
(Em)Take that mon ey, watch it burn.
Sink in the riv er the les sons I’ve learned.
Take that mon ey, watch it burn.
Sink in the riv er the les sons I’ve learned.
Take that mon ey, watch it burn.
Sink in the riv er the les sons I’ve learned.
Take that mon ey, watch it burn.
(C)Sink in the riv er the les sons I’ve (Em)learned.
