Verse
Well, [Am]I own this[C] field
And [Am]I rode the[C] sky
And [Am]I have no [C]reason to [G/B]reason with [F]you
I'd be [Am]sad that I never held your [C]hand as you were lowered
But I'd [G]understand that I'd never let it [Am]go
I'd be [Am]sad that I never held your [C]hand as you were lowered
But I'd [G]understand the world does what it [Am]does
You [F]never did [C]learn to let the [G]little things go
And you [F]never did [C]learn to let me [G]be
And you [F]never did [C]learn to let [G]little people grow
You [F]never did [C]learn how to [G]see
But I [Am]whisper that I love this man [C]now and for forever
To your [G]soul as it floats out of the [Am]window
To the [F]world that you [C]turned your back [G]on
To the [F]world that never [C]really let you [G]be
And I am [Am]lower now, and [C]lower still
And you did [F]always say that [C]one day I would [G]suffer
You did [F]always say that [C]people get their [G]pay
You did [F]always say that [C]I was going [G]places
And that you [F]wouldn't have it [C]any other [G]way
Chorus
But I [Am]couldn't turn my back on a [C]world
For what I like wouldn't [G]let me
But I [Am]couldn't turn my back on a [C]world
For what I like I [G]needed
[Instrumental Break] (not here in every version)
| Am | C | G | G | x2
Chorus
And I [Am]couldn't turn my back on a [C]world
For what I like wouldn't [G]let me
And I [Am]couldn't turn my back on a [C]world
For what I like I [G]needed
And I [Am]shouldn't turn my back
On a [C]sweet-smelling blackberry [G][C]stone[G]
