Lincoln Brewster - Downhill Chords

[Verse 1]
                                  F
but that's just something people say
                  C
when they're on their last leg and
            F                                     
they need someone to say something to help them cope
      A                         C
or someone to say something hopeful
  C             F
I hope you're ok
                                C
but thats just something people say
          A
and if I meant every word that I ever said
            F
you would probably question the life I have led
                                        C
you'd probably think I'm an evil broken person
                        C
and you would be right


[Chorus 1]
        F
because I went downhill at such steep incline
            C
that my rearview mirror showed me only the sky
        A                    C
and I laughed about it all night
                F                       
and I said 'hey man, isn't it poetic
          C
that the sky is what we leave behind?'
                A
cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud
            C                                         
and I got bored of the world before I hit the ground


[Verse 2]
        F                                C
and you're the one who taught me to be brave
        A                           F        C
I've never spent a moment loving anyone but you
      F                           C
and maybe that's just something that people say
        A                           F
but I hope that you know it's the truth


[Chorus 2]
        F
because I went downhill at such steep incline  
            C
that my rearview mirror showed me only the sky
        A                    C
and I laughed about it all night


[Verse 3]
         F                         C
because you were the first one to show me the stars
                A
and they don't mean much to me
              F
but I still wonder where you are
      A                         F
and some nights I still try to find you
   A                F
relative to constellations
                A                       F
and all your relatives are still on vacation
          C             A
or so I heard from a friend
             F           C
and does it mean anything
    A                C
that you stayed in town?

probably not


[Chorus 3]
        F
because I went downhill at such steep incline
            C
that my rearview mirror showed me only the sky
        A                    C
and I laughed about it all night
                F                       
and I said 'hey man, isn't it poetic
          C
that the sky is what we leave behind?'
                A
cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud
            C                                         
and I got bored of the world before I hit the ground
                F                       
hey man, isn't it poetic
          C
that the sky is what we leave behind?
                A
cause I was born into the world on a silken cloud
            C                                         
and I got bored of the world before I hit the ground
