Tift Merritt - Engine To Turn Chords

CAPO: 1st Fret




INTRO: C  F  Am  F

  C                         F
I don't know how to fix the world
  Am                      F
I don't know how to fix myself
C                            F
Seems like we both need some love
Am                           F
seems like we both need some help


C                        F
Maybe you could fix with might
Am                            F
Maybe you could just stare it down
C                     F
Seems like some tenderness
Am                          F
Could turn the whole thing around


CHORUS:
         C                           Am
I'm just trying to get the engine to turn
         C                          Am
I'm just trying to smile through my tears
      C                    Am
And I still got so much to learn
               C                     Am
But the best I can, is what I got to give
              F         C
Gonna give it while I'm here


                          F
Most days I want to speed up
Am                         F
Seems like I ought to slow down
C                    F
Maybe the pieces are here
      Am                 F
Got to take a good look around


C                          F
Maybe the world feels like me
        Am                      F
Wishing someone would sing it a song
 C                              F
About how there's a lot of good here
 Am                         F
About how it's done nothing wrong


CHORUS:
         C                           Am
I'm just trying to get the engine to turn
         C                          Am
I'm just trying to smile through my tears
      C                    Am
And I still got so much to learn
               C                     Am
But the best I can, is what I got to give
              F         C     G
Gonna give it while I'm here


BRIDGE:
                    Am
Sometimes there's a choir in my head
F                           C
Singing at the top of their voice
F                           Am
Singing at the top of their voice
            C     G    F
They sing, "Don't look back"
 C     G  F
"Don't be scared"
 C     G  F   Am   G
"Don't be scared_____"


CHORUS:
         C                           Am
I'm just trying to get the engine to turn
         C                          Am
I'm just trying to smile through my tears
      C                    Am
And I still got so much to learn
               C                     Am
But the best I can, is what I got to give
              F         C  
Gonna give it while I'm here
