Lyrics Shakey Graves - To cure what ails...

F# Abm Db
So I tried a new direction, Ooo-ooh
Abm Db
A new mindset, a new state
B
but running's what it is
Db
it's hard when you're a kid
F#
to find your place

Abm Db
I know a gang of clever fellows (Ooo-ooh)
Abm Db
we built a fort out in the woo-oods
B
we cuss and spit at all the girls
Db
without a care in all the world
F#
yeah, the living is good

-

Abm
but now I'm supposed to grow
F#
big and tall
Ebm F#
seems like I don't get to wear my bare feet at all
Db
but when the storm is through
B
my feet know what to do
F#
all roads lead to you

-

Abm Db
I think i've grown a little thinner (Ooo-ooh)
Abm Db
without you riding my coattails
B
I will trade it in all again
Db
for a nice stroll in your skin
F#
just to cure what ails

-
Abm
and I can see a palm tree
F#
from my chair
Ebm F#
so I don't really feel like going any-where
Db
and even if I do
B
It really is of no use
F#
cause all roads lead to you

Abm
and I can see a palm tree
F#
from my chair
Ebm F#
so I don't really feel like going any-where
Db
and even if I do
B
It really is of no use
F#
cause all roads lead to you

-

Abm Db
I always try to please you (Ooo-ooh)
Abm Db
I never get any sleep (Ooo-ooh)
B
love seems easier when it comes
Db
but the coming's just the first part
F#
of having to leave

Abm Db
so maybe ill die a happy minstrel ooo-oor
Abm Db
just a shadow of my former self (Ooo-ooh)
B
I'd undo what I have done
Db
but lamenting's much more fun
F#
guilt is bad for your health

-
Abm
oh, but now I'm supposed to grow
F#
big and tall
Ebm F#
seem’s like i don’t get to wear my bare feet at all
Db
but when the day is through
B
there’s nothing left to do
F#
baby, all roads lead to you

Db
yeah baby when my life is through
B
i know just what to do
F#
cause all roads lead to you
