Intro -x2-: B  Eb7  E  Gb

Verse 1:
              B       Eb7       E             B
Well I came alone to find a little piece of mind
   B                Eb7             E                     B
Neglected all my duties stepping off that straightened line
            B          Eb7                    Abm            Db
Now I just sit at my front door filled with indolence and sounds
                 B           Gb               B
It's like I'm watching the weeds grow on my brow


           B       Eb7            E             B
And I had pure potential and a soiled white shirt
       B              Eb7             E               B
With love enough to kill me but was unsure of its worth
                B          Eb7              Abm             Db
And though the night is sweetened by some rising of the moon
               B               Gb               B
I've lived enough to know the battle's never through

Chorus:
      E              B        Gb              B
You pass something down, no matter where or how
                   E            B       Gb
Well there'll be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows
                 E           B             Abm              Db
And there's a crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue
                 B             Gb                 B
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done

Verse 2:
              B              Eb7       E             Gb
Remember you travel to the desert or travel to the sea
         B            Eb7           E               B
Looking out on the horizon asking what you mean to me
            B          Eb7                      Abm             Db
And as we all hang around with a free or toiled mind
    B           Gb            B
While all of our branches entwined


            B        Eb7       E          Gb
And as I watch the brick erode within a day
         B              Eb7             E                  B
The leaves change their colors and the loft fills with hay
            B        Eb7       Abm             Db
And as a blade of sunshine cuts across my chest
    B              Gb          B
The blood beneath boils with unrest

Chorus:
      E              B        Gb              B
You pass something down, no matter where or how
                   E            B       Gb
Well there'll be weeds or wildflowers affixed upon your bows
                 E           B             Abm              Db
And there's a crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue
                 B             Gb                 B
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done

Interlude:
B       Eb7      E  Gb
La  La  La  La  Laaa
B       Eb7      E  Gb
La  La  La  La  Laaa

B       Eb7      Abm E  Gb
La  La  La  La  Laaa
B       Eb7      Abm E  Gb
La  La  La  La  Laaa

Chorus:
       E           B       Gb                B
Blown about by the wind, a worthless little thing
        E                  B            Gb
But the world can feel the changes of a butterfly's wings
            E               B         Abm               Db
And so that crooked burning cigarette rolling on your tongue
              B                 Gb                B
Will leave as weeds before your flowers yet have grown
              B            Gb                   B
Will there be weeds or wildflowers when you're done
