Artist: Built To Spill
[A]
[A] hindsight's [E]giving me
[D] too much [A]memory [A4] [A]
[D] there's too much [A]never seen [A4] [A]
but it's [E]always there
cuz it's [D]everywhere
taking my own advice
worked out for me nice
but now I come to find
the tricks we play
with human brains
[E] [D]*
they don't want to think about the other side
is that grass just greener cause it's fake
cuz that's all that [F#m]we've been told
since we were [E]five years old
[D] [D]**
is that all we'll ever know
[D]* [D]**

E-----------------| E --------------------------------|
hindsight brings me down
it keeps me on the ground
and though I'm never proud
I wouldn't dare
if you weren't there
the thing with gettin' up
feels like giving up
feels like not enough
you eat a crumb
and waste a loaf
they don't want to talk about the other side
where the grass was greener than they said
cuz this doesn't bring to mind
what I'd expect to find
they must be color blind
Instrumental like verse
what about [A]canada[E] [D]
what about [A]canada
this [E]paradise
of [D]pines and ice
morning comes in freight ships while you're sleeping
bad into ideas was no surprise
we'll wait till the wild has rights
then never lock doors at night
and kiss all those wars goodbye
