New Found Glory

^G Lo ^Dadd11 rd I've really been real stressed
^Em7 Down ^Cadd9 and out, losin ground
^G Al ^Dadd11 though I am black and proud
^Em7 Prob ^Cadd9 lems got me pessimistic
^G Br ^Dadd11 others and sisters keep messin up
^Em7 Why ^Dadd11 does it have to be so damn tuff?
^G I ^Dadd11 don't know where I can go
^Em7 To l ^Cadd9 et these ghosts out of my skull
^G My ^Dadd11 grandmas past, my brothers gone
^Em7 I ne ^Cadd9 ver at once felt so alone
^G I ^Dadd11 know you're supposed to be my steering wheel
^Em7 Not ^Cadd9 just my spare tire
^G Bu ^Dadd11 t lord I ask you
^Em7 To b ^Cadd9 e my guiding force and truth
^G Fo ^Cadd9 r some strange reason it had to be
^D He guided me to Tennessee
(Chorus)
^G Ta ^Cadd9 ke me to another place
^G Ta ^Cadd9 ke me to another land
^G Ma ^Cadd9 ke me forget all that hurts me
^Em7 Let ^D me understand your plan
^G Lo ^Dadd11 rd it's obvious we got a relationship
^Em7 Talk ^Cadd9 in to each other every night and day
^G Al ^Dadd11 though you're superior over me
^Em7 We t ^Cadd9 alk to each other in a friendship way
^G Th ^Dadd11 en outta nowhere you tell me to break
^Em7 Outt ^Cadd9 a the country and into more country
^G Pa ^Dadd11 st Dyesburg into Ripley
^Em7 Wher ^Cadd9 e the ghost of childhood haunts me
^G Wa ^Dadd11 lk the roads my forefathers walked
^Em7 Clim ^Cadd9 bed the trees my forefathers hung from
^G As ^Dadd11 ked those trees for all their wisdom

^G Fo ^Cadd9 r some strange reason it had to be
^D He guided me to Tennessee
(Chorus)
Bridge: G
^G No ^Dadd11 w I see the importance of history
^Em7 Why ^Cadd9 people be in the mess that they be
^G Many journeys to freedom made in vain
By brothers on the corner playin ghetto games
^G I ^Dadd11 ask you lord why you enlightened me
^Em7 With ^Cadd9 out the enlightment of all my folks
^G He ^Dadd11 said cuz I set myself on a quest for truth
^Em7 And ^Cadd9 he was there to quench my thirst
^Em7 But I am still thirsty...
^G Th ^Dadd11 e lord allowed me to drink some more
^Em7 He s ^Cadd9 aid what I am searchin for are
^G Th ^Dadd11 e answers to all which are in front of me
^Em7 The ^Cadd9 ultimate truth started to get blurry
^G Fo ^Cadd9 r some strange reason it had to be
^D It was all a dream about Tennessee
Chorus
End on G
Sweet.
