Intro: C F G C F G C F G I've been high and mighty, low and scared C F G About all the how's it going C F G And though not exactly unaware C F G It's a family we're growing C F G I have watched her body changing shape C F G The new eating, craving patterns C F G It seems everything is turning 'round C F G Including what it is that matters Dm F G Everything I see is getting real concrete, no poetical reflections Dm F G But I feel lucky walking down the street C F G In this ancient new direction Time to be responsible The food and clothes and shelter Does it shock the system of your solo world When introspection is no helper Everything I see is getting real concrete, no poetical reflections But I feel lucky walking down the street In this ancient new direction Chorus: F G Maybe we will grow together like C C/B Am Am7 Cypress trees in summer F G A Standing close and tall, green fingers in a row F G Fmaj7 Maybe we will grow together like cypress trees repeat chorus F G Fmaj7 C Maybe we will grow together like cypress trees
