C                           F C                    Dm 
I'm holdin' on but it's not easy, I want to keep believing 
        F           C  
But I'm leaving it alone 
C                             F  C                         Dm  
I'm learning how to speak the language in spite of all the baggage  
      Em               F              G 
I've acquired straying miles from the fold 
    Am           Dm 
And I don't even know 
         F             G 
What the futures gonna hold 
    Am             Dm  
But I can still pretend 
        F                G 
That it works out in the end 
 
Chorus: 
C              G                  Am                 F  
It's a good thing when a word can straighten out the bends 
C              G                 Am                     F  
It's a good thing when the phone rings and you know the other end 
C              G            Am                  F  
It's a good thing when everything starts making sense 
C                           G               F       G      C  
It's a good thing, when the good things are comin' 'round again 
 
I'm not afraid to start it over, I'm smarter and I'm older 
And I've got a better plan 
It's funny what can get you thinking about what you been bringing 
To the table as an able-bodied man 
It's kind of hard to see 
The future in regards to me 
Somewhere I'll fit in 
But I don't know how and I don't know when
