Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
Em7
…and start up again
Dsus2 Cadd9
Um, I think it’ll be an experience for you that you’ll never forget
D
Probably will be life-changing
Em7
I think it’s going to be very hard on your body
Dsus2 Cadd9
I think you’re gonna be, um, shocked at how difficult it is
D
But I applaud you for trying it, I’m really excited for yo
Em7 Dsus2
And like Aunt Becky says, “Nobody gets hurt”
Cadd9 D
So just be safe, and I love you
[Verse 1]
Em7
It’s hard to explain what I got the vision for
Dsus2
It’s almost like I’m tryna sing a hidden note
Cadd9
And I can’t even get it out, though it’s it my throat
D
I get so frustrated, I feel like a misanthrope
Em7
I start feeling like my whole life isn’t dope
Dsus2
And I’ve ruined everything with what I didn’t know
Cadd9
Then some shit my father told me starts hitting home
D
What the fuck am I even here livin’ for?
Em7 Dsus2
I miss my friends, we don’t talk as much as we used to
Cadd9
I’m too busy checking on YouTube and scrolling on IG
D
I tend to get glued to various distractions as my life floats by
Em7
Have I just been checked out the whole time?
Dsus2
I spend 85% of it online
Cadd9 D
And for the things that really matter I got no time (No time)
Em7
But wait, if I can get myself out of this broke mood
Dsus2
Then maybe all my listeners could have hope too
Cadd9
Yeah, that’s what I’m gon’ do
D
I become who I am from all the shit I go through
[Chorus]
Em7 Dsus2 Cadd9 D
Keep walkin’
Em7 Dsus2 Cadd9 D
If I could write my name across the sky for all to see, then I would
Em7 Dsus2 Cadd9 D
If I could bring myself to understand what you are, then I would
Em7 Dsus2
And I would if I could, if I could, then I would
Cadd9 D
And I would if I could, if I could, then I would
Em7 Dsus2
And I would if I could, if I could, then I would
Cadd9 D
And I would if I could, if I could, then I would, and I would
[Verse 2]
Em7
I’m a butterfly flyin’ through a broken sky
Dsus2
God servin’ me truth, and I’m open wide
Cadd9
It takes courage to be still and go inside
D
I’m on a tip of liberation, watch me toe the line
Em7
When yoga pose hits a yoga pose
Dsus2
A part of me that I really hate showin’ shows
Cadd9
You get a taste from my post of quotes
D
But my inner growth is something no one knows
Em7
And I hope it shows
Dsus2 Cadd9
In my eyes, in my music, in my vibe, in my kindness
D
And in my stride, in the grand art piece that is my life
Em7
And again, this is just a brush stroke
Dsus2
You’ve been running long enough, child, come home
Cadd9
Break it down, universe means one song
D
You wanna taste life, swim into the unknown
Em7
I know that I did my best
D
I’m not designed to eat, sleep, sit, and text
Cadd9
My thirty-first year is a vision quest
D
I know the answer that I’m lookin’ for isn’t sex
Em7
And it isn’t money, isn’t fame
D
It’s something much deeper than I can explain
Cadd9
And this verse is just a finger pointin’ toward the trail
D
Soon you gonna have to walk it for yourself
[Chorus]
Em7 Dsus2 Cadd9 D
Keep walkin’
Em7 Dsus2 Cadd9 D
If I could write my name across the sky for all to see, then I would
Em7 Dsus2 Cadd9 D
If I could bring myself to understand what you are, then I would
Em7 Dsus2
And I would if I could, if I could, then I would
Cadd9 D
And I would if I could, if I could, then I would
Em7 Dsus2
And I would if I could, if I could, then I would
Cadd9 D
And I would if I could, if I could, then I would, and I would
[Outro]
Em7 Dsus2 Cadd9
If you could give a wish to future Mike when he sets off on his walk in a few months, what would that be?
D
I wish you remember this is what you wanted
Em7 Dsus2
This is, this is what you wanted
Cadd9 D
I understand intellectually there are gonna be terrible moments on this journey
Em7 Dsus2
Where I wanna give up, where my body hurts, where I’m thinking
Cadd9 D
“Why the heck did I choose to do this? This was so stupid”
Em7 Dsus2
And the reason you chose to do it
Cadd9
Was to feel what you’re feeling right now
D Em7 Dsus2 Cadd9 Dsus2 Em7
And decide to keep going
