Jack Johnson - I Tend To Digress

[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
G F C
Is there really someone out there cooking all of this up, he needs it hot

He’s not trying to find me in a microscope
G
And I’m not trying to cope with the idea
F
He says, “Nope”, when his friends ask him
C
If he thinks I’m really looking up from way down here
G
Is there really someone down there trying to hold on to a world?
C
He’ll never see me writing notes, or knocking planets over with my pen
G F C
In this moment I stay still, I feel I should try to disturb nothing

[Pre-Chorus]
C G F
But I tend to digress from time to time….

[Break]
C

[Verse 2]
G
Back here in the headlights
F
I compare and I contrast
C
It’s fair to say sometimes I make things last longer than they want to last
G
Fall when I was younger
F C
Or next spring when I’ll be singing songs about now

Wondering just how I got from there to here
G
Or the other way around
F
Am I just a proper noun?

[Chorus]
C G F
I tend to digress from time to time….
C Am
Yeah, I tend to digress from time to time
A7sus4
Is it time to start over again?

Oh time, Is it time to start over again?

[Bridge]
G
But I want meaning I want reason
F
It’s not enough to have a pleasing morning
C
Listening to birds sing songs about getting their money’s worth
G
Or the earth beneath the cement
F
Beneath the chair I’m sitting in
C
Under the roof over my head

Under a sky that’s turning red
G
Under the stars, begin to shine
F
As I become unstuck in time
C
Waking up in strange places
G
Chasing good conversations with my friends
F
Where’d my mind go? With my friends

What do I know?
C G
I tend to digress from time to time
