I want to live where the sky is big
Simple and free
That's where I want to be
Simple and free
That's where I gotta be
Take my clothes off
Be the one I am
In my own rhythm
Like the water
Simple and free
That's where I gotta be
Just living day to day to day to day
Just living day to day to day to day
Like a cherry seed
Let me learn to bleed
Breaking open
Like the sun
Just living day to day to day to day to day
Just living day to day to day to day to day
Why do I keep fucking up (3x)
Just living day to day to day to day to day
Just living day to day to day to day to day
02. My Fidelity
Am
1. Is it something ritual I'm caught in, can't break the spell?
G
Is it moving in my body, is it biological?
Am
I gotta hand it to you, you've got one heart ten times divided
G
Did you cut yourself in pieces to get them all inside?
Am
R. You dream about her, can't you see?
G
She's only shining bright 'cause she's so out of reach
Am
You dream about the seven seas
G F G
while I'm staying home each night, making love to my fidelity
2. I'm rocking in my bed. I can't talk, can't think, can't sleep
And nothing's jumping fences, I only count what I cannot keep
I lick my wounds, I chase my instinct, like a cat
I don't know how I got so good or why my heart's a trap
R. You dream about her, can't you see ...
F G Am
B. Why I love you, why I love you, why I love you I don't know
F G Am
Why I love you, why I love you, why
F G Am F G Am F G F
Taking sides with my enemy, making love to my fidelity
R. You dream about her, can't you see ...
3. I'm landlocked, stuck in here. I don't want to take my freedom
I can't change what makes me high and I can't change what I believe in
I'm not pleasing no guru, I'm not out to look for Jesus
I'm not afraid to break the rules,
It's just, one love keeps me breathing
R. Dream about her, can't you see ...
F G Am
B. Why I love you, why I love you, why I love you I don't know
F G Am
Why I love you, why I love you, why I love you, why
F G Am F G Am F G Am
Taking sides with my enemy, making love to my fidelity
