Manzanita Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]As the faces of the [F]rock begin to [C]gather at the ground,
[Dm][Gsus4]
And the manzan[C]ita [F]finds a way to [C]curl and to be,
[Dm][Gsus4][Dm]
And [C]the second hand [F]is satisfied with
[C]how it comes [Dm]around,[Gsus4]
And [C]the waves [F]percuss against
the heat [C]and come back to [Dm]the sea,
I love [F]the way that we [C]grow old,
the way my [Dm]teeth are getting [C]dull,
And the way the [F]river [C]turns to
a ravine after it's full,
And how the [F]parking [C]lots are growing
full of [F]weeds after [C]the cull;
Oh [Gsus4]yeah, I love the way that we gro[C]w old[F].
[C][Dm][Gsus4][C][F]
[C][Dm][Gsus4]
[Dm]As t[C]he trauma you remember f[F]rom
[C]way back when you were young
[Dm]Begins[Gsus4] to dissipat[C]e and be
[F]replaced by [C]something more [Dm]profound,
Like the [C]way the paint is [F]drying as
[C]it hangs there [Dm]on the rung,
And how you [C]watch it with [F]the brush
still in your [C]hand without [Dm]a sound,
I love the [F]way that you decide [C]to let
things be [Dm]as it gets[F] cold,[C]
And the [F]way the cards all [C]hover on
the table [F]when [Dm]you fold,[C]
With [F]unfamiliar [C]ease creeping up
[Dm]on us li[C]ke mold;
[Gsus4]Oh yeah, I love the way that we grow[C]
[F]old.[C][Dm][F][C]
[F][C][Dm]
When [C]the girls are still [F]young but
[C]you decide to take a [Dm]job,
And sud[C]denly [F]the chapter starts
to sput[C]ter to [Dm]a close,
And [C]the thought of leaving it [F]behind
just [C]makes your spirit [Dm]throb,
But [C]time is ines[F]capable and
it [C]knows what [Dm]it knows,
I love [F]the way that we march [C]on
into the unfa[Dm]miliar shoals,
[C]How the lig[F]ht looks on the oce[C]an floor
as af[F]ternoon takes hold[C],
How casual you are when you are
[Gsus4]brave and you[C] are bold;
Oh [Gsus4]yeah, I love the way that we [C]grow old[F].[C][Dm][C][F]
[C][Dm][Gsus4][C][F]
[C][Dm][Gsus4][C][F][C]
[Dm]
With [C]the work that you've been
[F]doing begin[C]ning to grow [Dm]thin,
As [C]if you've just been [F]waiting
in a [C]pool for [Dm]the tide,
And [C]now you see [F]the shadow of a
big [C]wave coming [Dm]in ,
And every [C]fiber of your be[F]ing says
[C]to brace your[Dm]self or hide,
I love [F]the way that [C]you prepare against
the [Dm]nature of [C]your soul,
The [F]way the earth will shud[C]der
as it [Dm]curls and it roll[C]s,
How [F]dignified the [C]answer as the
question takes a toll;
Oh [Gsus4]yeah, I love the way that we gro[C]w old.
