Uphill Climb Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Everybody's after something, I mean success is,
it's just [C]a pursuit[Bb]
I'm [C]just an alchemist,
I turn pens and papers into verses
[Eb]Turn three verses into a [Bb]song
that makes you nervous
[C]Turn ten songs into an
album with a purpose
And I'll [Eb]plant that seed in a place
[Bb]deep beneath the surface
Wa[C]ter that seed till the trees
grow tall as [Eb]birches
The sun can [Bb]heat like a furnace
The [C]fruit provides nourishment
for every single
person
But the [Eb]fruit becomes more
with [Bb]surrounding
climate worsens
So I [C]go back to the lab,
create a different
version
But [Eb]something seems odd,
those pens [Bb]an d papers
just ain't workin'
Odd, [C]the situation's
changin' everything
Seems uncertain,
I'll stop [Eb]plantin' those seeds
Cause it's [Bb]time to close the curtains
I [C]move all over, you can say I get around I [Eb]walk along the highways,
[Bb]turn up in every
My [C]hands reach out and steal
life without a sound
Make [Eb]a speech on every soapbox
when [Bb]I just wanna get down
[C]This is my
Georgia here,
so pour the beer and boarded wine
Accord[Eb]ingly, I'm acting finely
tuned [Bb]in fully lunar mode
Eclipse of [C]sun, send the coded letter
Hoping red and hoping you can [Eb]be the one
To make me feel [Bb]a little bit better
Instead of [C]sunset and stars coming
Climbing hills and running head down
[Eb]Gotta make it to the lake [Bb]by sundown
[C]We can wash away this awful play
In your I'm soldiers in your [Eb]swing
The soldiers by the way I [Bb]turn
around and walk away
An [C]example of a low pressure bad
apple collaboration
Haven't you [Eb]no ticed I'm in focus
How the [Bb]toppings get tackled
getting a [C]downward spiral
Once the cages get rattled
and don't you [Eb]realize
In real life it's an [Bb]uphill battle
An ex[C]ample of a low pressure
bad apple collaboration
Haven't you [Eb]noticed I'm in focus
How the [Bb]toppings get tackled
getting a [C]downward spiral
Once the cages get rattled
and don't you [Eb]realize
Real life is an [Bb]uphill battle
Catch
[C]Paul, he's fallin' like leaves in autumn
You oughta [Eb]see him now,
he's callin' from the [Bb]odyssey's bottom
These
Coli[C]seum columns got
him in a bad situation
If it's the [Eb]last temptation,
or the [Bb]fact that I'm facin' impact
Got [C]me bracin' myself for the crash,
we're awaitin'
Meanwhile [Eb]back at the station,
people are [Bb]facin' confession
Perversions [C]raisin' the question,
why were we raised in deception?
F -f -f [Eb]-fuck all this stressin',
got me [Bb]blazin'
In this session, praised and ag[C]gressive,
messed for days in this maze of obsession
Just a [Eb]blessing in disguise,
it's depres[Bb]sion, I'm guessing
Just a [C]lesson for the troubled,
burnt, bubbled, and blistered
Mr.
[Eb]Twisted, a rock shit [Bb]piss, double fist
I'm just a [C]vacant man,
swimming in the sinking sands
I'm lost, I'm [Eb]a heart so cold,
my soul's [Bb]exposed
A forced bite,
I [C]don't suppose you noticed
Folks who got strife, [Eb]never look back
Cause you might [Bb]turn to salt like
Lot's wife
[C]Got in a lot of hot spots,
gotta drink cold [Eb]beer lots
Take a load off [Bb]hard rocks at the
Coro
South
[C]Know not where to go,
so for me we wander off and on
I [Eb]don't wanna know how long it'll [Bb]be,
we'll always be home
From the [C]seashore to the treetops,
my fleet walks to the beach stops
With each [Eb]step get my feet wet,
let [Bb]my speech flex when the beat drops
And [C]my mind works till the sun's tight,
and my face shifts to the sunlight
And my [Eb]eyes burn till the sand wakes,
and the [Bb]sky turns to the landscape
An ex[C]ample of a low pressure
bad apple collab
Haven't you [Eb]no ticed our main focus,
how the [Bb]timers get tackled, get in a downward spiral
Once our cages get rattled,
[Eb]then don't [Cm]you realize that real life is an [F]uphill [G]battle
An ex[C]ample of a low pressure,
bad apple collab
Haven't you [Eb]no ticed our main focus,
how the [Bb]timers get tackled, get in a [C]downward spiral
Once our cages get rattled,
then don't you [Eb]realize that real life is an [Bb]uphill battle
An ex[C]ample of a low pressure,
bad apple collab
Haven't you [Eb]no ticed our main focus,
how the [Bb]timers get tackled
Get in a [C]downward spiral
What's okay to see it rattle?
And don't you [Eb]realize that real
life is an [Bb]uphill battle?
Battle
[C]That's what makes pop
culture so signific[Eb]ant
[Bb]All the little consumers out there
[C]They have no interest in history or
economics or [Eb]sci ence or art
They're kind [Bb]of interested more in gossip
[C]The nature of celebrity
And that's [Eb]not at all encour
[Bb]aging to find out [C]that
You participate in that soci[Eb]ety,
[Bb]one way or the other.
