hindsight brings me down
it keeps me on the ground
and though I'm never proud
I wouldn't dare
if you weren't there
the thing with gettin' up
feels like giving up
feels like not enough
you eat a crumb
and waste a loaf
they don't want to talk about the other side
where the grass was greener than they said
cuz this doesn't bring to mind
what I'd expect to find
they must be color blind
Instrumental like verse
A E D
what about canada
A
what about canada
E
this paradise
D
of pines and ice
morning comes in freight ships while you're sleeping
bad into ideas was no surprise
we'll wait till the wild has rights
then never lock doors at night
and kiss all those wars goodbye
