DESPITE IT ALL

Chords: G C D

Strangely I'm feeling complicated about the rhythms and the chords
lately I'm feeling so conflicted about the things that I absorb
lately I'm realizing I'm no better off it's true
when I hold things more tightly than I need to

I have spent too many hours staring toward the wall
hoping in my strength I could make my demons fall
but consequences, circumstances, and perceptions just bring strife
and handcuff all my dreams and kill my quality of life

but I believe things can be different
I believe that we can change
yes I believe we never have to stay the same


Strangely it seems like my life is never slowing down
But I'm getting more at ease when she's around
I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to or fear the day
when she can stay at home and I not feel like I've walked away

see my priorities have shifted and I ever am so glad
because I am becoming less selfish and I'm dropping all my fads
but consequences, circumstances, and perceptions still bring strife
and handcuff all my dreams and kill my quality of life

but I believe things can be different
I believe that we can change
yes I believe we never have to stay the same

(you see)

this body could be a Bible if a bike could be a bomb
and there's nothing better than to find where you belong

come old friend let us reason together
come old friend let us reason let us reason today

despite it all I still believe in you
despite it all I still believe you're true
