By the [C]tennis courts off of [F]Granville
There’s a [C]park lined with [G]trees
[C]Children play and [F]dogs chase
[C]Families throw [G]frisbee

[C]I sit on the [F]grass
Pick the [C]notes out for a [G]waltz
To [C]sing to my [F]elders
And [C]play on my [G]guitar

[C]Words and phrases can [F]scatter
But a [C]careful tune can [G]get it right
[C]I’ve heard love is all that [F]matters
So I [C]shine it with all my [G]might

[Instrumental]  

I sit on the grass
Watching different stages of life pass
Wondering about everything
That goes between being older and younger

What will I do that matters
What things will slip away
What small acts of generosity
Will grow leaves?

Elders teeter past
And boys in their prime
The way life seems to work
Puts tears in my eyes

But I try to understand
What it’s all for
So I can do what I can
For what it’s all for

[Instrumental]
