As recorded by Presley Haile
(2026 release)
Intro
[C]
Verse 1
[C]
Oh I wonder
[C]
What waits out yonder
[F]
Where the pines brush the sky
[G] [F] [C]
And the old rivers wind
[C]
Maybe it’s stillness
[C]
A paradise to witness
[F]
Or maybe I’ll just miss
[G] [F] [C]
The fields I left behind
Chorus
[F] [C]
I’ve been wandering slow
[F] [C]
Talking to shadows
[F] [C]
Head in the clouds
[G]
Both heels on the ground
[F] [C]
And it ain’t bought me more than
[F] [C]
A mouthful of porcelain
[F] [C]
Grindin’ ‘gainst the weight
[G] [F] [C]
Of the words I don’t say
[Instrumental Break]
[C]
Verse 2
[C]
Oh can you tell me
[C]
Is there a sweet ending
[F]
Or am I just tending
[G] [F] [C]
The ghost of an old flame
[C]
I ain’t after lights or glory
[C]
Just give me a good story
[F]
And a fire that stays burning
[G] [F] [C]
When the bitterness remains
Chorus
[F] [C]
I’ve been wandering slow
[F] [C]
Talking to shadows
[F] [C]
Head in the clouds
[G]
Both heels on the ground
[F] [C]
And it ain’t bought me more than
[F] [C]
A mouthful of porcelain
[F] [C]
Grindin’ ‘gainst the weight
[G] [F] [C]
Of the words I don’t say
[F] [C]
Just grindin’ ‘gainst the weight
[G] [F] [C]
Of the words I don’t say
[Instrumental Break]
[C] [F] [G] [F] [C]
[F] [G] [F] [C]
Outro
[C]
Oh I wonder
[C]
What waits out yonder
[F]
Maybe flowers, maybe rain
[G] [F] [C]
But I’m going all the same
