Key: F
This is in DADGAD tuning, capo 3 on the guitar.
(The recording is in F, rather flat -- you'll need to tune down if you want to
play along with it.)
F F/D Gm/Bb Fsus4/Bb Ebsus2
F F/D Bb/G Fsus2/G
you've been this way since the day that you could walk
Bb Bbsus2 Ebsus2
you put your ear down to the ground to hear the insects talk
so unsteady yet so eager to try
you close your fists up in the air to catch a bird flying by
Dm7 Dm7/G Bbsus2
oh, or an airplane in the sky
F Eb Bbsus2
and you put yourself in harm's way
F Eb Gm7
we've always known this could happen some day
F Eb Gm7/F
you've put yourself in harm's way
a fire inside you like your father before
what you would find with what we gave you is not so easy any more
convinced yourself that you've got something left to prove
and now you're out there in the world trying to fill his shoes
and oh, it's so easy not to choose
and you'll put yourself in harm's way
we've always known this could happen some day
you'll put yourself in harm's way
[slide guitar solo over:]

F Eb Bbsus2 Bbsus2
you've been this way since the day that you could walk
you threw your heart down on the ground, but the world don't stop
gone away now, just as fast as you came
it's just the way that things are, it's always been this way
and, oh, take good care of my name
when you put yourself in harm's way
you've always known this could happen some day
you put yourself in harm's way
you've always known this could happen some day
you put yourself in harm's way
you've always known this could happen some day
F Eb Gm7
you put yourself in harm's way
