Shane Smith & The Saints - Canvas

^Em I had a a brother who wasn't ^Cfrom my family ^G We worked a ranch by the border where the ^Dsus2rain cloud's never seen And old ^EmRocco was a ranch hand,^C he got fired from our bossman ^G Now he works a 'dozer in Eagle Pa^Dsus2ss ^Em I ain't seen him in a long time,^C I wonder how he's gettin' by And I ^Gwish our fate sometimes could take us ^Dsus2back

He said, "Your ^Clife is a canvas, you ^Empaint some everyday And when you ^Gthink you've got it all figured out in your head you know the ^Dsus2Man's got your final say And look ^Cback on all your memories, if w^Eme go our separate ways Don't for^Gget your life's a canvas,^Dsus2 we might get painted back so^Emmeday" ^{C G Dsus2}

^Em You're rollin' barbed wire^C and killin' time ^G You wake the sunrise^Dsus2 and work till nine Just like the ^Emsunset on the ocean, the ^Clight just fades away You see the ^Gstars shine in the desert just be^Dsus2fore the break of day And then the ^Emwind throws me a memory of an ^CL.A. girl I loved You know she ^Gleft me for the sunset when she ^Dsus2said she'd had enough

And as the ^Emsweat rolls through my work glove, ask me "^CWhat are you doin' here?" Could she ^Glove you for a lifetime and not ^Dsus2even shed a tear? I bet she'd ^Emride by Arizona when them ^Cmountains all turn black Question ^Gfaith down at some crossroad, drinkin' ^Dsus2from a paper sack I've lost two ^Embuddies from two drunken nights and ^Cthat alone is tough They're ^Gprobably in some better place but ^Dsus2man it's gettin' rough It's getti^Emn' rough ^C It's gettin' ^Grough ^Dsus2

He said, "Your ^Clife is a canvas, you ^Empaint some everyday And when you ^Gthink you've got it all figured out in your head you know the ^Dsus2Man's got your final say And look ^Cback on all your memories, if w^Eme go our separate ways Don't for^Gget your life's a canvas,^Dsus2 we might get painted back so^Emmeday" ^{C G Dsus2}
