I don't think these are the exact picking patterns, but they gets to job done I suppose.
Gavin also occasionally adds an 0h2 hammer-on on the A string for G chords and on
the D string for C chords.
Verse 1:
Well, [G]I woke up this morning with dead [C]leaves inside my [G]bed.
You said "You're [G]better off just where you are than to [D]be stuck in my head.
You've got to [G]leave it all behind you and give your[C]self up to [G]chance."
So [Em]I gave [D]myself to [G]chance.
Verse 2:
And I [G]packed a little suitcase, brushed my [C]teeth and washed my [G]hands.
I've been [G]bluffing here for years and now I think it's [D]time I showed my hand.
I'm going to [G]move to New York City and [C]set the sky on [Cmaj7]fire.
Oh, don't the [Em]night look so [D]alive with it's de[G]sire
Chorus 1:
To [C]cross the River Jor[G]dan?
But it [D]just don't feel the [G]same.
When I [C]came home Friday mor[G]ning
With [Em]no one but my[D]self to [C]blame.[G]
[Em] [D] [G]
Verse 3:
See [G]I have trouble with numbers and [C]paying the ones I [G]owe.
And I [G]put what I had left in the [D]pocket of my coat.
I went [G]out to find a liquor store and make a [C]home there in the [G]snow,
Give my[Em]self a little [D]shelter from the [G]cold.
Chorus 2:
See, I was [C]bound here by my [G]choices.
Oh my [D]god how I felt so a[G]shamed.
Still I [C]hoped that you might [G]join us
And take this [Em]little light of [D]ours out on pa[G]rade
Melodica Section (played twice):
[Em] [D] [G] [C]
[Em] [D] [G] [G]
Verse 4:
I [G]used to look at others and try to [C]find a way to [G]grow.
And now [G]I just look around and I'm going to [D]reap the seeds I've sown.
And I try to [G]picture myself in Oslo but [C]lord help me if I [Cmaj7]go.
I've been [Em]running around and I be[D]lieve it's starting to [G]show.
Chorus 3:
And so I'll [C]cross the River Jor[G]dan
And if it [D]just don't feel the [G]same.
And I'm [C]not home Friday [G]morning
I'll have [Em]no one but my[D]self to [C]blame.[G]
