Four Years Lyrics

Intro:
Verse 1:
All my friends have
gone away Sailing
vessels leaving the
bay For the best
four years and the
promise of pay But
they don't even know
what they're chasing
Greater men have
tried and failed
Chorus 1:
And all this time
I thought that I'd
stay As a ghost who
would haunt this
mountain And all
this time I thought
that I'd stay Alive
in the ground
digging out my coffin
Verse 2:
Time was short on
courts and pavement
We knew we had to
leave But did I make
the most of every day
And did I give to not
receive? Are there any
better words to express
the full extent of my
grief? It hits home
It hits home when
you're not home
where you're not home
There's no space to
grow and all this
time not much to show
Chorus 2:
And all this time
I thought that I'd
stay As a ghost who
would haunt this
mountain Maybe I
should hold my tongue
And do my best to live
with the stress that's
mounting I never thought
I never thought a bond
was something we lacked
I gotta find another way
A Bm A G(hold)
to keep myself intact
Interlude: G D/F# A G D/F# D x2
Bridge:
I understand we all
went away so we could
have the stories to
share when we're back
Try to pass the same
old sh*t to get a ahead
and start your paper
stack I never thought
I never thought a bond
was something we lacked
I guess some of us just
needed a change to heal
the bones we cracked
Interlude: G D/F# A D Bm A x2
Outro:
It takes four years
away from your friends
To make you all forget
A D Bm A G(hold)
how much time you spent
