Pretty cool, easy song from the Definitive Act. I didn't write out the exact
rhythms for all the song, so you'll have to listen to it to figure it out.
Nothing's too complicated. Feel free to email me with questions/comments,
whatever. Have fun

I never thought it mattered, never thought it mattered so much to me
exactly where I put my feet, I was wrong.
I drink a strong cup of coffee. A long time ago, I had a home.
A corner where I could be alone.
Chorus:
It sounds like there are two guitars here, one is playing chords, the other
doing octaves, i'll write out both ways, both sound almost the same, but just
for the hell of it, you can play either and it will work. Listen to the song for
the strumming.

So goodbye my solid ground. I'm an engine, I won't break down.
E5 A5
A lonely chord without a song,
B5 C#5 G#5 A5
searching for an orchestration where I belong.

Like a leaf without a tree, nothing to cover over me.
I'm like a character from a story, I don't exist.
