Looking for a Way Out/There was a Time
Sauget Wind EP

These chords are for the earlier version of the song, when it was called
"There was a Time"- this is how it sounds on the b-side of Sauget Wind.
Intro:
/
When you find you can somehow
Make it like all the rest
You won't need to scrounge around for someone else
Torn between the unknown
And the place you call home
And the life you want but have never known
There was a time
You could put it out of your mind
And leave it all behind
There was a time
And that time is gone
What has life for 50 years
In this town done for you
Except to earn your name and place on a barstool
You spend your whole life in this county
You've never been out of state
You say you're going to make it out before it's too late
There was a time
You could put it out of your mind
And leave it all behind
There was a time
And that time is gone
There was a time when nothing seemed to make much sense
Now that's turned more intense
And all the grudges you've kept around
Now are nowhere to be found
(Hammer on the 6th string, 2nd fret - then hammer 5th string, second fret,
then play the E note, 4th string, second fret, then play D chord)
Remember when you didn't have
To look ahead or behind you
There was always something right there to do
But now it's locked (maybe "life"- I dunno) in some kind of trap
Looking for a way out
We keep moving on that's what it's all about
There was a time
You could put it out of your mind
And leave it all behind
There was a time
And that time is gone
