Intro: A 
 
A            E 
 hindsight's giving me 
D         A      A4 A 
 too much memory 
D                 A          A4 A   
 there's too much never seen 
          E 
 but it's always there 
         D 
cuz it's everywhere 
 
taking my own advice 
worked out for me nice 
but now I come to find 
the tricks we play 
with human brains 
 
E                                  D 
they don't want to think about the other side 
is that grass just greener cause it's fake 
                    F#m 
cuz that's all that we've been told 
              E 
since we were five years old 
                  D          D 
is that all we'll ever know 
 
hide this tab D                        D

hindsight brings me down 
it keeps me on the ground 
and though I'm never proud 
I wouldn't dare 
if you weren't there 
 
the thing with gettin' up 
feels like giving up 
feels like not enough 
you eat a crumb 
and waste a loaf 
 
they don't want to talk about the other side 
where the grass was greener than they said 
cuz this doesn't bring to mind 
what I'd expect to find 
they must be color blind 
 
Instrumental like verse 
 
           A     E D 
what about canada   
           A 
what about canada 
     E 
this paradise 
   D 
of pines and ice 
 
morning comes in freight ships while you're sleeping 
bad into ideas was no surprise 
we'll wait till the wild has rights 
then never lock doors at night 
and kiss all those wars goodbye
