lyrics
So Hit Me Again
Baritone guitar tuned BEADF#B
Chords: D4 - 33oo33; E47 - 55oo55; [B4] - xo44oo; [E2] - xo22oo; [Cmaj7addb5] - xo55oo;
[D4] Standing strong standing tall
Willing to be different
[E47] Fallen branches fuel my fire to fight indifference
Walking the walk
[D4] Strengths in my foundation
Am reinforcing as an agent of change
[E47] Solid concrete block construction
To withstand a hurricane
Chorus [B4] [E2]
Drawing shade and strength from the trees on all sides
Tested by four strong winds
Brushed by fire
Take a hit again and again, still keeping standing
Reaching for the universe, anchored in earth’s land
[Cmaj7addb5] So hit me again, [B4] hit me again, [E2] hit me again
Weaknesses, no reserve power or batteries
Flat roof is easily lifted Florida room conversion in the late sixties
Fiberglass garage door full of holes and cracks that lets the light and insects in
Only one dead bolt on the wood door latch rattling in the shift
Talking the talk
Chorus 2
Working on those weaknesses
Now I’ve said too much
Waiting until the next angry storm blows my name
All I know is
At the end of the next heavy rain or hurricane
Anyone can look out the window
To check out the rainbow
So hit me again, hit me again, hit me again, hit me again, hit me again
