How many Times Must I Fall Down?

[6m] How many roads must I walk down
[3m] before I can sleep in the [6m] sand?
How many times must I fall down
before I can take someone’s hand?

How many doors must I kick in
Before I find the magic one?
How many dreams must I tear apart
before I see how it’s all done?

How did I get here?
Where have I been?
How long have I been this way?
I re-member a time
I re-member a place
I just don’t re-member theĀ  way

How many clowns
does it take to screw down
a reason for a man to exist?
How many times
must i see the same light?
there must be something I missed…

How did I get here?

Notes/Memo

[In the video I have my capo on 2nd fret — but with the guitar tuned 1/2 step down (that’s how I keep my accompaniment guitars since my voice dropped over the last 10 or 15 years)]
