7 Cords
Music & Lyrics by Ryan Hommel

All at once the fire up and turned to smoke
Now I can’t remember the last time we spoke
Counting days is not my thing
But since you’ve taken off my ring
I’m knee deep in seven cords of oak
Chopping away, chopping away
And my heart is just as broke

All my true friends say that you’re a piece of trash
For leaving me here to questions our whole sweet past
By the way you turned on me
I think you’ve been out of love for a year or three
Now all I got are these seven cords of ash
Chopping away, chopping away
But it all burns up in a flash

I am proud to say that I’m now able
To hear your voice without a bottle on the table
But I’m sorry to decline
We’ll catch up another time
I’m knee deep in seven cords of maple
Chopping away, chopping away
As hard as I am able

The word out on the street is that you’re doing fine
And although I never wished you pain of any kind
It’ll take me twice as long
Just to see what I did wrong
I’m knee deep in seven cords of pine
Chopping away, chopping away
Oh, chopping away, chopping away
‘Til I get to the center of my mind
