 (Note: there's a lot of palm muting going on in this song, mainly when the C chord
 is played in the first 2 verses.
 just have a listen to the song to get it, though it sounds fine without it).
   *palm mute*  (x5)  *palm mute*  *palm mute*
 I  believe nowhere is a better place to be
 Than not knowing where you're going now
I  said education is a better state of mind
 But I'd trade all my books to find a home
 If  I made bets on a better time
 I'd lose my money every single dime
 I  believe moss on a rolling stone
 Is better than the rust that's growing on my house
'Cause  it eats  at you sometimes
 The  more you struggle
 More you fight  it
 More it clings  to you at night
 The more you wonder
 More you dream
 The more you pray  it starts to die
 And it does
 Though it kicks  you in the side
 Yes it does
 Though it takes  a little time
   (x5)  *palm mute*  *palm mute*
 I believe  heaven is a pretty place to stay
 But not knowing scares me half to death
 I believe  God is a bigger man than me
 But sometimes I think that I can fight  him
 We kicked  the devil on a friday night
 Just about lost when he came in close and tight
 Took  him with a punch to his gritty chin
 Asked him to please not come back here again
But  he eats  at me sometimes
The  more you struggle
 More you fight  it, More he  clings to you at night
 The more you wonder,  More you dream
 The more you pray  he starts to die
 And it does,  Though he kicks  you in the side
 Yes it does,  Though it takes  a little time
 
 I believe  home is a place that I will get someday
 If someone just will hold  me
 I believe  hope is a thing that I will find some time
 If someone just will show  me
 I  believe love is given, going, gone
 Come back to kiss me on the forehead
 I  believe moss on a rolling stone
 Is better than the rust that's growing on my home
'Cause  it eats  at me sometimes
The  more I struggle,  More I fight  it
 More it clings  to me at night,  The more I wonder
 More I dream,  The more I pray  it starts to die
 And it does
 Though it kicks  you in the side
 Yes it does
 Though it takes  a little time
