I couldn't find a tab with all the completely right parts so I tried to tab it myself.
Some parts i'm not sure on which one of two to play though so i've included both
versions and you can decide for yourself. If you have any questions you can email me at
Reese847@yahoo.com or Paperclipmassacreof85@yahoo.com.

| I got evicted now i'm living on the street My spirits lifted.. oh wait, that wasnt me Too many turns have turned out to be wrong This time I learned that, i knew it all along I really like this part, especially the second line. Things get better in life and we feel better, but then we realize that it isn't us, it's God. | |

| You know i really dont think that the specific lyrics in this mean anything in particular like in some songs. like 'evicted' doesnt really mean condemned or anything. i think this whole song would mean just as much if i said "forward motion is hard" over and over. i dont think i would love it as much if it was like that tho | |

| This song is so awesome. I guess it means that it is hard to accomplish things important, hence the "forward motion" theme.. | |
