Chords

 G                              D
The road is longer than it is hard

D                     Cmaj7
With no one to guide you

Cmaj7               D
And no one to hold

G                       D
No best foot forward to sway the odds

D               Cmaj7
Just a voice inside you

Cmaj7              D
And a stone to throw

G
Could you be someone else

D
If someone else is what I need

Cmaj7                     D
But I shouldn't ask that of you

G
When you are old you will understand

D
But we are hurting now

D                       Cmaj7
So what are we to do 'til then?

Cmaj7              D
Cradling pictures of you

                G
It was a highway to nowhere, and we rode it

D
Cold car with no gas and we chose it

Cmaj7                          D
Soft bodies playing in the street

G                               D
Our kids will grow up with half as much

D                               Cmaj7
Trying to build something out of dust

Cmaj7                           D
Finding out too late what they need

G                               D
You have tasted love and it tasted sweet

D                       C
You drank the blood and bit the meat

Cmaj7                           D
You hold it, you hold it, you let it go

G                       D
You close your eyes and count to three

D                       C
You say the word and come to me

Cmaj7      D
And baby I know
G D Cmaj7 D G D Cmaj7 D
D                               G
Drive the pathway through the pines

                D
And the moors of mystery

                Cmaj7
Welcome conflict and let the crisis come

         D
And shake the ground beneath

              G
And the family secret hiding

                D
In the farmhouse down the street

             Cmaj7                        D
Rushes open door on your front porch and shadow me

G                               D
Taken and entirely, I embrace the bonny beast

Cmaj7                                   D
Over hills and highlands we rode hard, the passing peaks

G                                       D
Danger liked the virgin wife, beside me she would sleep

Cmaj7                                   D
Cherry was her dad's truck that she crashed at seventeen

G                                               D
I kneel before what temper broke the branches on the beach

C                                       Cmaj7                   D
And those thrilling highs and southern nights are always out of reach

D               G
I learned a lesson

D
I need to pray and hard

                Cmaj7                              D
Final hours take care of me, God (take care of me God)

G                               D
You have tasted love and it tasted sweet

D                               C
You drank the blood and bit the meat

C               Cmaj7           D
You hold it, you hold it, you let it go

G                               D
You close your eyes and count to three

D                               C
You say the word and come to me

C               D
And baby I know

Just a voice inside you

Don't sink in me with your dog teeth

Don't sink in me

You hold it, you hold it, but you'll never know

G
You close your eyes and cry to me

D
Don't sink in me with your dog teeth

C                               D
We're better off if you let go
G D C D G D C D
G
If it was harder then

It will be better now

For I am here and changed

I couldn't tell you how

G                                       D
There before the grace of God go I

C
laughing to myself

D
Forgetting what about
G D C
