----------------------------- Thanks to Chris Knestrick ([email protected]) for the start. The D5-G-C-D5 part is probably totally wrong; forgive me. [Intro] G G A7sus4 Asus4 C(9) D D5 - G C - D5 D5 - G C - D5

G             G           A7sus4       A7sus4
  The thin horizon of a plan is almost clear

C(9)             D                     G
  My friends and I have had a tough time

      G              G          A7sus4       A7sus4
We're bruising our brains, hard up against change

C(9)           D               G    G
  All the old dogs and the magician

Now I see we're in the boat in two by two's Only the heart we have for a tool we can use And the very close quarters are hard to get used to Love weighs the hull down with its weight

                G     G                A7sus4  A7sus4
But the wood is tired, and the wood is old

                  C(9)  D                 G   G
And we'll make it fine,  if the weather holds

                   G     G                      A7sus4  A7sus4
But if the weather holds, we'll have missed the point

C(9)           D        G(9) - G   C - D5     D5 - G   C - D5
That's where I need to go

No way construction of this tricky plan Was built by other than a greater hand With a love that passes all our understading Watching closely over the journey Yeah, but what it takes to cross the great divide Seems all the courage I can muster up inside But we get to have some answers when we reach the other side The prize is always worth the rocky ride But the wood is tired, and the wood is old And we'll make it fine, if the weather holds But if the weather holds then we'll have missed the point

C(9)           D        Em   B7   E   E
That's where I need to go

A A Bm7(4) Bm7(4) Sometimes I ask to sneak a closer look

E             Esus4          A          A
  Skip to the final chapter of the book

A A Bm7(4) Bm7(4) And then maybe steer us clear from some of the pain that it took

E                    Esus4     C    C     D   D
  To get us where we are this far,   this far

(G)
But the question drowns in its futility

And even I have got to laugh at me Because no on gets to miss the storm of what will be Just holding on for the ride And the wood is tired, and the wood is old And we'll make it fine if the weather holds But if the weather holds then we'll have missed the point That's where I need to go
