Chords

INTRO: C Em F G (2x)
    C
I'm writing in the margins 

Em
Notes to me and you 

           F
'Cause the pages are all filled 

         G 
With new orders coming through 

     C
I am writing in the margins 

Em
Notes to you and me 

   F
So maybe we'll remember 

              G 
The good that didn't have to be 

     C
I am writing in the margins 

           Em
'Cause our days are spoken for 

         F
And your nights are with the restless 

         G 
Who were broken in this war 
Bridge:
  Am             
I stood twice and carried once 

    Em
And yes, I choose to serve 

          F
But there is no glory in it 

       G                   C
And my voice goes mostly unheard 
INSTRUMENTAL: Em F G
   C
We go when we are called 

                 Em
And hope there's wisdom in the voice 

       F
And we fall back on our training 

         G
When the moment leaves no choice 

     C
I am writing in the margins 

        Em
Getting closer to the edge 

     F
I am running out my time 

     G
I am walking on a ledge 

     C
I am writing in the margins 

  Em
A horse that's going blind 

        F
Staying focused on my mission 

      G
And attached to my behind 

     C
I am writing in the margins 

        Em
Listing all I need to fix 

            F
You know my job is still in transport 

       G
Today, twenty tons of bricks 

        C
There's not a lot of rich boys 

        Em
Wearing DCU's and sand 

         F
But I'll think about that later 

       G                  C
When I make it home again___
INSTRUMENTAL: Em F G
     C
I am writing in the margins 

       Em
In the outskirts of this town 

F
Peeking up at you 

       G
On the day you wore that gown 

  C
I guess I'll try to sleep now 

       Em
When I get this off to you 

        F
Knowing there is at least one thing 

        G
In this world that still is true 

     C                       Em
I am writing in the margins 

     F                       G
I am writing in the margins 

     C                       Em
I am writing in the margins

     F                       G
I am writing in the margins 

     C                       Em
I am writing in the margins

     F                       G  Dm  G  Dm  G   C
I am writing in the margins
