Kathy Mattea – The Slender Thread That Binds Us Here (Guitar)

F6  C       G          F        C
The dawn of youth, the twilight years

    F      Am       G
The tender night we hold so dear

F6  C      G    F        C
The memory of a smile, a tear

    F       Am          G        C    F6 C
The slender thread that binds us here

           G              F
I know the way from here

          C              F
Trying to hide my tears

           Am           G              F6 C
Crying for grace at the end of the day

          G  
I want to hold you and

F         C 
Never let go, but I

F            Am               G         C 
Will come to find that you're slipping away

F6  C       G          F        C
The dawn of youth, the twilight years

    F      Am       G
The tender night we hold so dear

The memory of a smile, a tear

    F       Am          G        C    F6 C
The slender thread that binds us here

          G               F
I long to speak with you

         C    
I try to reach for you

F          Am                G             F6 C
Wake up to find that there's nobody home

        G              F
I walk away from here

            C 
Still I can feel you here

F       Am          G     C 
Forever with me, forever alone

   Em          F        G      C
So strong they hold, to be let go

    Bb         F         C        G
And still they're there, light as air

F6  C      G    F        C
The memory of a smile, a tear
