 My arms are tired and weary

D
 I'm lost in the waves that crush me

D                            A         G
 They bring discovery where darkness hides
Just over the ridge in front of you
Bm          A                   G        D
  Another mountain that you'll have to climb
[Chorus]

Bm                      A/C#
  We're a child in the car asleep

D                    G
 In the driveway at night

Bm                   A/C#
 Our mother's gonna slowly sneak

D            G
 Our body inside

Bm                   A/C#
 We can rest in the arms of trust

D                          G
 There's no way that we can say

Bm                  A/C#
  We've earned our way into light

        D                  G        Gsus4  G
All we have to do to is stay
[Chorus]

[Outro] --> See the Jooba Youtube Tutorial for these chords
Gm                      D
  I've been battling a broken heart

Gm                     D
  Everybody knows I'm torn apart

D                         E
  Since I was eight years old and I thought that

Em         D
God was a girl in my school

Gm                      D
  If we can wind up on a sandy beach

Gm                         D
   Breathin' air that only death can reach

G                           Gm
  And singing songs that only heaven leaves

       D        E
It's okay with me

Gm                          D
  And God is wanting us to make believe

Gm                          D
  But knowing something is only a dream

     G                        Gm
Like    the absolutes and the in-between

     D                E                      Em
Are out of line, sometimes, intertwined, behind

           D
A mind, in line, and fights that only fools are still trying to fight
