Ron Sexsmith – Impossible World (Guitar)

C                 Dm           G7
Lord if you will, lend me your ear

   C                   Em              F
It seems like this old world's beyond repair

    C                       G
But tell me does it have to be

       C                Dm               G7
Can we summon the will, come up with the faith

          C                Em            F
There are those who say we haven't got a prayer

    C                       G
Nor have we the strength to bear

                C    Dm  G7  C
This impossible world

C                  Dm           G7
Death if you will, give me your hand

    C                          Em          F
For there are some things I'll never understand

      C                  G
Could someone explain to me

C               Dm       G7
How many lives, how many tears

     C              Em                  F
Must fall before we learn we're going nowhere

    C                  G
Not unless we learn to share

                C
This impossible world

          F                       C
Is that a tear in the eye of the storm

          F                    C
A hint of fear in the relative calm

    F                      C                Dm              G
It appears all attempts to feel so safe and warm are all in vain, oh

     C               Dm        G7
When I was a child I opened my eyes

      C               Em       F
And beheld a world of possibility

       C                      G
Though now all there seems to be

                 C
Is an impossible world

                F                      C
Still there's a song that I sing in my heart

          F                       C
There's a light that I see in the dark

      F                     C               Dm              G
And a voice that has softly whispered to my soul do not be afraid

C                 Dm           G7
Lord If you will, lend me your ear

   C                   Em               F
It seems like this old world's beyond repair

   C                       G
Oh tell me does it have to be

                   C
Such an impossible world
