Carrie Newcomer - Five years on

Here I sit smack dab in the middle ^{C C}Tomorrow is a crazy riddle I ^Gwish I had a crystal ball I ^Dwish I could see five years on ^Em

Like candle rockets, you and I ^C Ooh's and ah's and shouts and sighs ^{G G}Is this the storm before the calm? I ^Dwish I could see five years on_^C_

But I can't^G and you don't ^D And you try ^Emand I won't A ^Cbroken trust can ^Gbe repaired But it'll ^Dtake some time to ^Emget us there ^C And I will^G and you won't ^D And you try ^Emand I don't We ^Close a little ^Ghigher ground Every ^Dtime we go around ^Em

^EmWe always seem to look behind Say,^C “If I'd known at the time” ^{G G}There's no one to read my palm I ^Dwish I could see five years on ^Em

^EmIf we fail or if we fly No ^Cone can say that we didn't try ^{G G}Has the final card been drawn? I ^Dwish I could see five years on_^C_

But I can't^G and you don't ^D And you try ^Emand I won't A ^Cbroken trust can ^Gbe repaired But it'll ^Dtake some time to ^Emget us there ^C And I will^G and you won't ^D And you try ^Emand I don't We ^Close a little ^Ghigher ground Every ^Dtime we go around ^DEvery time we go around

And a^Cround and ^Ground We're ^Dlost, then we're ^Emfound We ^Ccan't change the ^Gwords The ^Dones we wish we hadn't heard ^Em

^EmThere's no map or twelve-step guide ^CWe do what we can't justify It's ^Galways dark before the dawn I ^Dwish I could see five years on ^Em

^EmI promised you and you promise me And^C still there are no guarantees Is ^Gthis the last verse of the song? I ^Dwish ^N.C.I could see five years on_^Em__ ^C

But I can't^G and you don't ^D And you try ^Emand I won't A ^Cbroken trust can ^Gbe repaired But it'll ^Dtake some time to ^Emget us there ^C And I will^G and you won't ^D And you try ^Emand I don't We ^Close a little ^Ghigher ground Every ^Dtime we go around
