G C G The thin horGizon of a plA7sus4an is almost A7sus4clear C My friends aDnd I have had a tough GtimeG We're Gbruising our bGrains, hard A7sus4up against chA7sus4ange C All the olDd dogs and the mGagiciGan
Now I see we're in the boat in two by two's Only the heart that we have for a tool we could use And the very close quarters are hard to get used to Love weighs the hull down with its weight
But the wood is Gtired,G and the wood is A7sus4old A7sus4 And we'll make it CfinDe, if the weatherG holGds But if the weather Gholds,G we'll have missed the A7sus4point A7sus4 CThat's whereD I need tD/F#o go

No way construction of this tricky plan Was built by other than a greater hand With a love that passes all our understading Watching closely over the journey Yeah, but what it takes to cross the great divide Seems all the courage I can muster up inside But we get to have some answers when we reach the other side The prize is always worth the rocky ride But the wood is tired, and the wood is old And we'll make it fine, if the weather holds But if the weather holds then we'll have missed the point
CThat's whereD I need tEmo go B7 E E A A Bm7(4) Bm7(4) Sometimes I ask to sneak a closer look E Skip to the Efinal chapter oAsus9f the book A A A Bm7(4) Bm7(4) And then maybe steer us clear from some of the pain it took E To get us where we Eare this fCar,C thDsus4is far D
(G) But the question drowns in its futility And even I have got to laugh at me Because no on gets to miss the storm of what will be Just holding on for the ride And the wood is tired, and the wood is old And we'll make it fine if the weather holds But if the weather holds then we'll have missed the point That's where I need to go - Adam Schneider, schneider@pobox.com
