D
make it so the handsome way of what never was
A                 G
turns to overcast what has become
D
do away with that which makes a moment so discreet
A                              G
we hesitate, ashamed to really laugh or really weep


A                                G                  D
maybe man is worth the weight of what his eyes have seen 
G               D                A            G
maybe there's a branch of wonder left here to believe
A                              G             D
there are places with horizons above a level ground
G                      D              A                  G
a man's as much as the love he leaves behind in northern towns


D
make it so what makes us mindful without reprimand
A                    G
fall behind the eyes of every man
D
if the story of our lives becomes our sufferings penned and left
A                               G
begin to recount every time you ever really wept

A                                G                  D
maybe man is worth the weight of what his eyes have seen 
G               D                A            G
maybe there's a branch of wonder left here to believe
A                              G             D
there are places with horizons above a level ground
G                      D              A                  G
a man's as much as the love he leaves behind in northern towns
