make it so the handsome way of what never was
A5                 G5
turns to overcast what has become
D5
do away with that which makes a moment so discreet
A5                              G5
we hesitate, ashamed to really laugh or really weep


A5                                G5                  D5
maybe man is worth the weight of what his eyes have seen 
G5               D5                A5            G5
maybe there's a branch of wonder left here to believe
A5                              G5             D5
there are places with horizons above a level ground
G5                      D5              A5                  G5
a man's as much as the love he leaves behind in northern towns


D5
make it so what makes us mindful without reprimand
A5                    G5
fall behind the eyes of every man
D5
if the story of our lives becomes our sufferings penned and left
A5                               G5
begin to recount every time you ever really wept

A5                                G5                  D5
maybe man is worth the weight of what his eyes have seen 
G5               D5                A5            G5
maybe there's a branch of wonder left here to believe
A5                              G5             D5
there are places with horizons above a level ground
G5                      D5              A5                  G5
a man's as much as the love he leaves behind in northern towns

should be about right
