Intro: B --


Verse 1:
B                  E
  A line of strands to mark the trail
E          F#            B
No one said  it would be easy
B
  I must admit
E                    E
  I thought that risk was better 
F#               B
waged in younger seasons


Refrain 1::
              G#m
And all these years in the cold 
     B
play hell on the throat
      E
Until everything I say 
           B
burns like cinders


Chorus 2:
         B         F#/Bb
But it's hard to belong 
     G#m       F#
to a girl or a song
       E            F#        B
In the crease of a strangling winter
      B            F#/Bb
It's strange to be lost
          G#m        F#
Stranger still to be lone on 
     R           F#       B
the strings of a twisting line


Verse 2:
B              E
  Along the way the 
turns are sharp
E          F#
No one said  they 
         B
would be easy
B
  I must admit 
E                   E
  I thought the trip was better 
F#              B
made in younger seasons


Refrain 2:
              G#m
But all these years in pursuit 
       B
made a man of a fool
     E                      B
Till every word I say is on waver


Chorus 2:
          B         F#/Bb
Well it's hard to belong 
     G#m       F#
To a girl or a song 
       E         F#
In the case of a selfish believer
      B            F#/Bb
It's strange to be lost 
 G#m              F#
Stranger still to belong on 
     E           F#       B
the strings in a twisting line 


Interlude: B--E--E-F#-B-


(Repeat Chorus 2)


Outro:
B              F#/Bb       G#m
  And when the path I have made 
         F#           E
From the grass to the grave
       F#        B
I will love you still
B              F#/Bb         G#m
  And when the sand turns to glass 
               F#          E
And all that's left is the past
       F#        B (hold)
I will love you still
