Intro - C5 - C5 - C5 - C5 - C5 - C5 - C5 - G5 2x's 
   C5      C5         C5  C5 

It starts with plain geography
  C5     C5      C5   C5    G5 
A dozen ways to get to Tennessee 
C5         C5       C5    C5 
South and west and all the rest 
C5    C5   C5      C5      G5 
It's educational to some degree 
    A5           
I'm studying dead languages
   F5                                 D5 
In hopes that they might rise in melody 
              F5    G5            C5 (intro pattern) 
With a little speed from you to me 

God makes a tabernacle from 
A rock, a rib, and our two crooked frames 
And Houston at the airport where 
I saw you there and everything got changed 
A ticket home to somewhere north 
A compass and a map I could not read 
Tracing the path from you to me 

  F5               E5 
A ship out in the dark 
            F5           E5
The fog was heavy on my skin 
       F5                      E5
There appeared, though dim at first, 
           F5                  G5 
A house, a light that drew me in 

Instrumental - A5 - A5 - A5 - A5 - A5 - A5 - A5 - E5 - G5 

Bound by chords of kindnesses 
And vows that whisper after storms have stilled 
Against my calculations 
Clearly I did not dream big enough for this 
You and I are on the battlefield 
"I am a man, have mercy," did I plea 
            F5       D5
And love it bleeds 
            F5       D5 
And love it bleeds 
            F5       G5 
And love it bleeds 
            F5 - E5 - F5 - E5 - F5 - G5 - C5 
From you to me
