(Capo 5)

Em   C      G             Em  C  G
I am holding half an acre
Em            C     G      Em  C  G
torn from the map of Michigan
Em         C       G           Em  C  G
and folded in this scrap of paper
     F      C       G
is a land I grew in

Em       C      G                     Em  C  G
Think of every town you've lived in
Em    C     G                 Em  C  G
every room you lay your head
    Em       C       G              Em  C  G
and what is it that you remember?

       F     C     G       Em
Do you carry every sadness with you
F     C         G         Em 
every hour your heart was broken
F     C         G        Em 
every night the fear and darkness
F         C        G
lay down with you

A man is walking on the highway
A woman stares out at the sea
and light is only now just breaking

So we carry every sadness with us
every hour our hearts were broken
every night the fear and darkness
lay down with us

But I am holding half an acre
torn from the map of Michigan
I am carrying this scrap of paper

that can crack the darkest sky wide open
every burden taken from me
every night my heart unfolding
my home
