G5 G5 A5 A5 D5 D5 G5 C5 D5 - G5 C5 {guitar intro} G5 G5 A5 A5 The thin horizon of a plan is almost clear D5 G5 G5 My friends and I have had a tough time G5 G5 A5 A5 We're bruising our brains, hard up against change D5 G5 G5 All the old dogs and the magician Now I see we're in the boat in two by two's Only the heart that we have for a tool we could use And the very close quarters are hard to get used to Love weighs the hull down with its weight G5 G5 A5 A5 But the wood is tired, and the wood is old D5 G5 G5 And we'll make it fine, if the weather holds G5 G5 A5 A5 But if the weather holds, we'll have missed the point D5 D5 - G5 C5 D5 - G5 C5 That's where I need to go No way construction of this tricky plan Was built by other than a greater hand With a love that passes all our understading Watching closely over the journey Yeah, but what it takes to cross the great divide Seems all the courage I can muster up inside But we get to have some answers when we reach the other side The prize is always worth the rocky ride But the wood is tired, and the wood is old And we'll make it fine, if the weather holds But if the weather holds then we'll have missed the point D5 E5 B5 E5 E5 That's where I need to go A5 A5 Sometimes I ask to sneak a closer look E5 E5 A5 A5 Skip to the final chapter of the book A5 A5 And then maybe steer us clear from some of the pain it took E5 E5 C5 D5 D5 To get us where we are this far, this far ( G5 ) But the question drowns in its futility And even I have got to laugh at me Because no on gets to miss the storm of what will be Just holding on for the ride And the wood is tired, and the wood is old And we'll make it fine if the weather holds But if the weather holds then we'll have missed the point That's where I need to go - Adam Schneider, schneider@pobox.com
