Key: B5

Tuning: Standard EADGBe




Intro: B5 --


Verse 1:
B5                  E5
  A line of strands to mark the trail
E5          F#5            B5
No one said  it would be easy
B5
  I must admit
E5                    E5
  I thought that risk was better 
F#5               B5
waged in younger seasons


Refrain 1::
              G#5
And all these years in the cold 
     B5
play hell on the throat
      E5
Until everything I say 
           B5
burns like cinders


Chorus 2:
         B5         F#5
But it's hard to belong 
     G#5       F#5
to a girl or a song
       E5            F#5        B5
In the crease of a strangling winter
      B5            F#5
It's strange to be lost
          G#5        F#5
Stranger still to be lone on 
     R           F#5       B5
the strings of a twisting line


Verse 2:
B5              E5
  Along the way the 
turns are sharp
E5          F#5
No one said  they 
         B5
would be easy
B5
  I must admit 
E5                   E5
  I thought the trip was better 
F#5              B5
made in younger seasons


Refrain 2:
              G#5
But all these years in pursuit 
       B5
made a man of a fool
     E5                      B5
Till every word I say is on waver


Chorus 2:
          B5         F#5
Well it's hard to belong 
     G#5       F#5
To a girl or a song 
       E5         F#5
In the case of a selfish believer
      B5            F#5
It's strange to be lost 
 G#5              F#5
Stranger still to belong on 
     E5           F#5       B5
the strings in a twisting line 


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


(Repeat Chorus 2)


Outro:
B5              F#5       G#5
  And when the path I have made 
         F#5           E5
From the grass to the grave
       F#5        B5
I will love you still
B5              F#5         G#5
  And when the sand turns to glass 
               F#5          E5
And all that's left is the past
       F#5        B5 (hold)
I will love you still
