Capo 6

Intro:
G G G G 
G G G G

G   D/F#   Em    Em    
Steady and timeless, 
  Em     D/F#    G    G
a harder wave to ride 
      G   D/F#  Em     Em    
Seems crazy and reckless 
   Em    Em/D    C    C
to see the other side 

G  D/F#   Em   Em    
Roses and ashes with 
Em    D/F#     G    G
roses still to spare 
    G     D/F#     Em     Em   
How wrong to never question,
   Em      Em/D        C    C  
To kneel too late, too bare 

       C               C
Having seen that spark 
     Em                Em
From within your heart 
      C                         D
I can only think how proud he'd be 

  G     D/F#     Em       Em
I pulled shut my car door 
     Em  D/F#  G   G
Kept winter at bay 
    G     D/F#      Em          Em
You poured out your heart break 
    Em  Em/D  C   C
The only real way 

         C             C
What you gave was sewn 
       Em               Em
In the earth we'd grown 
          C                 D
Where the new loves roam so free 

      C              C
And tomorrow's pain, 
        Em          Em
Changes paths again, 
         C              D   
needing all the love it finds
