TUNING: C# Standard (Down a Step and a Half)
Tab by: Brodie Widdifield


NOTE: Listen for the changing in Em/Esus2, it changes more then once each time. Also, 
the verses, the bass plays a D after each Em chord, transcending into the C, but the 
doesn?t always.

Intro:
C G Em/E9
C G Em/E9 D   x3

C                     G               Em/E9
It?s no wonder I?ve felt so tired
C                          G                   Em/E9  D5
I?ve witnessed the careless all running past me
C                  G           Em/E9
While I?ve been told to ignore my desires
C                        G            Em/E9  D5
And grow numb with understanding

Am
I walk through theses woods
G
I carry this deadwood
Am             G            D
I am determined to see this through
Am                 G
Driven only by the guilt and the shame of giving up
Am              G                D
I must complete what I set out to do - For you

C                 G                 Em/E9
It stayed on a shelf made of my arms
C                        G      Em/E9   D5
They had grown strong from giving support
C                        G          Em/E9
I knew that my arms could hold out forever
C            G        Em/E9
It was my mind that?d grow tired

Am               G
It?s been so long since I have questioned
Am         G       D
What it is that I really want
Am            G
Instead I follow your directions
Am                 G
As you lead me on
          D                 C
I can?t use it to build my home
Em    D                      C      D
It will not fulfill my desires
Em   D                  C                             D
Some wood can be used to help build a life
Em   D                C                         D    Em
This wood will be used for building a fire

Em D5 C9 D9 Em

E9            Em
Why carry this deadwood with me?
E9            Em
?when were I?m going there will be living trees

C             B5 C                     B5 A5 B5
Now close enough to carry it all to the end
C                    D5
But throwing it all to the ground instead

Solo: Em D C5 C5/B C5/A

Em
This bundle of deadwood
D
The pieces they fall
             C5                              C5/B
Corners indent the soil and accumulate on one another
            C5/A
Tumble down and pile up

Em                 D
It awkwardly spills like myself at a time
            C5
Like the time it had killed
                C5/B                 C5/A
Like every moment after it was collected and held

Bm         D A      E
I?d give up all that I started
Bm  D    A            E
To pursue all that I wanted
Bm     D     A       E
I may arrive empty handed
Bm    D              A        E
But at least I will arrive
