Use chords from first verse).
Once I was a carpenter, man my hands were calloused
I could swing a metal mallet sure and straight
But I took to the highway, a poet young and hungry
and I left the timbers where they lay

For[F]ever I will move like the w[Fm]orld that turns beneath me
and when I l[C]ose my dir[Am]ection I'll lo[G]ok up to the sky
and when the bl[F]ack cloak drags upon the ground
I'll be re[Fm]ady to surrender, and rem[C]ember
well we're [Am]all in this tog[G]ether
If I l[F]ive the life I'm given,[Fm] I wont be scared to die

Verses 3+4. (Same as first two.)
And I don't come from Detroit, but her diesel motors pull me
and I followed till I finally lost my way
And now I spend my days in search of a woman we called purpose
And if I ever pass back through here town I'll stay

Same as first).

Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me
and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky
and when the black cloak drags upon the ground
I'll be ready to surrender, and remember
well we're all in this together
If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die

(Interlude again then that cool little riff).

And my life is but a coin, pulled from an empty pocket
Dropped into a slot with dreams of sevens close behind
And hope and fear go with it, and moon and the sun go spinning
Like the numbers and fruits before my eyes

[C]Sometimes I h[F]it, someti[G]mes it robs me bl[C]ind
Sometimes I hit, sometimes it robs me blind

Same as first two).

Forever I will move like the world that turns beneath me
and when I lose my direction I'll look up to the sky
and when the black cloak drags upon the ground
I'll be ready to surrender, and remember
well we're all in this together
If I live the life I'm given, I won't be scared to die

End on F

Can you n[C]ot see what you'[Em]ve done?
You [F]gave your heart a[G]way like that.
I didn't [C]want to fall in [Em]love,
with [F]anyone but you, [G]dear.
I can still [C]hear the [Em]song,
the m[F]elody be[G]hind the kiss,
you [C]gave me, you were [Em]wrong,
I was [F]right so I walked a[G]way,
and left you [C]there, a[Em]lone,
I g[F]ot so tired of [G]talking on the
[C]tele[Em]phone,
how [F]many times would we [G]say the words, "Good bye?"

RIFF*
I made [C]mistakes, and [Em]one,
was t[F]elling you that [G]I'd be there when
[C]telling time (?) had [Em]come,
I [F]should have said I didn't[G] care.
All the [C]time I would have [Em]saved,
If [F]I had been less [G]willing
to ac[C]comm[Em]odate,
you'd [F]been a littl[G]e less likely to cry.

RIFF*

[Am]You go back to the [G]high life,
and [Am]I'll go back to the [G]low.
[F]I should have known,
[G]But now I know.
There'll be no [C]word from [Em]you,
des[F]cribing how it [G]felt to go through
[C]what I put you [Em]through
It a[F]ll makes perfect [G]sense
the way you [C]cut the [Em]rope
that [F]kept you dangling [G]from such
pitif[C]ul amounts of [Em]hope,
[F]I would have cut it, [G]too.

[D] [G]

[G]Well I guess it's kinda funny how  [D]
[G]I loved you so way back when.          [C]
[G]You say I wouldn't know you no[D]w,

The compa[C]ny you're keeping        [G]
And from [Em](and from)
Someone (s[Bm]omeone)

In ke[D]eping us apart.

[Em]And so I go [Bm]out friday night a[Em]nd talk to anyone I can.[Am]               [Em]
If they can see me [Bm]they can hear me run my[Em] mouth.               [C]
[Em]I tell them al[Bm]l I'd love to see [Em]you once again    [Am]
Or maybe just run[Em] into you [G]hanging out,             [Am]

Hanging out.   [D]

You know[Em] (you know)
I l[Bm]ie (I lie)
So it com[C]es as no surprise       [G]
When I (Wh[Em]en I)
Can't hide[Bm] (Can't hide)
Don't reall[C]y want to reunite.   [D]

(Verse pattern)
[C]Hard to believe I won't s[G]ee you again
[Am]We were just fighting when w[Em7]inter began
[F]The coldness of our words [G]competing with the wind from the [C]north.  [G]

[C]Still they make me shiver but in a [G]very different way
[Am]The pages of the calendar kept [Em7]turning away
[F]I have some better words now but i[G]t's too late to say them to [C]you.   [G]

My dream of all dreams and my hope of all hopes
Is only to tell you and make sure you know
How much I love you and how much I always did.

And yes I know you loved me, I can see it in your eyes
And it was in your struggle and it was in your mind
And it was in the smile you gave me when I was a kid

(Chorus)
Feels like [C]no one u[Am]nderstands[G]
[C]And now m[Am]y only c[G]hance
To t[F]alk to y[G]ou is t[C]hrough  [Em7]my   p[Am]rayers.
I only [F]wanted to t[G]ell you I care[C]d

(Verse pattern)

Every night after and every day since,
I found myself crying when the memory hit.
Sometimes it knocks me down, sometimes I just put it away.

Down in my mind where I don't care to go
The pain of a lesson is letting me know
If you have love in your heart let it show while you can

Yes now I understand
But now my only chance
To talk to you is through my prayers.
I only wanted to tell you I cared.
I only wanted to tell you I cared.

Lyrics:

You may have to drag me away from my demons
Kicking and screaming
It's been so long now, I've been with them
Don't know where they stop and I begin

We draw a line in the sand
Will you cross it? Oh, will you die for this?
Got nothing to tell you that you don't
Through your sadness below, already know

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Live through the past again
How many times must I live through the past again?
No more

Truth beyond truth and by our design
It is very fine like Newman's wine
Oh, to be like him and walk a path
To lend a hand, do something worth a damn

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Live through the past again
How many times must I live through the past again?
No more, wait

You may have to drag me away from my demons
Kicking and screaming

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Live through the past again
How many times must I live through the past again?

[G]  [D]  [Em]  [C]

[G]One comes o[D]f it, [Em]love it, lo[C]ve it
[G]Let go [D]of it,[Em] love comes f[C]rom it
[G]We're not [D]of this [Em]world for [C]long.

[G]Faith and [D]promise [Em]keep me ho[C]nest
[G]When star[D]vation, [Em]falls up[C]on us
[G]Daylight [D]told me [Em]he would [C]be.

[G]  [D]  [Em]  [C]

[G]Gone with [D]cold words, [Em]spoke am[C]ong hers
[G]Wretched [D]is the [Em]tongue of th[C]eir world
[G]We're not [D]of that [Em]world at [C]all
[G]We will ne[D]ver [Em]be.

[Cm]Wouldn't it [G]be [D]fine to [Em]stand
[Bm]behind the w[C]ords we say in the b[G]est of ti[D]mes?
[G]Oh and [D]you and I know [Em]all too well
[Bm]about the hell and p[C]aradise r[G]ight h[Bm]ere on Ea[C]rth.   [D]

[G]Keep it [D]use it
[Em]Build it mo[C]ve it
[G]Flames can't [D]touch how [Em]time will pr[C]ove it
[G]Watch us [D]fly as [Em]loud as [C]we can
[G]Let her h[D]eart beat
[Em]Change what [C]I am n[D]ow.

[C]Wouldn't it [G]be [D]fine to [Em]stand
[Bm]behind the [C]words we say in the b[G]est of t[D]imes?
[G]Oh and [D]you and I know [Em]all too well
[Bm]about the hell and [C]paradise [G]right [Bm]here on E[C]arth.

[Cm]  [G]

END!
