[Intro]
G Am C D G Gsus4 G
[Verse 1]
G Am
The thin horizon of a plan is almost clear,
C D G Gsus4 G
My friends and I have had a tough time
G Am
Bruising our brains hard up against change;
C D G Gsus4 G
All the old dogs and the magician
G Am
Now I see we're in the boat in two-by-twos,
C D G Gsus4 G
Only the heart that we have for a tool we could use
G Am
And the very close quarters are hard to get used to;
C D G Gsus4 G
Love weighs the hull down with its weight
[Chorus]
G Am
But the wood is tired, and the wood is old,
C D G Gsus4 G
And we'll make it fine, if the weather holds.
G Am
But if the weather holds, we'll have missed the point;
C D G
That's where I need to go.
[Fill]
G Am C D
[Verse 2]
G Am
No way construction of this tricky plan
C D G Gsus4 G
Was built by other than a greater hand
G Am
With a love that passes all our understanding
C D G Gsus4 G
Watching closely over the journey, yeah.
G Am
But what it takes to cross the great divide
C D G Gsus4 G
Seems more than all the courage I can muster up inside.
G Am
But we get to have some answers when we reach the other side
C D G Gsus4 G
The prize is always worth the rocky ride.
[Chorus]
G Am
But the wood is tired, and the wood is old,
C D G Gsus4 G
And we'll make it fine, if the weather holds.
G Am
But if the weather holds, we'll have missed the point;
C D Em B E
That's where I need to go.
[Verse 3]
A Bm
Sometimes I ask to sneak a closer look;
E A Asus4 A
Skip to the final chapter of the book
A Bm
And then maybe steer us clear from some of the pain it took
E C D/C
To get us where we are this far.
G Am
But the question drowns in its futility,
C D G Gsus4 G
Even I have got to laugh at me.
G Am
No one gets to miss the storm of what will be
C D G Gsus4 G
Just holding on for the ride.
[Chorus]
G Am
But the wood is tired, and the wood is old,
C D G Gsus4 G
And we'll make it fine, if the weather holds.
G Am
But if the weather holds, we'll have missed the point;
C D G
That's where I need to go.
