Indigo Girls - The Wood Song Chords

[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.

[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.
