Intro:
F C Am/Asus2
F C Am/Asus2 C x3
F C Am/Asus2
It's no wonder I've felt so tired
F C Am/Asus2 G5
I've witnessed the careless all running past me
F C Am/Asus2
While I've been told to ignore my desires
F C Am/Asus2 G5
And grow numb with understanding
Dm
I walk through theses woods
C
I carry this deadwood
Dm C C
I am determined to see this through
Dm C
Driven only by the guilt and the shame of giving up
Dm C C
I must complete what I set out to do - For you
F C Am/Asus2
It stayed on a shelf made of my arms
F C Am/Asus2 G5
They had grown strong from giving support
F C Am/Asus2
I knew that my arms could hold out forever
F C Am/Asus2
It was my mind that'd grow tired
Dm C
It's been so long since I have questioned
Dm C C
What it is that I really want
Dm C
Instead I follow your directions
Dm C
As you lead me on
C F
I can't use it to build my home
Am C F C
It will not fulfill my desires
Am C F C
Some wood can be used to help build a life
Am C F C Am
This wood will be used for building a fire
Am G5 Fsus2 Gsus2 Am
Asus2 Am
Why carry this deadwood with me…
Asus2 Am
…when were I'm going there will be living trees
F E5 F E5 D5 E5
Now close enough to carry it all to the end
F G5
But throwing it all to the ground instead
Solo: Am C F5 F5/A F5/D
Am
This bundle of deadwood
C
The pieces they fall
F5 F5/A
Corners indent the soil and accumulate on one another
F5/D
Tumble down and pile up
Am C
It awkwardly spills like myself at a time
F5
Like the time it had killed
F5/A F5/D
Like every moment after it was collected and held
Am C D A
I'd give up all that I started
Am C D A
To pursue all that I wanted
Am C D A
I may arrive empty handed
Am C D A
But at least I will arrive
