 (D major)  (G major)  (E minor)  (A major)  (D major) There will

D 
G 
Em 
whose  (D major) lives are  (G major) shaped like nothing  (E minor) known,
A 
the  (A major) steps you take
G

are not what  (G major) you've  (D major) been shown.
Em

Something  (E minor) in a rhythm or a  (D major) color or a word
Em 
A

An  (E minor) early love for  (A major) bugs or flying  (D major) birds
Bm 
So you carve out a  (B minor) path
G 
the others  (G major) never would have seen
Em 
A 
 (E minor) And when your  (A major) courage fails,
D 
you don't know  (D major) where to lean
Em 
But when there's  (E minor) something
D 
that you really love  (D major) 
Em 
A 
With your  (E minor) heart all  (A major) raw
D

It's a moment on the  (B minor) ocean
A 
G 
with  (A major) a  (G major) high wind blowing wild.
Em 
A 
 (E minor) The  (A major) lines are taut,
D 
the decks are sprayed  (D major) with salt.
Em 
Her  (E minor) hands are wet and icy
D 
as the  (D major) bow cuts through the waves.
Em 
A 
D 
Lines  (E minor) and tillers  (A major) speak the sailor's  (D major) craft
And though the salty air
sometimes can bring a
G 
Em 
 (G major) wind more clean and  (E minor) strong
A 
In that  (A major) starless night
D 
she knows where she  (D major) be longs
Em 
Oh, when there's  (E minor) something
D 
that you really love  (D major) 
Em

Now there's something
Bm 
D 
in the  (B minor) grain of  (D major) wood
G 
that  (G major) seems to call her name.
Em 
A 
 (E minor) Late at  (A major) night she's still up
G 
D 
sanding some  (G major) new  (D major) grain.
Em 
Her  (E minor) true love is for cherry
D 
with  (D major) it s colors auburn brown.
Em 
It  (E minor) takes the saw
A 
D 
like  (A major) nothing she has  (D major) known.
Bm 
And though two -by -fours an (B minor) d plywood
D 
G 
Em 
 (D major) are more  (G major) common in her  (E minor) trade,
A 
In her  (A major) heart, there is a glow
D 
Em 
D 
Em 
that  (D major) redwoods make.  (E minor)  (D major)  (E minor)

with my  (G major) hands on this guitar
Em 
A 
D 
 (E minor) Driving  (A major) far too many miles in my  (D major) old car
Em 
Oh,  (E minor) but every night
D 
there are the  (D major) songs that are just right
Em 
A 
D 
They  (E minor) cradle me from  (A major) darkness into  (D major) light
G 
And though the music seems as  (G major) fragile
D 
G 
 (D major) as the  (G major) smell of autumn rain,
Em 
A 
 (E minor) still  (A major) it sets me loose
D 
and brings me back  (D major) again.
Em 
Oh, when there's  (E minor) something
D 
that you really love,  (D major) 
G 
A

Bm 
So if there is some  (B minor) passion
Em 
G 
Em 
 (E minor) that seems  (G major) to pull you  (E minor) on
A 
Its  (A major) purpose and its worth
D 
not clearly  (D major) drawn
Em 
Listen  (E minor) to the hungers
D 
that it  (D major) sends down through your soul
Em 
A 
Nur (E minor) ture it with  (A major) time
D 
that makes  (D major) you whole
And if you should forget
G 
or lose your  (G major) way or feel alone
Em 
A 
 (E minor) Maybe these  (A major) small words
D 
will help to bring  (D major) you home
Em 
Oh, when there's  (E minor) something
D 
that you really love  (D major) 
Em 
A 
With your  (E minor) heart all  (A major) raw,
D 
I don't know  (D major) why
