Verse 1
G
Am
The thin horizon of a plan is almost clear
C
D
My friends and I have
G
had a tough time
Bruising our brains hard
Am
C
G
up against change
C
D
G
All the old dogs and the magician
Now I see we're in the
Am
boat in two by twos
C
Only the heart that we have
D
G
for a tool we could use
And the very close quarters
Am
D
are hard to get used to
C
D
Love weighs the hull down
G
with its weight
But the wood is tired and the
Am
wood is old
C
And we'll make it fine
D
G
if the weather holds
But if the weather holds we'll have
Am
missed the point
C
D
That's where I need to go

Was built by other than a greater hand
With a love that passes all

Watching closely over the journey
Yeah but what it takes to cross
Am

C
D
Seems more than all the courage
G
I can muster up inside
Although we get to have some answers
Am
when we reach the other side
C
D
The prize is always worth
G
the rocky ride
Am
But the wood is tired and the wood is old
C
D
G
And we'll make it fine if the weather holds
But if the weather holds we'll have
Am
missed the point

To get us where we are this far yeah
G
But the question drowns
Am
C
in it's futil ity
D
G
And even I have got to laugh at me
No one gets to miss the
Am
C
storm of what will be
D

Just holding on for the ride
The wood is tired and the
Am

wood is old

We'll make it fine if the
