Intro:
Am D G Gsus4 G
Am D C
Am G/B G/C D (G G4 G)
G G4 G
Dust in our eyes our own boots kicked up
G G4 G
Heartsick we nursed along the way we picked up
Am G
You may not see it when it's sticking to your skin
Am G/B G/C D/F# (G G4 G)
But we're better off for all that we let in
G G4 G
Lost friends and loved ones much too young
G G4 G
So much promises and work left undone
Am G
When all that guards us is a single center line
Am G/B G/C D/F# (G G4 G)
And the brutal crossing over when it's time
----
Am D (G G4 G)
(I don't know where it all begins)
Am D C
(And I don't know where it all will end)
Am G/B G/C D/F# (G G4 G)
(we're better off for all that we let in)
----
G G4 G
One day those toughies will be withered up and bent
G G4 G
The father son the holy warriors and the president
Am G
With glory days of put up dukes for all the world to see
Am G/B G/C D/F# (G G4 G)
Beaten in to submission in the name of the free
G G4 G
We're in an evolution I have heard it said
G G4 G
Everyone's so busy now but do we move ahead
Am G
The planets hurting and atoms splitting
Am G/B G/C D/F# (G G4 G)
And a sweater for your love you sit there knitting
----
Am D (G G4 G)
(I don't know where it all begins)
Am D C
(And I don't know where it all will end)
Am G/B G/C D/F# (G G4 G)
(we're better off for all that we let in)
----
C D (G G4 G)
See those crosses on the side of the road
C D Am
Tied with ribbons in the median
C D Em
They make me grateful I can go this mile
C D
Lay me down at night and wake me up again
G G4 G
Kat writes a poem and she sticks it on my truck
G G4 G
We don't believe in war and we don't believe in luck
Am G
The birds were calling to her what were they saying
Am G/B G/C D/F# (G G4 G)
As the gate blew open and the tops of the trees were swaying
G G4 G
I've passed the cemetery walk my dog down there
G G4 G
I read the names in stone and say a silent prayer
Am G
When I get home you're cooking supper on the stove
Am G/B G/C D/F# (G G4 G)
And the greatest gift of life is to know love
----
Am D (G G4 G)
(I don't know where it all begins)
Am D C
(And I don't know where it all will end)
Am G/B G/C D/F# (G G4 G)
(we're better off for all that we let in)
