Nexus chords by Dan Fogelberg

Dan Fogelberg - Nexus


INTRO:  (lengthy instrumental)

 D                                     D7sus4
Across the vein of night there cuts, a path of searing light
G                            D            A
Burning like a beacon on the edges of our sight
       D                               D7sus4
At the point of total darkness and the lights divine divide
  G                                   D              A            D   A D A
A soul can let its shadow stretch and land on either side, either side


    D                              D7sus4
And balanced on the precipice, the moment must reveal
G                              D               A
Naked in the face of time, our race within the wheel
      D                                D7sus4
As we hang beneath the heavens, and we hover over hell
    G                                 D                A
Our hearts become the instruments, we learn to play so well

CHORUS:
   D                        G             A
So wealthy the spirit, that knows its own flight
D                        G             A
Stealthy the hunter, who slays his own fright
D                          G            A             D     A  D  A  D
Blessed the traveller, who journeys the length of the light


                               D7sus4
Outside the pull of gravity, beyond the spectral veil
    G                           D              A
Within our careful reasoning, we search to no avail
        D                              D7sus4
For the constant in the chaos, for the fulcrum in the void
G                        D             A D   A  D  A
Following a destiny, our steps cannot avoid


 D                                     D7sus4
Across the vein of night there cuts, a path of searing light
G                            D            A
Burning like a beacon on the edges of our sight
       D                               D7sus4
At the point of total darkness and the lights divine divide
  G                                   D              A
A soul can let its shadow stretch and land on either side


CHORUS:
D                        G             A
wealthy the spirit, that knows its own flight
D                        G             A
Stealthy the hunter, who slays his own fright
D                          G            A             D
Blessed the traveller, who journeys the length of the light


INSTRUMENTAL: (A really long one)


D                                D7sus4
In a spiral never-ending, are we drawn toward the source
G                           D           A
Spinning at the mercy of an unrelenting force
      D                            D7sus4
So we stare into the emptiness and fall beneath the weight
G            D                             A
Circling the Nexus in a fevered dance with fate


CHORUS:
D                        G             A
Wealthy the spirit, that knows its own flight
D                        G             A
Stealthy the hunter, who slays his own fright
D                          G            A             D
Blessed the traveller, who journeys the length of the light
