C majorC D7sus4D7sus4
The thin horizon of a plan is almost clear
FF G+G C majorC
My friends and I have had a tough time
C majorC D7sus4D7sus4
Bruising our brains, hard up against change
FF G+G C majorC
All the old dogs and the magician

Now I see we're in the boat in two by twos
FF G+G C majorC
Only the heart that we have for a tool we could use

With a love that passes all our understanding

The prize is always worth the rocky ride
♫ Chorus:
C majorC D7sus4D7sus4
But the wood is tired, and the wood is old

Sometimes I ask to sneak a closer look
A augmentedA D MajorD
Skip to the final chapter of the book

A augmentedA FF Gsus4Gsus4 G+G
To get us where we are this far, this far
(Yeah, yeah)
C majorC D7sus4D7sus4
But the question drowns in its futility
FF G+G C majorC
And even I have got to laugh at me

Just holding on for the ride
