Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
F C Em Am
F C G C

Verse:
F           C      Em      Am
First there is the folding in
   F      C         G       C
To gather light and dark to you
    F       C       G        Am
The journey down so far that it
    F       C       G      C
Has nowhere else to go but through

Verse:
  F          C       Em    Am
I thought if I tried hard enough
     F       C      G      C
With endless motion like a bribe
   F     C        G       Am
As if by this the will of god
         F       C     G       C
Could be bent to my version of right

Chorus:
     F       Am      Dm7 C  F
What happens next is nearly weightless
    Dm7 Am        Em       F
The opening where we stand breathless
                   G     F C Em Am    F C G C
On the clean edge of change___

Verse:
    F      C      Em       Am
She cannot live beneath my wings
   F         C      G    C
No more will he see seventy
    F    C        G     Am
How many mornings did I wake
    F           C     G       C
And wished that it be you I'd see?

Chorus:
     F       Am      Dm7 C  F
What happens next is nearly weightless
    Dm7 Am        Em       F
The opening where we stand breathless
                   G     F C Em Am    F C G C
On the clean edge of change___

Bridge:
    F      Am     F          Am
And who am I, who makes this sound?
    F        Am        Dm7   Am F
Who rode the shadow all the way down?
                   G
To the clean edge of change

Instrumental:

F C G C
F C Em Am
F C G C

Verse:
       F     C        Em      Am
In the clear space of knowing that
           F    C         G       C
There's as many names for dark as light
    F        C      G      Am
I'm choosing mostly now to speak
    F         C      G           C
The ones that get me through the night

Verse:
    F      C    Em    Am
But always with humility
       F    C         G        C
With a worn out but a grateful heart
F      C       G     Am   F
Having sang so recently
     C        G      C
Full-throated in the dark

Chorus:
     F       Am      Dm7 C  F
What happens next is nearly weightless
    Dm7 Am        Em       F
The opening where we stand breathless
                   G     F C Em Am    F C G C
On the clean edge of change___

Verse:
F           C      Em      Am
First there is the folding in
   F      C         G       C
To gather light and dark to you
    F       C       G        Am
The journey down so far that it
    F       C       G      C
Has nowhere else to go but through
