Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Verse 1: A augmentedA I want to grab a stranger’s hand and A augmentedA Hold it as tightly as I can and A augmentedA I will tell by their reaction if A augmentedA They’re like me or if I am crazy A augmentedA When the lights of the city hit my A augmentedA Eyes on the plane looking out the window A augmentedA I am consumed by a comforting notion A augmentedA That you are there and A augmentedA I am welcome A augmentedA If our miles have added up to A augmentedA A augmentedA giant pile of distance that we A augmentedA Cannot reach past, climb, or conquer A augmentedA Will you dig a A augmentedA Tunnel to me?
Interlude: A augmentedA Verse 2: A augmentedA Every move suspends an action A augmentedA Any attempt to engage will push away A augmentedA What you want becomes a magnet A augmentedA Opposing poles A augmentedA Never meeting A augmentedA Can you combine a friend and mother? A augmentedA Can you blend a dad and brother? A augmentedA Must we have to pick one or the other? A augmentedA Will we know this or always wonder? A augmentedA (Always wonder) A augmentedA You can tell what you’ve done to me A augmentedA To be seen in hell from your place in a tree A augmentedA Always helping A augmentedA Ever loving A augmentedA But will you always A augmentedA Be above me
