Tom: A
A, D, F#, E

A D A D
To capture for a lifetime what in moments catches on
A D F# E
To put to paper what it was about that song
F# E A D
Homemade magnetic tapes for all the people that you love
F# E A D E
For purity, or bravery, or grace, or just because that’s what a heart does
D
The echoes encompassing us!

A D A D
I feel a strange prehension that is much bigger than me
A D F# E
A shadow falls ahead so far I fail to see
F# E A D
And so at times I’d like a map to what I cannot comprehend
F# E A D
But infinite cartographer, your trusted magic pen
A D E
Can only ink against the edge of understanding!
A D E
Yeah, you always draw me on along, questions compounding
A D A D
But family and friends their thoughts therein will interject
A D F# E
And, oh, to feel the strength in all the places they connect
F# E A D
There’s time’s we’ve spoken cryptically and times we’ve been direct
F# E A D
Sometimes we speak so cyclically, sometimes just hold our breath and see
A D E
that presence sets the stage for conversation!
A D E
Or simply says what it must say with its intention!
(A, D)
then play:
(A, D, F#, E, F#, E)
A D
And so we start to feel we shoudn’t be so scared
A F# E
We see this understanding as the only thing that’s there
F# E A D
There’s feelings you must overcome, and feelings you must use,
F# E A D
And strengthened by a timeless love that you must never lose
A D E
It’s born of ancestry and poetry and chemistry!
A D E
Horizon lines and volume and infinity!
(A, D)
A D A D
For now we focus on whatever comes to mind
A D F# E
A slow progression, though a tender one, we find
F# E A D
The sun against a face some hot Ohio afternoon
F# E A D
A timeless sense of place among the relics in my room
A D E
A low hanging amber melon of a moon.
A D E A
We can stop and sleep and plan the next day soon.
