Tom: Bb
Bb Eb Bb Eb
[Verse 1]
Bb
I'm at your back door
Eb
With the earth of a hundred nations in my skin
Gm
You wouldn't recognize me
F
For the light in my eyes is strange
Bb
It was years ago, God knows
Eb
When you strained to tell me your whole truth
Gm
That you were not mine to save
F
That you could not change
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
Would it be enough to go by
F Gm
If we could sail on the wind and the dark?
Eb Bb
Cut those chains in the middle of the night
Gm F
That had you pulled apart
Eb Bb
Would it be enough to go by
F Gm
If there's moonlight pulling the tide?
Eb Bb
Would it be enough to live on
F Bb
If my love could keep you alive?
[Verse 2]
Bb
I've built a lot of castles
Eb
I've built a lot of blazing speed-of-light machines
Gm
But it doesn't matter, you know
F
They all crumble in the winds of change
Bb
So I turned back to breathing
Eb
I learned a few good reasons to cry
Gm
And I finally called home
Eb F
Praying you weren't out of range
[Bridge]
Eb
Carry the weight
F
I'll carry the weight of you, I swear
Eb
Carry the weight
F
I'll carry the weight of you
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
Would it be enough to go by
F Gm
If we could sail on the wind and the dark?
Eb Bb
Cut those chains in the middle of the night
Gm F
That had you pulled apart
Eb Bb
Would it be enough to go by
F Gm
If there's moonlight pulling the tide?
Eb Bb
Would it be enough to live on
F Bb
If my love could keep you alive?
[Verse 3]
Bb
So will you let me come in
Mosquitoes have found me
Eb
And they're crowding 'round my blood
Gm
At least offer me a drink
F
Or a breaking of the ice
Bb
I'm wanting your anger
Eb
I only want to see if I can shake you out of sleep
Gm
And bring you out under this flooded sky
F
At any price
[Bridge]
Eb
So carry the weight
F
Carry the weight of me in your heart
Eb
Carry the weight
F
Carry the weight of me
[Chorus]
Eb Bb
Would it be enough to go by
F Gm
If we could sail on the wind and the dark?
Eb Bb
Cut those chains in the middle of the night
Gm F
That had you pulled apart
Eb Bb
Would it be enough to go by
F Gm
If there's moonlight pulling the tide?
Eb Bb
Would it be enough to live on
F Bb
If my love could keep you alive?
