Intro:
[C]C [G]G [Em/Esus2]Em/Esus2 D x3
[C]Itâ??s no wonder Iâ??v[G]e felt so tired[Em/Esus2]
[C]Iâ??ve witnessed the careless a[G]ll running past me[Em/Esus2] [D5]
[C]While Iâ??ve been told t[G]o ignore my d[Em/Esus2]esires
[C]And grow numb with unders[G]tanding[Em/Esus2] [D5]
[Am]I walk through theses woods
[G]I carry this deadwood
[Am]I am determined t[G]o see this th[D]rough
[Am]Driven only by the gu[G]ilt and the shame of giving up
[Am]I must complete wh[G]at I set out to do[D] - For you
[C]It stayed on a shelf [G]made of my arms[Em/Esus2]
[C]They had grown strong from givin[G]g suppo[Em/Esus2]rt[D5]
[C]I knew that my arms could hold[G] out foreve[Em/Esus2]r
[C]It was my mind t[G]hatâ??d gr[Em/Esus2]ow tired
[Am]Itâ??s been so lon[G]g since I have questioned
[Am]What it is [G]that I r[D]eally want
[Am]Instead I follow[G] your directions
[Am]As you lead me on[G]
I canâ??t [D]use it to build my [C]home
[Em]It wil[D]l not fulfill my desire[C]s[D]
[Em]Some [D]wood can be used [C]to help build a life[D]
[Em]This [D]wood will be used[C] for building a fire[D] [Em]
[Em] [D5] [Csus2] [Dsus2] [Em]
[Esus2]Why carry this d[Em]eadwood with meâ?¦
[Esus2]â?¦when were Iâ?[Em]?m going there will be living trees
[C]Now close enough [B5]to [C]carry it all to the end[B5] [A5] [B5]
[C]But throwing it all to the[D5] ground instead
Solo: Em D C5 C5/B C5/A
[Em]This bundle of deadwood
[D]The pieces they fall
Corners inden[C5]t the soil and accumulate on one [C5/B]another
Tumble down [C5/A]and pile up
[Em]It awkwardly spills l[D]ike myself at a time
Like the tim[C5]e it had killed
Like every momen[C5/B]t after it was collec[C5/A]ted and held
[Bm]Iâ??d give [D]up[A] all th[E]at I started
[Bm]To p[D]ursue[A] all that I w[E]anted
[Bm]I may a[D]rrive [A]empty ha[E]nded
[Bm]But at[D] least I will a[A]rrive[E]
