Loose Ends

INTRO: Am  G  (4x)

Am                     Em
Climbing a mountain in darkness
C                 A11 D
Stranded alone on the ledge
Am                   Em
Every attempt that I make to hold on
C                A11 D
Pushes me nearer the edge


INSTRUMENTAL: Am  G  Am Em Am G Am Em


Am                    Em
Sensing the changes impending
   C                        A11 D
My thoughts are diffused by despair
  Am                              Em
I feel like I'm swimming straight up underwater
C                  A11 D
Desperately racing for air, I'm racing for air


INSTRUMENTAL: Am  G  Am Em Am G Am


CHORUS:
        A
And the chords struck at birth grow more distant
        Bm                     A
Yet, we strike them again and again
       F#m          A          F#m        A
And we plead and we pray for a glimmer of day
       F#m             A         Em
As the night folds its wings and descends
               D   G
Exposing the loose ends


INSTRUMENTAL: Lead break


   Am                      Em
Surrounding myself with possessions
  C                     A11 D
I surely have more than I need
  Am                    Em
I don't know if this is justice hard earned
   C               A11 D
Or simply a matter of greed, a matter of greed


INSTRUMENTAL: Am  G  Am  G  Am  G  Am  Em


CHORUS:
        A
And the chords struck at birth grow more distant
        Bm                     A
Yet, we strike them again and again
       F#m          A          F#m        A
And we plead and we pray for a glimmer of day
       F#m             A         Em
As the night folds its wings and descends
               Am  Em    Am   Em
Exposing the loose ends


CHORUS:
        A
And the chords struck at birth grow more distant
        Bm                     A
Yet, we strike them again and again
       F#m          A          F#m        A
And we plead and we pray for a glimmer of day
       F#m             A         Em
As the night folds its wings and descends
               Am  Em    Am   Em
Exposing the loose ends
