Hand On An Anchor

  We came home early hoping to 
           Bm
catch you unaware
Bm          Em                
  A little cautious but we've 
Asus4          Bm
always had too much care

Hand on an anchor

Bm                Em           
  You've been so tired lately, 
Asus4               Bm
your skin takes you nowhere
Bm          Em              
  We wonder what it is keeps
Asus4          Bm
 you awake and out there

 Bm        Em
Hand on an anchor

A weight on the world

Your weight in gold

Bm          Em           Asus4  
  Your optimism called to say 
            Bm
it's out till Sunday
Bm           Em               
  Your disappointment shuffles
Asus4            Bm
 off to meet you half way

  Somewhere along the line you fall
