 G                         G4         G
Dust in our eyes our own boots kicked up
   G           G4                           G
Heartsick we nursed along the way we picked up
 Am                             G
You may not see it when it's sticking to your skin
            Am   G/B     G/C      D/F#          (G G4 G)
But we're better off for all that we let in

 G                         G4         G
Lost friends and loved ones much too young
   G       G4                      G
So much promises and work left undone
 Am                             G
When all that guards us is a single center line
         Am       G/B    G/C    D/F#          (G G4 G)
And the brutal crossing over when it's time

 Am             D         (G G4 G)
(I don't know where it all begins)

 Am                 D               C
(And I don't know where it all will end)
         Am    G/B     G/C      D/F# (G G4 G)
(we're better off for all that we let in)

G                                 G4            G
One day those toughies will be withered up and bent
      G             G4                      G
The father son the holy warriors and the president
       Am                             G
With glory days of put up dukes for all the world to see
         Am       G/B    G/C    D/F#          (G G4 G)
Beaten in to submission in the name of the free

G                     G4               G
We're in an evolution I have heard it said
     G                     G4           G
Everyone's so busy now but do we move ahead
       Am                 G
The planets hurting and atoms splitting
         Am   G/B       G/C     D/F#      (G G4 G)
And a sweater for your love you sit there knitting

E|E|E|E|E|----|||||

             C             D          (G G4 G)
See those crosses on the side of the road
             C             D     Am
Tied with ribbons in the median
                C           D        Em
They make me grateful I can go this mile
         C                        D
Lay me down at night and wake me up again


 G                           G4             G
Kat writes a poem and she sticks it on my truck
 G                               G4              G
We don't believe in war and we don't believe in luck
     Am                         G
The birds were calling to her what were they saying
         Am      G/B           G/C         D/F#      (G G4 G)
As the gate blew open and the tops of the trees were swaying


G                          G4               G
I've passed the cemetery walk my dog down there
G                              G4            G
I read the names in stone and say a silent prayer
 Am                               G
When I get home you're cooking supper on the stove
            Am    G/B     G/C   D/F#    (G G4 G)
And the greatest gift of life is to know love
