Lines on Palms Lyrics

Drop-D tuning DADGBE
VERSE:
sometimes I know I become
su
all that's weak in a man and weak in a boy but
`Ab `Eb/G `Fm `Eb
I keep trying and I won't quit and
`Fm `Eb 'Db 'Ab/C Bb Bb
that must be worth some-thing more than a
(-2/4 bar-)
strong man who be-lieves that there's nothing left to try for and
`Ab `Eb/G `Fm `Eb
I can be cold I know I know but a
`Fm `Eb `Db `Ab/C
woman is a warm breath on the back of your
neck and a warm belly pressed against yours__ and oh-hoh-
CHORUS:
hoh-oh we need to feel the sum of all our parts are
more than what's laid out in lines upon our palms al-
though our hands are tied we move as though they are___ and
VERSE:
there's one house in ev-er-y town that
ev-er-y-one fears and ev'ryone steers clear and
`Ab `Eb/G `Fm `Eb
I don't wanna live like that I
`Fm `Eb `Db `Ab/C Bb Bb
wanna live somewhere more like you by the
sea where the cliffs keep sentry watching over me and
`Ab `Eb/G `Fm `Eb
it can get rough out there I know but a
`Fm `Eb `Db `Ab/C
woman is a sail that re-mains un-furled so stay a-
head of the wind man or you won't catch her and oh-hoh-
CHORUS-LONG:
hoh-oh we need to feel the sum of all our parts are
more than what's laid out in lines upon our palms al-
though our hands are tied we move as though they are un-til we're bound by
branching out
VERSE-SHORT:
sometimes I know where I am and
what I'm doing and what things might be-come but
`Ab `Eb/G `Fm `Eb
that always seems such a fleeting state for the re-
`Fm `Eb `Db `Ab/C
mainder of the time I feel that I am a
babe in the woods out for deliverance and
CODA:
I can be cold I know I know but a
woman is a warm breath on the back of your
Ab `Bb* `Bb7 Eb
neck and a warm belly pressed a-gainst yours__
