C/G

Bb Dm C

Depth over distance every time, my dear

Bb Dm C

And this tree of ours may grow tall in the woods

Bb Dm C

But it's the roots that will bind us here

Bb Dm C

To the ground

Bb Dm C

Depth over distance was all I asked of you

Bb Dm C

And I may be foolish to fall as I do

Bb Dm C

There's strength in the blindness you fear

Bb Dm C

If you're coming too

Bb Dm C

If you're coming too

F C

So hold on, wait until that lone sun

Dm C/G

Breaks from the arms of the Lord

F C

Yeah hold on, though we may be too young

Dm C/G

To know this ride we're on

Bb Dm C

Depth over distance was all I asked of you

Bb Dm C

And everybody 'round here's acting like a stone

Bb Dm C

Still there's things I'd do, darling, I'd go blind for you

Bb Dm C

If you let it go sometimes, let it go sometimes, let it go

Bb Dm C

Just let it go sometimes

F C

So hold on, wait until that lone sun

Dm C/G

Breaks from the arms of the Lord

F C

Yeah hold on, though we may be too young

Dm C/G

To know this ride we're on

F C

Yeah hold on, though we may be too young

Dm C/G

To know this ride we're on

*And then he does something like this :

If you're coming too

And hold on, though we may be too young
