Late Blues by Ida
From the 2005 album Heart Like a River
[Verse]
If I get Emlost along the way to meet you
If I'm Bmmore than a little late
If I get Emcaught up in circles chasing my own tail
If I trip Bmup and fail you
If I let you Asus4downA  
If I let you Gdo-Bmown
[Verse]
I can Emsee that injury that accompanies the passBmage of years
I can Emtry to rationalize the accumulation of Bmfear
And the Emdreams that draw a song in pursuit of the end of time
And the Bmgrace that illuminates the past
If I let you Asus4downA  
If I let you Gdo-Bmown
[Solo]
Em Bm Em Bm Asus A G Bm
[Verse]
In the Emnight the city's quiet
From the rooftop we can see the moon rise Bmhigh above the clouds
Just enEmough light to see our faces give expression to the words we Bmthought but didn't speak
And then you Emasked me a question that I won't forget
Even if I spend my Bmlife trying to live up to what it means
If i let you Asus4downA  
If i let you GdoBmwn
[Solo]
Em Bm Em Bm
[Outro]
Don't let it Embreak down
Don't let it Bmbreak
Don't let it AbreakG  Em

And the dreams that draw a song in pursuit of the end of time

And the grace that illuminates the past

[Verse]

In the night the city's quiet

From the rooftop we can see the moon rise high above the clouds

And then you asked me a question that I won't forget

Even if I spend my life trying to live up to what it means
