Words and music by Son Volt from the 2009 album "American Central Dust."
Capo 2
Hand in Chand there are angels Fthat are holding Cwarning signs
GShow you the way like G7teachers and prophets of Cdoom
EveryCone has their idol Fthere will always be a story to Ctell
GThe search goes on a G7balance in the Cfinal say
CWhen you're lost in folly Fout of luck in the Cworst way
GLove is a fog and you G7stumble every step you Cmake
FThe dust of daylight holds you down and Cmakes you wait
GLove is a fog and you G7stumble every step you Cmake
There will be Cwords and Ffault lines to Cfill the hours of the day
There are Gways to buy trouble but a G7bail bondsman finds friends in Cjail
Time to Cleave now Ftime to pack up all that you're Cleaving
Your Gcontest's here but G7you'll be judged just the Csame
Repeat Chorus
FThe dust of daylight holds you down and Cmakes you wait
GLove is a fog and you G7stumble every step you Cmake
GLove is a fog and you C7stumble every step you Cmake
