Hawksley Workman - The Ground We Stand On

this is the studio version from the album meat

D A
it’s so cold here and i miss you .
Bm
and i can’t help feeling broken .
D A
i treat myself like i’m not fragile .
Bm
like there’s no care to be taken .
D A
and i was up last night just thinking
Bm
a hundred reasons to be sorry .
D A
why don’t you come and lay beside me
Bm
since there’s too much now that’s vacant .

* reff :
G D
and oh the time that we keep wasting ,
A
like we don’t know
Bm
the joy that’s hard to bear .
G D
for the ground that we stand on
A
won’t long be there .

D A
i pray that we will never tire
Bm
of the work that lies before us .
D A
i feel that i will be the weak one
Bm
and that you will have to carry me .
D A
i hope there never is a phone call
Bm
to say that it’s too dark to keep trying .
D A
i hope there’s time left to discover
Bm
how to cry at all the beauty .

back to reff

interlude : D A Bm ( 2x )

* back to reff

D A
i guess it’s me there in the mirror
Bm
but i can’t say that i know him .
D A
when you tell me that you love me
Bm
there’s no reason i should doubt you .
