A Delicate Balance

D        A              D 
Deep within there is a vision 
       G        D          A 
That time is nothing but space, 
       D                      G 
And between every minute and mile that is in it 
 D     A                       D 
Somehow there is a beautiful face. 


          G           A       D 
And its all such a delicate balance 
           G         D        A 
That the sport of infinity gives, 
      D                    G 
Expectations we have can lead down the path 
             D          A          D 
Where that devil discouragement lives. 


       D          A         D 
I dreamed I was barer than naked 

           G         D           A 
And it scared me so bad that I called, 
  D                                      G 
"Help me back to the prison, with the chains of the living" 
            D          A         D 
Although nothing had hurt me at all. 


          G           A       D 
And its all such a delicate balance 
        G                 D        A 
As it turns through the circles of air, 
      D                      G 
To worry does nothing but steals from the loving 

      D            A                D 
And robs from the pleasure that's there. 


To worry does nothing but steals from the loving 
And robs from the pleasure that's there. 

D        A              D 
Deep within there is a feeling 
       G              D            A 
That love and understanding's the door, 
       D                          G 
And honesty is the key that was given to you and me 
     D          A          D 
To open it and so many more. 

          G           A       D 
And its all such a delicate balance 
        G              D        A 
Takes away just as much as it gives, 
    D                      G 
To live it is real, to love it is to feel 
      D            A                D 
You're a part of what everything is. 


   G           A       D 
And its all such a delicate balance 
        G                 D        A 
As it turns through the circles of air, 
      D                      G 
To worry does nothing but steals from the loving 

      D            A                D 
And robs from the pleasure that's there. 


    G           A       D 
And its all such a delicate balance 
        G              D        A 
Takes away just as much as it gives, 
    D                      G 
To live it is real, to love it is to feel 
      D            A                D 
You're a part of what everything is.
