   All this time I've been hanging on 
Em                 Bm          Am7 
   To an edge I caught when we both were young 
Bm                             Em

And we've only         made it together 
C    C7M(9)/B  Am7 
Feel some      change in the weather 
C  C7M(9)/B  Am7                   D

Verse 3:

Em                   Bm   Am7           Bm 
  And though it's all so uncertain cold 
Em                  Bm              Am7 
  All the rafters cracked, all the copper sold 
Bm                           Em 
  There's a ration back in a manifold 
        D              C 
If you need it or forgot 



C            C7M(9)/B  Am7
