One Word Away

C Em (6x) G G D Packed up my guitar and tape machine Em C Boxed up my books and my magazines G D I never thought it be such an easy thing Bm Em To write myself out of this scene G D And there's a long list in the back of my mind Em C Of my sins, mistakes, and petty crimes G D And though I know you're the forgiving kind Bm Em It's a long, hard climb C Em G But don't you forget where I stand C Em D One word away is where I am G D And tell me now that you have never tried Em C To calm the voices, keep them satisfied G D And though we think we waste the tears we cried Bm Em It may be enough to fill this divide G D Sent you a postcard from a frozen land Em C Wrote a few lines I hoped you'd understand G D I never could explain how I never planned Bm Em For things to get so out of hand C Em G But don't you forget where I stand C Em D One word away is where I am G D Em C G D Bm Em G D Em C G D Bm Em
