Strands

D                          A
There is a slowness on the throttle
   Bm             G
A sterility at an end
D               A
Painted out of a corner
          G        A
Breaks to bind the strands
D                    A
To decide within the barnstorm
   Bm              G
Or shadows feeding in the lurch
D                 A
Just survive by a stone's throw
    G                  A    D G  Bm A G  D
The decision wheels at work
D                     A
Peace be found, if temporary
Bm                       G
Sirens stir the seeds of regret
D                      A
Gathered clouds or unleashing
         G                     A
Signs to walk, then place your bet
D                    A
The squatters on high stations
    Bm                G
The talkers that hold sway
D                 A
Verbal backslide rushes out
      G              A
Like grapeshot fine spray
   D
No anchor-drop sanctuary
   G
No remedy tends to show
Bm             A
No finding it uncovered
       G              D
Just a wide swing tremolo
D                    A
Broken down, lessons learned
   Bm           G
Redeemed on epitaphs
D               A
By blindfolded regulars
      G                    A
With countenance to switch back
D                   A
Echo farewell to midnight
        Bm               G
To the loneliness of the chase
       D                    A
To the minutes past his red-letter
   G                  A
To Elysian Fields defaced
   D
No pangs provide delivery
G
Breaking out of the throes
   Bm       A
No reverie decided
       G          D
Just a wide swing tremolo
D
No mercy in pokerface
G
Lend an ear before you go
   Bm             A
No sentence yet decided
       G              D
Just a wide swing tremolo
