Em Am C Am
[VERSE I]
C Am C Am Em Am G
Shifting the chair on the porch for a better position to enjoy the warmth of the sun, to keep warm
C Am C Am
Working the needle and twine. Lost in the furthest recess of the mind.
Em Am Em Am G
It is calm. There is peace. A cat on his lap and a dog at her feet.
[CHORUS]
C G Am F G
But oh, the heart of a man. The secrets they bury within.
C G
Oh the causes that force his poor hand
Am F G C Am C Am
Lead to be mislead thus the deceiving of him.
[VERSE II]
C Am C Am
It's an item uneasily described. Misunderstandings our thoughts by and by.
Em Am G

I'm barely here if even at all.
C Am C Am
Fear of the misunderstood invites the violence right in chasing off all the good.
Em Am Em Am G
We have brought it all on ourselves. Led astray by the words of somebody else!
[CHORUS II]
C G Am F G
But oh, the life of a man. His head above the water and pushed under again
C G
Oh I've seen it one too many times
Am F G
Its a test of the spirit verses the health of a mind.
[BRIDGE]
Dm G C C/B Am
Oh.......bring relief to him now and the people he loves.
Dm G C C/B Am
Oh.......I know the feel of the feeling but not what's it's called
Dm G C Am C Am
Oh....... oh......
[CHORUS III]
C G Am F G
Oh the will of a man and all his well meaning intent.
C G Am F G C
Oh the thought of it all. As far as we've come there's still further to go...
