Chords for Across the Great Divide

_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, one more time won't you [Db] speak those words [Ab] I long to hear
_ That ring like a melody [Db] that lingers [Ab] in my ear
And I trace the words upon your [F] lips, the better four to hear
[Fm] And to etch [Ebm] the memory [Db] in my mind
_ Of a love I'd only ever [Ab] hoped to find _ _ _ _ _ _
Oh, one more time won't you [Db] place your hand upon [Ab] my breast
And feel the heart that beats for [Db] you, the heart that [Ab] knows no rest
_ The heart that knows you most of [F] all, the heart that loves you [Fm] best
And that broken [Cm] little beat [Db] goes marching on
_ And renders its love [Ab] into a song _ _ _ _ _
[Fm] Well, I am flooded [Db] as a broken [Ab] down dam
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Fm] And I am busted [Db] as a [Ab] highwayman _ _
You hit me on my blind [Db] side and you slipped right [Fm] through my hands
And the fragments [Abm] flung so far I [Db] don't see how _
I'll ever _ be the whole _ [Ab] myself now _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, there's so many things I [Bbm] couldn't bring [Ab] myself to say
So many little burdens [F] you couldn't bear to [Ab] give away
_ There's so many obstacles that undermine our strength
[Fm] And suddenly [Eb] the walls came [Db] tumbling down
_ And in the rubble you were nowhere [Ab] to be found
Well, _ _ _ the hardest part is knowing [Db] circumstances [Ab] are to blame
The heavy weight of grief, [Db] uncertainty [Ab] and shame
They carried us to sea, [Eb] they buried us in the wake
And [Fm] we were battered [Eb] by a storm too [Db] rough to ride
_ We washed ashore on [Ab] opposite sides
_ _ _ _ Now [Fm] I am rutted [Db] as the parched [Ab] lowlands
_ [Db] And [Ab] _ _ [Fm] I've been gutted [Db] like an old [Ab] tin can
You _ _ said one day you would come [Db] see just how [Fm] bad I am
But you're not bad, just [Eb] full of brokenness [Db] and pride
_ And a little too much hurt _ _ for you [Ab] to hide _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] You will hate me, you will hate me, [F] you will hate me [Bbm] soon, [Ab] you said
[Db] _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ And how those words [Eb] have rattled in [Ab] my head
And I've waited for that moment [Ab] in longing and in dread
But I find only the [Eb] calm verse to be [Db] true
_ _ Every day expands my love [Ab] for you
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ And I hope she brings you comfort
And [Fm] I hope your love is true
_ And I hope you are a friend to her as [Db] I have been to [Ab] you
_ And I hope you have a happy home [Db] and it brings you life [Ab] anew
And [Fm] that no bitter [Eb] regrets will dog your [Db] mind
_ _ But do _ remember me _ from time to time
[Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ My [Fm] love is quiet, _ [Db] still waters run [Ab] deep
[Db] And [Ab] _ _ it [Fm] calms the riot [Db] that's inside of me
And it's high as the sky and it's vast as the [Ab] sea
And over time [Ebm] it'll cut a canyon [Db] wide
And _ ferry me across a great [Ab] divide _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _
