Biography:
State Radio is an alternative rock group formed in Sherborn, Massachusetts, United States in 2002. They consist of former Dispatch vocalist Chad Stokes Urmston (vocals, guitar), Chuck Fay (bass) and Mike “Mad Dog” Najarian (drums),
For generations of great American songwriters, the music and the message have been inextricably linked. Word and deed are one in the same, and the only thing more moving than the rousing call to action is the evocative melody that transports the words like a shell casing.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
A lot of this tab is copied from other tabs that have already been posted, but I
some of the chords throughout the song and tabbed them more specifically/accurately. Hope this
an improvement :)
I divided it into sections, the chord progressions written out are repeated for the rest
the lyrics that are posted within the section, then the song moves right along to the
one. Not too complicated, I promise.
Let me know what you think! Thanks -Court

On this earth not alone we stand
D C*
Outstretched arm and upturned hand
Em C B
Never knowing when the shakes steady
D C*
And 'till now we have seldom seen
And I will go if you go with me
Understand I will wait for thee
I'll try to catch up if you move quickly
If the rain does blow

'Cause you're my present, my future, my lesson, my teacher,
G D6
Oh... My world is still
You're my God you're my guide, in my life I confide
To ever shelter your will
And my words are forever my blanket, my shiver
Whatever you give, I'll never lack
You're my chorus, my refrain, the verse of my first pain,
Let the voices come barreling back

'Cause I can stand to stay right where I am
G D6
Let the water fill this hand
Bring it to your mouth and pass beyond your lips
No gale can down this ship
And I'll stand on your shoulders to watch us grow older
I can see us far along the road
As the trail grows deeper, you're my giver, my keeper,
Laughter for years untold
'Cause I can stand to stay right where I am
Let the water fill this hand
Bring it to your mouth and pass beyond your lips
No gale can down this ship

Wherever you go, there you are
And if I go I won't go far

And oh sir, if you ever lose your way
