Capo 4
[Verse]
G
I was holding my breath
G
When the tightrope walker slipped into the moon glow
Am G
Saying all my children, follow me
Am G
Maybe it's time to go.
C G
You can be cruel when you're wise
C G
You can be wise when you're blue
C G
And baby, if I have
D G
Then I have for you
G G
Bribing the jury to keep me in jail
G G
Singing tea for the tiller man
Am
And although I lie fantastically
C
This woman knows of my history
G
It's a miracle i can see
C G
You can be wrong when you're right
C G
Even when you're right on cue
C G
And if I die tonight
D G
Then I die for you
G
All I know is they call me son
G
Great grandson and grandson
Am G
Great uncles and some relatives
C G
That judge what I have done
C G
Gonna make it right by you
C G
Even if it's all I do
C G
And if it's all I do
D G
Then I do it for you
G
People have raised a whole lotta hell
G
About the water in the windmill
Am G
And although I stab chaotically
C G
It hurts no one but me
C G
Even the darkness has arms
C G
But they ain't got you
C G
And baby, I have it
D G
And I have you, too
C D
And the light in the window
C G
To pass the night through
Em Em
Maybe so uncertain
C C
But what can I do
C
Keeping it on
D
Keeping it on
C G
And I know I like it
D C
But what does that prove
C G
Sometimes I worry I don't know how to love you
G
I bring to you with reverent hand
G
All the books and the lullabies
Am G
The kind woman that my passion wore
C G
Like the shoreline wears the tides
C G
Maybe the water went dry
C G
Keeping an eye on you
C G
And with an eye on you
D G
It could drown me too
G G
People have raised a whole lotta hell
G G
About the water in the windmill
Am G
And although I stab chaotically
C G
I swore an oath on my history
C G
It's a miracle i can see
C G
Even the darkness has arms
C G
But they ain't got you
C G
And baby, I have it
D G
And I have you, too
C D
And the light in the window
C G
To pass the night through

Keeping it on
