Bridge:
Am           Em
  And who am I to think

I could hang such a

precious life

  on a clever line?

the books I read
Am          Em
  A hundred pages

out of reach
Am         Em
  And so I pull myself
F
Crawl to my feet
G
hit the street
Am      Em        F   Dm
  It'll take some time
Am             Em
  to learn the lesson

of the fall    and
  Em          F    Dm
begin another climb

your day No one's
