verse 1
Em
For starts
Am Em
What a waste to say the heart could feel apart
Am
Or feel complete, baby
Em Am
Why would you make out of words a cage for your own bird?
Em
When it sings so sweet
Am
The screaming, heaving, fuckery of the world?
Em Am
Why would you offer her name to the same old tired pain?
Em Am
When all things come from nothin' and, honey, if nothin's gained?
Pre-Chorus
Em
My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand
Em N.C
It's how I know now that you understand
Em Am
There's no plan, there's no race to be run
D Em
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun
Em Am
There's no plan, there's no kingdom to come
D Em
I'll be your man if you got love to get done
Em Am
Sit here and watch the sunlight fade
D Em
Honey, enjoy, it's gettin' late
Em Am
There's no plan, there's no hand on the rein
D Em Em
As Mac explained, there will be darkness again
verse 2
Em Am
Let it hurt, let the awful song be heard
Em Am
Blue bird, I know you beat, baby
Em Am
But your secret is safe with me 'cause if secrets were like saints
Em Am
Keep my body from the fire, higher, guard them from my grave
Em Am
Your secret is safe with me, and if secrets were like seeds
Em Am
When I'm laying on the marble, marble of flowers you have made
Pre-Chorus
Em
My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand
Em
It's how I know now that you understand
Em Am
There's no plan, there's no race to be run
D Em
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun
Em Am
There's no plan, there's no kingdom to come
D Em
I'll be your man if you got love to get done
Em Am
Sit here and watch the sunlight fade
D Em
Honey, enjoy, it's gettin' late
Em Am
There's no plan, there's no hand on the rein
D Em
As Mac explained, there will be darkness again

Pre-Chorus
Em
My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand
Em
It's how I know now that you understand
Em
How big the hourglass, how deep the sand
Em
I shouldn't have hoped to know, but here I stand
Em Am
There's no plan, there's no race to be run
D Em
The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun
Em Am
There's no plan, there's no kingdom to come
D Em
I'll be your man if you got love to get done
Em Am
Sit here and watch the sunlight fade
D Em
Honey, enjoy, it's gettin' late
Em Am
There's no plan, there's no hand on the rein
D Em
As Mac explained, there will be darkness again
