Something I Can Hold In My Hands(Chords)

Stories from southern explorers tell of vastly open sky 
All I see is sweat and concrete, I avert my eyes 
           Am 
They put scaffolding, warning signs and things we used to climb 
G                         F 
Fences around fences and told us to say inside

Am 
stage. *And I abuse the path I 
G 
admit it* with the plans that I have made, *defy its temp 
F 
tuition* and my debts will get payed 
And we live 
C 
*Breathe once to me* 
Am 
Now I smiling when I 
G 
wake. For the first time in 
F 
my life I'm smiling when I wake and

And I've never been as happy as 
F 
here. As happy as
