The Rope - The Emerson Letters

This is the way I play this song, it could be slightly different.

It is played a half step down I think, but I play it in standard most of the time.

Am		G		F
What good is a pen that will not write
		C		F
what good is a 	promise left unkept
Am		G		F		
what good is an open evening sky
		C		F
if all the 	clouds refuse to rain

chorus
Dm			C	G
I'm not at the end of my rope
	F		Gsus	G
I'm steady in this ship to sail
Dm				C	G		
if there's healing in an honest 	word
	F		Gsus	G
if 	truth is like a soft kiss
	F		C	G	
then 	oh-oh-oh oh lord
	C	Bm	Am		
will this storm pass us over
F		C	G
oh-oh-oh oh lord
	C	Bm	Am
will this storm pass us over
G	F   
halle	lu-u-u-jah

(no chord) so tell me 
Am		G		F
are we not a breath are we not a mist
		C		F
I think that everybody here knows it
		Am		G	F	
so this time, 	as the season turns once again
		C			F
I'm pushing 	my soul, against this bitter cold
