[Intro] G  C  Em  C
        Em  Am  Em  Am

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 a name to the same old tired pain?
Em                                     Am
When all things come from nothing and, honey, if nothing's gained?

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 in 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 Mack explained, there will be darkness again

Em                   Am
Let it hurl, 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 seeds
Em                                 Am
Keep my body from the fire, hire a gardener for my grave
     Em                             Am
Your secret is safe with me, and if secrets were like seeds
Em                                     Am
When I'm lying under marble, marvel at flowers you'll have made

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 pain, honey, the sweeter the sun
           Em               Am
There's no plan, there's no kingdom to come
                 D              Em
But I'll be your man if you got love to get done
Em                      Am
Sit in 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 Mack explained, there will be darkness again

( Em  Am  D  Em )
( Em  Am  D  Em )

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 hope 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
But 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 Mack explained, there will be darkness again
