West Texas Wind

D G D A

[Verse 1]
      D                          G        D
It's dark and it's quiet in my house tonight
 D                        A
Babies are all gone to sleep
       D                 G       D
It's hard to imagine a better life
          Bm    A       D
Than the one I get to lead
         G                    G         D
I had a glass of wine but my mind is clear
        D                 A
These walls they talk to me
        D                      G        D
Don't blink an eye, you're a young man now
     Bm    A          D
But you won't always be


[Chorus]
     Bm
My blood and my bones
      G          D
My heart and my hands
     Bm                      A
They try to hold all of this in
          D                     G           D
But I'm running to you like a west Texas wind
         Bm      A       G          D
Singing God I need you, oh, how I need you
 Bm     A         D
God I need you again


[Verse 2]
        D                 G           D
I've learned to hide my fear in my bones
     D                        A
My body don't shake like the kids
           D                 G       D
But I'm easily scared and often confused
     Bm    A           D
I rarely know what I did
       D                      G          D
I've made mistakes and even worse than that
       D                    A
I've hurt the ones that I love
     D                   G         D
I wish that peace would find me here
          Bm    A      D
But it seldom ever does


[Chorus]
    Bm
My blood and my bones
     G            D
My heart and my hands
     Bm                       A
They try to hold all of this in
           D                     G         D
But I'm running to you like a west Texas wind
         Bm     A        G          D
Singing God I need you, oh, how I need you
  Bm      A      D
God I need you again


[Bridge]
  D                     G          D
I'm in the shadows of Heaven and Earth
   D                        A
Maybe they should be the same
          D               G         D
But my Earthly body is bound and conflicted
         Bm      A         D
And I'm left feeling the pain
       D                G    D
This house is not our only home
      D                       A
You can't protect love with stone
       D
God I know you can hear me
      G           D
So please come near me
      Bm      A             G
I'm ready to let the world go


[Chorus]
     Bm
My blood and my bones
     G             D
My heart and my hands
      Bm                       A
They try to hold all of this in
            D                    G           D
But I'm running to you like a west Texas wind
          Bm      A      G          D
Singing God I need you, oh, how I need you
  Bm      A      D
God I need you again
