      G                             
As we gather round the table 

         C                   G 
To say a prayer for those we love 
  
        D                  Em        
All the words that will be spoken  

          C        G     
They will never be enough 

     G                                  
To encompass all the feelings  

         C                  G 
That our brittle hearts can bear 

        D                   Em               
All the storms that rage in silence 

         C              D 
Fill our organs up with air 





        B7                   Em     C 
And the sound it makes is an honest song 

     G             D      G 
Our hearts sing an honest song 



         G 
All the time spent catching raindrops  

        C                G 
All the time we spent in bed 

        D             Em 
All the hours we have wasted 

        C         G 
We will never see again 



      G                      
So be good with what you're given 

         C               G 
For it's all you have to give 

       D            Em           C      G 
We are only passing shadows in a mighty wind 





        B7                   Em     C 
And the sound it makes is an honest song 

     G             D      G 
Our hearts sing an honest song 



            G  
So though I tremble in the darkness 

       C               G 
In the cold and frozen snow 

     D                Em 
I am grateful for the winter  

        C               G 
For the winter comes to show 


         G                 
That our trouble's never over 

        C             G 
And our work is never done 

             D              Em 
But with the turning of the season  

         C             D 
We will always see the sun 





        B7                   Em     C 
And the sound it makes is an honest song 

     G             D      G 
Our hearts sing an honest song 

        C           G              D      G 
Oh, oh, oh, may our hearts sing an honest song
