Come on home, the team you’re hitched to has a mind of its own

VERSE: (same)
There is fire there is lust
Some will trade it all for someone they could trust
There’s a bag of silver for a box of nails
It’s so simple the betrayal
Though it’s known to change the world and what’s to come.
CHORUS:(same)
Just come on home, the team you’re hitched to has a mind of its own
But it’s just the forces of your past you’ve fought before
Don’t you recognize them anymore
I’m stacking sandbags against the river of your troubles.

D Dm A
There’s the given and the expected
D C#sus9 F#m F#m/A

D C#sus9 F#m F#m/A
Is this for better is this for worse
D D/C# Bm E
You’re all jammed up and the dam’s about to burst.
VERSE: (same)
I hear the owl in the night
I realize that some things never are made right
By some will we string together here
Days to months and months to years
What if everything we have adds up to nothing.
CHORUS:(same)
Come on home, the team you’re hitched to has a mind of its own
But it’s just the forces of your past you’ve fought before
Come back here and shut the door
I’m stacking sandbags against the river of your troubles
