CGF
I am holding half an acre
CGF
Torn from the map of Michigan
CGF
And folded in this scrap of paper
DmF
Is the land I grew in
CGF
Think of every town you've lived in
CGF
Every room you lay your head
CGF
And what is it that you remember
BbFCAm
Do you carry every sadness with you
BbFCAm
Every hour your heart was broken
BbFCAm
Every night the fear and darkness
DmF
Lay down with you
CGFA man is walking on the highway
CGFA woman stares out at the sea
CGF
And light is only now just breaking
BbFCAm
So we carry every sadness with us
BbFCAm
Every hour our hearts were broken
BbFCAm
Every night the fear and darkness
DmF
Lay down with us
CGF
But I am holding half an acre
CGF
Torn from the map of Michigan
CGF
I am carrying this scrap of paper
BbFCAm
That can crack the darkest sky wide open
BbFCAm
Every burden taken from me
BbFCAm
Every night my heart unfolding
DmF
My home
