A really nice song by Joe Henry. These chords are based on his Civilians album and a
video, in which he does this song acoustic.

*1 The Am/G# could give you some problems to play. Use your pinky to play the G# (4),
it!
You can also play this chord simplified like:
4x22xx
Use your ring finger for the G# (4) and your index finger , barred, for the two 2 , the
and a notes. You can mute the A string (the first x) with your ringfinger and the other
x with your index finger.
If you chose this way to play it, you might want to play the Am/G and Am/F# in that
simplified way. That makes:
3x22xx
2x22xx
Use your middlefinger for the and your thumb for the (2). You
leave your index finger unchanged, like the as shown above.
ENJOY

that needs to believe thereâs judgment at hand
or God may be kind and see you like a son, but

The years see the best of intentions and greed
they come without shame, they ll leave you with some

time is a lover and your time is young
bridge:
The sun is a soldier, out crawling the hills
setting fire to every house thatâs in view
lighting the ruin of my hope and my will
till Iâm like a shadow and Iâm falling on you,
crawling on you..
Oh you know how I do.. (repeat intro)
So sleep here with me and Iâll keep you close
for now while i try to live up to you
You canât see the challenge of this I suppose, but
time is a dare and Iâm trying to
You canât see the challenge of this I suppose, but
time is a dare and Iâm trying to
(repeat chorus chords for the last lines)
time is a dare and Iâm trying to ( 3x )
