[VERSE 1]
Em   Cmaj7   G                  Em  C  G
I am holding half an acre
Em            Cmaj7  G          Em  C  G
torn from the map  of Michigan
Em         Cmaj7     G          Em  C  G
and folded in   this scrap of paper
     F      C       G
is a land I grew in

Think of every   town you've lived in
Em        Cmaj7    G                 Em  C  G
every room     you lay your head
    Em        C     G                Em  C  G
and what is it that you remember?

Do you carry every sadness with you
F     C         G         Em
every hour your heart was broken
F     C         G        Em
every night the fear and darkness
F        C        G
lay down with you

A man is walk - ing on the highway
  Em    Cmaj7     G                Em  C  G
A woman stares out at the sea
    Em       Cmaj7   G             Em  C  G
and light is on - ly now just breaking
