How you led me straight to you

As the stars of heaven do

And the road winds silky smooth

(strum):
          G
Like the line
          D
Like the leaf
          Em
Like the road
       C
Underneath

           G
And I'm bound
        D
To believe
            Em             C
You are waiting there for me

          Am            C           G
Like the line down the center of a leaf

pick Em C G D (repeat 2x)

(Verse 2)

        Em        C           G     D
And my fingers unfold your hand
        Em            C       G     D
place a token found from the land
        Em              C     G     D
and it rolls down your curled palm

        G    D
And it rolls on,
        Em   C
And it rolls on,
        G    D
And we roll on,
        Em   C
And we roll on,

          Am             C          G
Like the line down the center of a leaf

(Verse 3)

Em                     C       G     D
How you ever take the middle ground
Em                        C          G    D
Children quarrel but you show them calm
E                       C      G      D
With your voice and a simple song

         G
For the Love
           D
that you share
          Em
I know you'll
            C
always be there

           G
And I'm bound
        D
To believe
            Em             C
You are waiting there for me

          Am            C           G
Like the line down the center of a leaf

(Verse 4)

        Em          C     G      D
Now you hold me close tonight
        Em        C     G     D
How we fold together right
       Em     C         G      D
And I fall within your lines

            G
'tween the right
          D
And the left
       Em
It is you
                    C
who fits (knows) me best

          G
And I'm bound
      D
to believe
             Em
That's it's you
               C
Who holds my sleeve

          Am            C           G
Like the line down the center of a leaf

(Verse 5)

        Em       C     G      D
And you barely make a sound
        Em       C     G      D
As we cross forbidden ground
        Em       C     G      D
While I walk my kisses down

          G
Like the pen
          D
Like the ink
          Em
Like the pages
      C
Underneath

          G
Now the story
           D
Has been told
       Em
It is you
          C
I wanna hold
 

          Am            C           G
Like the line down the center of a leaf
