If it were up to me to build this place
E7 F
Well I'd have made the miles it takes a little shorter
G C

E7
And soak up all the Finger Lakes
F G
So I could straighten the lines
F C G
Yeah, so I could straighten the lines to anywhere.

And if I was told to know my place
E7 F

A finger on my pulse because

I think that it's strongest there

Yeah, I think that it's strongest there near you.

If the ground should start to break

With each other, or at least I hope they would.

If any part of us should start to die
E7 F
I'd dig a well and bleed it dry and wait there

For something to breathe 'cos I believe or at least I try

That nothing is just born to die
