Weakness
Words and Music Copyright 2000 Robert Edgar
C Em Am C
Got nothing to teach you wouldn't learn better on your own.
F Am G G7
Not gonna hide my meaning, not gonna gladhand nor crow.
F Dm E F
What I'm gonna do, find out what feeds upset and anger so,
G7 Am7 E7
What makes us blind, what makes us deaf, what makes us weak.
C Em Am C
Down South, we were floating, in some cinderbrick building
F Am G G7
Seagulls spirling toward the mainland, leaning into rain.
F Dm E F
Later was so far away, seemed like having the same dream.
G7 Am7 E7
But one dream's not the same dream twice, now is it?
B7 E A7 D
Weak with anger, weak with pride,
G7 C Ddim
Weak like some oxygen-starved fool,
B7 E A7 D
Weak with blindsight, weak with lies,
G F E7
When I've been with you, friend, I've been weak.
BREAK
C Em Am C
Last night, feelin' fine, and the unmapped sky was spinning.
F Am G G7
And I realized that all moments are fresh on my cheek.
F Dm E F Fm
And how I keep forgetting, that time is only ours to own, up to,
Dm G E F
And that memory of floating in that dreamy southern flat,
G7 Am7 E7
And if we dirty our own water, well, who's fault is that?.
B7 E A7 D
Weak with loving, outside strife,
G7 C Ddim
Weak we slump a dozen times, in this chromatic life.
B7 E A7 D
Weak with knowing, too weak to stand
G F E7
It's the strength of love that plays us off this restive land.
