Tower Song Townes Van Zandt
Capo on 4
[C]so [Em]close and yet so [Dm]far awa[F]y[G7]
[G7]and all the things I'd [F]hope to [C]say
[F]will have to go [Em]unsaid [Am]today
[F]perhaps until to[G7]morrow
[C]your [Em]fears have built a [Dm]wall betwe[F]en[G7]
[G7]our lives and all that [F]loving [C]means
[F]will have to go un[Em]felt it [Am]seems
[F]leaving only [G]sorrow
Chorus:
[F]You built your tower [G]strong and [Em]tall
[F]Can't you see it's [G]got to fall [C]someday
you close your eyes and speak to me
of faith and love and destiny
as distant as eternity
the wind blows cold outside your door
it whispers words I've tried before
but you don't hear me anymore
you're pride's just too demanding
Repeat Chorus
the end is coming soon it's plain
a warm bed just ain't worth the pain
and I will go and you'll remain
with bitterness we've tasted
a mother's breast a new born child
a poet's tears a drunken smile
i can't help thinking all the while
their meaning won't be wasted
Repeat Chorus
