Bb               Dm                  C    
Depth over distance every time, my dear 
And this tree of ours may grow tall in the woods 
But it's the roots that will bind us here 
To the ground 
 
Bb              Dm                      C   
Depth over distance was all I asked of you 
And I may be foolish to fall as I do 
Is there strength in the blindness you fear 
If you're coming too 
If you're coming too 
 
F                                      C                                        
So hold on, wait until that long (lone?) sun 
                                              Dm  
Breaks from the arms of the Lord 
F                                                   C 
Yeah hold on, though we may be too young 
                                      Dm  
To know this ride we're on 
 
Depth over distance was all I asked of you 
And everybody round here's acting like a stone 
Still there's things I'd do, darling, I'd go blind for you 
If you let it go sometimes, let it go sometimes, let it go 
Just let it go sometimes 
 
So hold on, wait until that long (lone?) sun 
Breaks from the arms of the Lord 
Yeah hold on, though we may be too young 
To know this ride we're on 
Yeah hold on, though we may be too young 
To know this ride we're on 
 
Depth over distance every time, my dear, 
And I may be foolish to fall as I do 
Still there's strength in the blindness you fear 
If you're coming too 
If you're coming too 
 
So hold on, wait until that long (lone?) sun 
Breaks from the arms of the Lord 
And hold on, though we may be too young 
To know this ride we're on 
To know this ride we're on 
To know this ride we're in
