[Em][Asus4][G]

[Verse 1]
You [G]followed me 4 [C],000 miles
from [G]all we'd ever [D]known
[Em]Closed your eyes and [C]stepped into
a [G]dream that's not your [C]own
A [G]walk to unforgiv[C]ing cold,
[G]the ground is hard as [D]steel
And [Em]hunger only [C]overcome
by [G]faith in [C]stone[Bm][Am]
I [G]rushed to build a [C]soddy
before [G]the storms ar[D]rived
It [Em]barely drove us [C]crazy,
nearly [G]buried [D]us [C]alive
But [G]time sure passes [C]slowly,
in a [G]musty earthen [D]mound
[Em]Rid ing out the wint[C]er,
twenty [G]miles from [D]Edentown[G][C]
[D]Though life in North Dakota
[G]ain't a perfec[C]t paradise
I've [D]never heard you [G]once complain,
[C]I've never heard you cry
[G]I b[C]e l[D]ieve it's getting bett[G]er,
yet at [C]times I'm still afraid
[Bm]Less than you deserve,
[C]but you stay wit[G]h me[D][C][G][C][G][D]
[Em]
[C][G][D][C][G][C][G][D]
[Em][C][G][D][C][G]
[C]You rea[G]d that faded letter[C],
its [G]pages wearing [D]thin
Cling[Em]ing to the [C]voices
you'll [G]never [D]hear [G]again[C]
By [G]candlelight you [C]close your eyes
and [G]taste the salty [D]air
[Em]Papa mends the net[C]s again
while [G]Mama braids your [C]hair
[Am]Though [D]life in North Dakota
[G]ain't a perfec[C]t paradise
I nev[D]er [Em]heard you [G]once complain
[C]I never hea[Am]rd you cry[D]
I believe it's getting bet[G]ter
Yet at [C]times I'm still afraid
[Bm]Less than you deserve
[C]But you [G]stay with me [D]anyway[C]
I [G]hope to [Bm]build a [C]home for you
When [G]all the crops are [D]in
[Em]Bear another win[C]ter,
so [G]the barn it [D]feels [C]again
