Ida - Late Blues

      Late Blues by Ida
From the 2005 album Heart Like a River

[Verse]
         Em
If I get lost along the way to meet you
       Bm
If I'm more than a little late
         Em
If I get caught up in circles chasing my own tail
          Bm
If I trip up and fail you
             Asus4 A
If I let you down
             G  Bm
If I let you do-own

[Verse]
      Em                                       Bm
I can see that injury that accompanies the passage of years
      Em                                     Bm
I can try to rationalize the accumulation of fear
        Em
And the dreams that draw a song in pursuit of the end of time
        Bm
And the grace that illuminates the past
             Asus4 A
If I let you down
             G  Bm
If I let you do-own

[Solo]
Em Bm Em Bm Asus A G Bm

[Verse]
       Em
In the night the city's quiet
                                          Bm
From the rooftop we can see the moon rise high above the clouds
       Em                                                          Bm
Just enough light to see our faces give expression to the words we thought but didn't speak
             Em
And then you asked me a question that I won't forget
                   Bm
Even if I spend my life trying to live up to what it means
             Asus4 A
If i let you down
             G Bm
If i let you down

[Solo]
Em Bm Em Bm

[Outro]
             Em
Don't let it break down
             Bm
Don't let it break
             A     G     Em
Don't let it break
