AD2AD2
I've been out here for so long riding fences
AD2AD2
I don't know what it finally was that brought me to my senses
ED
Was it the cold? Was it the loneliness?
EDAD2AD2
Was it my shame at the sickness of my flesh?
Rebuilding fences is an introspective undertaking
There's no diversion to distract you from the deeper aching
I cut the wood, I swung the hammer
Every strike like a flash of understanding
Chorus:
E /DAD2
I have to say everything that's on my mind
AD2C#mD2
I can not keep it bottled up inside me
AD2A
I have to pray, it took me far too long to find out
D2
That my weakness is my testimony
AD2AD2AD2AD2AD2AD2

All my labor was the protest demonstration
Of a man who had the gall to call conviction condemnation
Till I cried for grace and I finally meant it
Till I left my pride behind me nailed to those fences

Up in this altitude the cold at night can kill
DF#m
My fingers got so numb, my body got so chilled
DC#m7Bm7
It seeps into your bones and devastates your will
ADAD
Oh, I'm not the strongest man, no, I'm not the only man
AD
No, I'm not the strongest man that's been broken in those hills
