"All That Hammering" - John Gorka from "Temporary Road" 1992

Capo 3rd fret

Intro: D  Bm  G  A  twice

  D             Bm          G             A  
I used to think joy was the break between sorrow

     D             Bm            G      A
Like peace was the break between wars

    D            Bm          G      A    
I'm still partly new now but mostly older

D        Bm         G     A 
I cannot say I'm so sure


Chorus 1:
  G             Bm/F#        Em             A 
I never trusted happiness as far as I could throw it

G          Bm/F#         Em                   A 
Always preparing for the worst 'cause I would know it

G           Bm/F#            Em     A 
All of that hammering in the dark

       G        Em             D    Bm   G   A     
Like a new Noah working on his ark


I may look back at today and feel foolish
My old view was right all along
I will rush in where no angels are walking
And fight for the right to be wrong

repeat Chorus 1

Chorus 2 (same chords as chorus 1):
Between my potential and the deep blue sea
There's a rock and a diamond either side of me
Between our potential and the break of day
There is nothing at all in our way
