The Power Lines

Nobody seems to care about you
With your tool case by the roadside
There beneath the power lines
Or the pallor of your skin
Paled beneath fluorescent lights
In a Greyhound station's cruel midnight
Where you can't afford the ride

[Chorus:]
Oh, the power lines
They go from sea to [C7]sea
They carry voices
Love from him to [C7]me

The power lines you [A7fall [Em]beneath
Are the ɾainbows you [A7can't climb
And you [A7will not climb the power lines
You are lost beneath the power lines
There's no place that you [A7haven't been
And no place that you [A7call [Em]your home
There's no place that you [A7cannot go
With the gift within your hands
And the tools to [C7]build another's dream
That connects them [A]to [C7]the power lines
You do not feel you [A7need

[Chorus: Repeat 2X]
