Intro: G C G
Verse 1:
G
If this is redemption, why do I bother at all?
Em C G
There's nothing to mention, and nothing has changed
C D Em
Still I'd rather be working at something, than praying for the rain
C D G
So I wander on, till someone else is saved
Verse 2 - same chords as Verse 1 -:
I moved to the coast, under a mountain
Swam in the ocean, slept on my own
At dawn i would watch the sun, cut ribbons through the bay
I'd remember all, the things my mother wrote
Chorus:
Em C G
That we don't eat until your father's at the table
Em C G
And we don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
Em C G D Em
And never once has any man I've met been able to love
C D G Gsus4 G
So if I were you, I'd have a little trust
Verse 3:
Two thousand years, I've been in that water
Two thousand years, sunk like a stone
Desperately reaching for nets that the fishermen have thrown
Trying to find a little bit of hope
Verse 4:
Me, I was holding, all of my secrets soft and hid
Pages were folded; then there was nothing at all
So if in the future I might, need myself a savior
I'll remember what was written on that wall
Chorus:
Em C G
That we don't eat until your father's at the table
Em C G
And we don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
Em C G D Em
And never once has any man I've met been able to love
C D G Gsus4 G
So if I were you, I'd have a little trust
Bridge:
Dm Em
Am I an honest man and true?
Dm
Have I been good to you at all?
Am
Oh I'm so tired of playing these games
We'd just be running down
G
The same old lines, the same old stories of
F
Breathless trains and, worn down glories
Am
Houses burning, worlds that turn
G
On their own
Chorus:
Em C G
That we don't eat until your father's at the table
Em C G
And we don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
Em C G D Em
And never once has any man I've met been able to love
C
So if I were you my friend
D G
Learn to have just a little bit of trust.
