The Prince, The Idiot – Papercandle
Capo 3
[Verse 1]
C G D/F#
I've been staring at that face, trying to take something in
C Em D/F#
Hoping that the answers you give make sense
C G D/F#
And we seldom see your hand but we seldom feel the need
C D/F#
God, we're so cheap
[Chorus]
G D/F# Em D/F#
When you think you can't take anymore, when you think you can't hurt anymore
C G D/F#
You just wanna give it up and walk away cuz it's too hard I know
Em D/F# C D/F#
When you think you can't lose anymore and answers feel less like the cure
Em D/F# C
It's okay if the only prayer you have is 'hosanna'
[Verse 2]
C G D/F#
And I've burned a lot of candles down trying to get through the night
C Em D/F#
Looking at the suffering in the world and wondering why
C
And the only thing I've ever heard you would say
G D/F# Em C D/F#
is that the answer won't fit inside my mind, no matter how hard I try
[Final Chorus]
G D/F# Em D/F#
When you think you can't take anymore, when you think you can't hurt anymore
C G D/F#
You just wanna give it up and walk away cuz it's too hard I know
Em D/F# C D/F#
When you think you can't lose anymore and answers feel less like the cure
Em D/F# C
It's okay if the only prayer you have is 'hosanna'
Em D/F# C D/F#
Cuz sometimes when you're falling away you're getting closer
Em D/F# C D/F#
If there's one thing I see in the suffering Messiah
Em D/F# G
It's that more than we know, He loves us
