F G
Swinging on the lifeline
C F
Fraying bits of twine
F G
Entangled in the remnants of the
C F
Knot I left behind
Dm G
And asking you to help me make it
C F
Finally unwind
(Chorus)
C Bb F
But God never listens
Bb G C
to what I say
C Bb F
God never listens
Bb G C
to what I say
Am Bb
So very
Am Bb C
So very hard
C G
And you don't get a refund
F
if you overpray
F G
And when the line is breaking
C F
And when I'm near the end
F G
When all the time spent leading
C G
I've been following instead
F G
When all my thoughts and memories
C F
are left hanging by a thread
(Bridge)
C Bb
Stranded on this slender string
F Fm
the minutes seem to last a lifetime
C Bb
Dangling here between the light above
F Fm
and blue below that drag me down
back to. . .(Chorus)
C Bb F
But God never listens
etc.
