Intro: G C G

VERSE 1



G            C                  G
if this is redemption, why do i bother at all
G            C                  G
theres nothing to mention, and nothing has changed
C            C            C            Em
still id rather be working at something, than praying for the rain
C            C            G
so i wander on, till someone else is saved


 
G            C            G
i moved to the coast, under a mountain
G            C            G
swam in the ocean, slept on my own
C            C            C            Em
at dawn i would watch the sun, cut ribbons through the bay
C            C            Em
id remember all, the things my mother wrote

Chorus

Em            C            G
that we dont eat until your fathers at the table
Em            C            G
we dont drink until the devils turned to dust
C            D                  Em
never once has any man ive met been able to love
C            C            G
so if i were you, id have a little trust

VERSE 2
G            C                  G
two thousand years, ive been in that water
G            C            G
two thousand years, sunk like a stone
C            C                Em
desperately reaching for nets that the fishermen have thrown
C            C            G
trying to find, a little bit of hope


G            C            G
me i was holding, all of my secrets soft and hid
G            C            G
pages were folded, then there was nothing at all
C            C            Em
so if in the future i might, need myself a saviour
C            C                  G
i'll remember what was, written on that wall

CHORUS

BRIDGE

C                  D
am i an honest man and true
D                  Em
have i been good to you at all
Em                        C
oh im so tired of playing these games


C
wed just be running down 
D                              D
the same old lines, the same old stories of
C                              D
breathless trains and, worn down glories
C                              D
houses burning, worlds that turn on their own
chorus
Em            C            G
that we dont eat until your fathers at the table
Em            C            G
we dont drink until the devils turned to dust
C            D                  Em
never once has any man ive met been able to love
C            C
so if i were you my friend
C            C            G
learn to have just a, little bit of trust.
