Db (x43121@1)              Bbm (x13321@1)              Db (x43121@1)               BbmIn (x13321@1)the time of my confession, in the hour of my deepest need
         Db (x43121@1)          Bbm (x13321@1)                 Ab (xx1114@1) Absus   AbWhen (xx1114@1)the pool of tears beneath my feet flood every newborn seed
          Db (x43121@1)        Bbm (x13321@1)     Db (x43121@1)             BbmThere's (x13321@1)a dyin' voice within me reaching out somewhere,
Db (x43121@1)           Bbm (x13321@1)         Ab (xx1114@1)    Asusb  AbToiling (xx1114@1)in the danger and in the morals of despair.
                 Ab7 (xx1112@1)              Db (x43121@1)           AbDon't (xx1114@1)have the inclination to look back on any mistake,
                 Ab7 (xx1112@1)                 Db (x43121@1)                AbLike (xx1114@1)Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break.
       Db (x43121@1)         Bbm (x13321@1)       Db (x43121@1)              BbmIn (x13321@1)the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand
     Db (x43121@1)           Bbm (x13321@1)        Ab (xx1114@1)   Absus      DbIn (x43121@1)every leaf that trembles and, in every grain of sand.
Db (x43121@1)               Bbm (x13321@1)              Db (x43121@1)           BbmOh, (x13321@1)the flowers of indulgence and the weeds of yesteryear,
Db (x43121@1)                      Bbm (x13321@1)                 Ab (xx1114@1)     Absus
Like criminals, they have choked the breath of conscience and good
Abcheer. (xx1114@1)Db (x43121@1)              Bbm (x13321@1)             Db (x43121@1)              BbmThe (x13321@1)sun beat down upon the steps of time to light the way
  Db (x43121@1)              Bbm (x13321@1)            Ab (xx1114@1)  Absus  AbTo (xx1114@1)ease the pain of idleness and the memory of decay.
Ab (xx1114@1)            Ab7 (xx1112@1)      Db (x43121@1)               AbI (xx1114@1)gaze into the doorway of temptation's angry flame
Ab (xx1114@1)            Ab7 (xx1112@1)            Db (x43121@1)           AbAnd (xx1114@1)every time I pass that way I always hear my name.
    Db (x43121@1)          Bbm (x13321@1)     Db (x43121@1)        BbmThen (x13321@1)onward in my journey I come to understand
Db (x43121@1)               Bbm (x13321@1)         Ab (xx1114@1)           DbThat (x43121@1)every hair is numbered like every grain of sand.
Db (x43121@1)                     Bbm (x13321@1)         Db (x43121@1)         BbmI (x13321@1)have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night
Db (x43121@1)                 Bbm (x13321@1)                   Ab (xx1114@1)   Absus    AbIn (xx1114@1)the violence of a summer's dream, in the chill of a wintry light,
       Db (x43121@1)            Bbm (x13321@1)      Db (x43121@1)        BbmIn (x13321@1)the bitter dance of loneliness fading into space,
       Db (x43121@1)             Bbm (x13321@1)        Ab (xx1114@1) Absus    AbIn (xx1114@1)the broken mirror of innocence on each forgotten face.
Ab (xx1114@1)               Ab7 (xx1112@1)              Db (x43121@1)         AbI (xx1114@1)hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea
Ab (xx1114@1)                      Ab7 (xx1112@1)                Db (x43121@1)           Ab (xx1114@1)Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.
Db (x43121@1)                Bbm (x13321@1)        Db (x43121@1)             BbmI (x13321@1)am hanging in the balance of a perfect finished plan
      Db (x43121@1)         Bbm (x13321@1)         Ab (xx1114@1)            DbLike (x43121@1)every sparrow falling, like every grain of sand
