D5              C5                 F5
Thumbs out on a desert road, I am told    
      A5
leads to nowhere
D5              C5
Any shade is as good as the next 
        F5              A5
if your shadow doesn't go there
E5                  F5
Week seven: did you really assume
    A5                        G5
I'd find some solace from the letter in your room?
E5                   F5
Next life, could you kindly refrain
     A5                       G5
from throwing yourself at the mercy of a train?


A5         F5        G5
Silence all, nobody breathe
                C5                F5
how in the world could you just leave
                  Bb5
You promised you would 
F5                  F5
silence that evil with good
A5         F5            G5
Hear me out, I have the floor
                 C5                  F5
I'll give you my tears, I'll listen more
                  Bb5
You promised you would 
F5              F5
overcome evil with good


D5                    C5 
Maybe this world is a barren place 
       F5            A5
for a soul prone to get lost
    D5                           C5 
But heaven still hounds from the smallest sounds 
        F5            A5
to the cries of the storm-tossed
E5              F5
Week nine: I am writing in the sand
A5                      G5
any small clue that can help me understand


E5                      F5
Every whispered secret, every muffled sigh
A5                        G5
every half-truth that was added to a lie


A5       F5          G5
Silence all, nobody move
                 C5                     F5
I've got to know now what you hoped to prove
                  Bb5
You promised you would 
F5                  F5
silence that evil with good
A5          F5                    G5
Shame feeds guilt, guilt needs release
               C5                   F5
you took it to God, you made your peace
                    Bb5
and swore that you would
F5              F5
overcome evil with good


E5                F5
Every old demon playing back the crime
A5                               G5
if they needed blood, I'd have gladly given mine
  E5                    F5
A child of the Kingdom , still an invalid
   A5                            G5
forgive her, please, Father, she don't know what she did


A5         F5            G5
Silence all, now go to sleep
             C5                  F5
the water is free, the well is deep
             Bb5
How can we return
F5                     F5
that which we never could earn?
A5      F5               G5
God, I long to see her face
              C5                 F5
we haven't a hope beyond Your grace
                 Bb5
I know that You will
F5        F5
overcome evil
     D5
for good
