C5            F5               C5            F5 
what will be left when i've drawn my last breath,
  A5                   F5                     G5       G5
besides the folks i've met and the folks who know me,
C5         F5        C5           F5 
will i discover a soul saving love, (or)
  A5              F5          G5       G5
or just the dirt above and below me,


       F5       C5 
i'm a doubting thomas,
F5            C5 
   i took a promise,
F5           G5        C5     C5
   but i do not feel safe,
A5          G5       F5 C5 , F5 C5 , F5 G5 C5 (like intro) 
   oh me of little faith,


C5           F5          C5           F5
sometimes i pray for a slap in the face,
       A5        F5                   G5 
then i beg to be spared 'cause i'm a coward,
             C5         F5                   C5           F5
if there's a master of death i'll bet he's holding his breath,
              A5                 F5              G5
as i show the blind and tell the deaf about his power,


      F5        C5
i'm a doubting thomas,
F5                  C5
   i can't keep my promises,
F5                 G5           C5      C5
   'cause i don't know what's safe,
A5          G5       F5 C5 , F5 C5 , F5 G5 
   oh me of little faith

(BRIDGE)
Ab5
can i be used to help others find truth,
A5
when i'm scared i'll find proof that its a lie,
Ab5
can i be lead down a trail dropping bread crumbs,
A5
that prove i'm not ready to die,

C5              F5         C5          F5
please give me time to decipher the signs,
          A5          F5              G5  G5  G5  G5
please forgive me for time that i've waaaaaaaasted,

      F5        C5
i'm a doubting thomas,
F5                 C5
   i'll take your promise,
F5                G5        C5      C5
   though i know nothin's safe,
A5          G5       F5 C5 ,  F5 C5 ,               F5 G5 C5 
   oh me of little faith    oh me of little faith
