Intro: G5 C5 G5

VERSE 1



G5            C5                  G5
if this is redemption, why do i bother at all
G5            C5                  G5
theres nothing to mention, and nothing has changed
C5            C5            C5            E5
still id rather be working at something, than praying for the rain
C5            C5            G5
so i wander on, till someone else is saved


 
G5            C5            G5
i moved to the coast, under a mountain
G5            C5            G5
swam in the ocean, slept on my own
C5            C5            C5            E5
at dawn i would watch the sun, cut ribbons through the bay
C5            C5            E5
id remember all, the things my mother wrote

Chorus

E5            C5            G5
that we dont eat until your fathers at the table
E5            C5            G5
we dont drink until the devils turned to dust
C5            D5                  E5
never once has any man ive met been able to love
C5            C5            G5
so if i were you, id have a little trust

VERSE 2
G5            C5                  G5
two thousand years, ive been in that water
G5            C5            G5
two thousand years, sunk like a stone
C5            C5                E5
desperately reaching for nets that the fishermen have thrown
C5            C5            G5
trying to find, a little bit of hope


G5            C5            G5
me i was holding, all of my secrets soft and hid
G5            C5            G5
pages were folded, then there was nothing at all
C5            C5            E5
so if in the future i might, need myself a saviour
C5            C5                  G5
i'll remember what was, written on that wall

CHORUS

BRIDGE

C5                  D5
am i an honest man and true
D5                  E5
have i been good to you at all
E5                        C5
oh im so tired of playing these games


C5
wed just be running down 
D5                              D5
the same old lines, the same old stories of
C5                              D5
breathless trains and, worn down glories
C5                              D5
houses burning, worlds that turn on their own
chorus
E5            C5            G5
that we dont eat until your fathers at the table
E5            C5            G5
we dont drink until the devils turned to dust
C5            D5                  E5
never once has any man ive met been able to love
C5            C5
so if i were you my friend
C5            C5            G5
learn to have just a, little bit of trust.
