G If this is redemption, why do I bother at all Em C/G G There's nothing to mention, and nothing has changed C/G D Em Still I'd rather be working at something, than praying for the rain C/G D G So I wander on, till someone else is saved G I moved to the coast, under a mountain Em C/G G Swam in the ocean, slept on my own C/G D Em At dawn I would watch the sun cut ribbons through the bay C/G D G I'd remember all the things my mother wrote Em C/G G That we don't eat until your father's at the table Em C/G G We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust Em C/G G G5 Em Never once has any man I've met been able to love C/G D G So if I were you, I'd have a little trust G Two thousand years, I've been in that water Em C/G G Two thousand years, sunk like a stone C/G D Desperately reaching for nets Em That the fisherman have thrown C/G D G Trying to find, a little bit of hope G Me I was holding, all of my secrets soft and hid Em C/G G Pages were folded, then there was nothing at all C/G D Em So if in the future I might need myself a savior C/G D G I'll remember what was written on that wall Em C/G G That we don't eat until your father's at the table Em C/G G We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust Em C/G G G5 Em Never once has any man I've met been able to love C/G D G So if I were you, I'd have a little trust Dm Em Am I an honest man and true Em Dm Have i been good to you at all Dm Em Oh I'm so tired of playing these games Em We'd just be running down G The same old lines, the same old stories of F Breathless trains and, worn down glories Dm G Houses burning, worlds that turn on their own Em C/G G So we don't eat until your father's at the table Em C/G G We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust Em C/G G G5 Em Never once has any man I've met been able to love C/G D G So if I were you my friend, I'd learn to have just a little bit of trust
