Tuning: E A D G B E
Dave's acoustic version here is intense and awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhI8IMQtup8 The chords sound best if you get the hammer-on's going on the C, Am and F chords in the verse (Hammer-on/pull-off on the middle note in each chord) [Verse 1]
I Cnever got to kGiss yG7our Amhead, ah, EFmme And the Ccall came the Gweek I got diFvorced I Cthought I had a Greal underAmstanding then of Floss But I Cdidn't know a Gthing 'til you were Fgone And I'm Ctired of trying to Gfind some sort of Ammeaningful Fthing In making Csense of such Gunspeakable Floss But as I'm Cstaring at your Gfolks, the sweetest Ampeople I Fknow I get a Cglimpse of what it Gis to be Fstrong Just holding Chands and sobbinGg with sunglasses Fon
[Chorus]
F'Cause nothing tuned me Cin to abFsurdity as Cfast As a Fgravestone with the Cname of a Ambaby that has Gpassed I used to Fwanna be Cimportant, now I just Amwanna be Galive And withoutF fear G
You got to persevere [Instrumental] C G G7 Am F
C(x2G) F
[Verse 2]
I Ccouldn't count the Gtimes G7I've Amragged on Fheaven As an Copiate Ginvented by the Fweak It's an Cargument I Ghate 'cause I'm Fcontent to love the Cfates But it Ccomes up a lot with GEmme's dad and Fme So I'mC shotgun in the Gcar and we're just Amshooting the Fshit And Cpredictably, the Gtalking turns to FGod So I Cthrow him Gforty lines how I don't Amthink he Fexists And he just Csmiles and takes a Gdignified Fpause Says, "It's oCkay to feel Gunbelievably Flost"
[Chorus]
But FGod is full of Cgrace and his Ffaithfulness is Cvast There is Fsafety in the Cmoments when the Amshit has hit the Gfan Not some Fvindictive Cmotherfucker, nor is Amhe shitty at his Gjob What words to Fhear G
And I'm a mess by now
'Cause noFthing tuned me Cin to my Ffailure as Cfast As Fgrieving for a Cfriend with more Ambelief than I Gpossessed "It's not some Fdisembodied Cheaven," he Amassured me Then he Glaughs and says through Ftears G "You got to FperseCvere" Am G FPerseCvere Am G FPerseCvere Am G FPerseCvere Am G

We threw a Fparty up in Chere, but AmGod, it was bitterGsweet I live Fhard 'cause I am Cscared that I Amwon't mean Ganything So now I'm Fpraying to the Cceiling, to the Amwindows, to the Gwalls Against this Fsudden sinking Cfeeling that there's Amnothing there at Gall
And still we just persevere [Outro]
