^GIf this is redemption, why do I bother at all There's^Em nothing to mention,^C/G and nothing has ^Gchanged ^C/GStill I'd rather be^D working at something, than^Em praying for the rain So I ^C/Gwander on, till^D someone else is ^Gsaved

^GI moved to the coast, under a mountain ^EmSwam in the ocean^C/G, slept on my o^Gwn ^C/GAt dawn I would w^Datch the sun cut ri^Embbons through the bay I'd ^C/Gremember all the t^Dhings my mother w^Grote

That we don't ^Emeat until your ^C/Gfather's at the ^Gtable We don't ^Emdrink until the ^C/Gdevil's turned to ^Gdust Never ^Emonce has any ^C/Gman I've met been ^Gable^G5 to^Em love So if ^C/GI were you, I'd ^Dhave a little^G trust

^GTwo thousand years, I've been in that water ^EmTwo thousand years,^C/G sunk like a^G stone ^C/GDesperately r^Deaching for nets That the ^Emfisherman have thrown ^C/GTrying to find, a ^Dlittle bit of^G hope

^GMe I was holding, all of my secrets soft and hid ^EmPages were folded,^C/G then there wa^Gs nothing at all ^C/GSo if in the f^Duture I might ^Emneed myself a savior I'll re^C/Gmember what was ^Dwritten on that^G wall

^DmAm I an honest man and ^Emtrue ^EmHave i been good to you ^Dmat all ^DmOh I'm so tired of playing t^Emhese games ^EmWe'd just be running down The^G same old lines, the same old stories of ^FBreathless trains and, worn down glories ^DmHouses burning, worlds that^G turn on their own

So we don't ^Emeat until your ^C/Gfather's at the ^Gtable We don't ^Emdrink until the ^C/Gdevil's turned to ^Gdust Never ^Emonce has any ^C/Gman I've met been ^Gable^G5 to^Em love So if ^C/GI were you my friend, I'd ^Dlearn to have just a little bit of ^Gtrust
