I Dmlie awake on this Cphone call, she's Dmdreaming of better Cdays D
Dm C Dm C D
Flowers lie on the counter, remind her of better days
She sends a prayer up to Jesus
And she asks him for his strength
And the night will go on bleeding
Was it faith that paid the rent?
Dm And I know you’re barely listening
C I know you’re barely listening
Dm I know you’re barely listening
C D
Now I know you’re….
I know you’re barely listening
I know you’re barely listening
I know you’re barely listening
Now I know you’re….
Standing here in a doorway with a candle and a gun
The light tears through open windows
For now the day has won
[Repeat chorus]
D C
Like a child on her way here
D D
You just smile and run the other way
And Dfaith won’t find you Ca reason
D D
It just smiles and runs the other way
D D
And It just smiles….
C C
It just smiles and runs the other way
It just smiles….
It just smiles and then runs the other way
(scat singing)
It’s not worth waiting
[Repeat chorus]
you can't shape love with a hammer,
and you can't shape love with a will,
what horror lies in knowing there's no faith that chaos can't kill
