FI was born in southern Asia
Bb Dm
in a river filled of dust and gold
Fthere they have taught me how
Bbto grow and not be broken Dm
(hold Dm pattern reverses)
Dma broken after doubt
Dma doubt of the song,Bb a doubt of morning. F
Fthen to be alive in the moment of our youth
Bridge:
Dm hold slide to Bb then quick to F (2x)
Dmbeen baptized by these(3x)
Dmbeen baptized by these clouds that haBbve been pouring F
Dmwater from the sky fills our coats and keBbeps em overflowing F
(strumming picks up)
F to Dm 8 times
(sometimes hitthe 4th fret on the D string of Dm chord)
Fdon’t take us too soon its to soon to be swept away

Dmawkward to be exposed to be revealedBb in ways that we don??F?t care for

Fthis is my prayer, reduce the torment of my sins, bring me goo-ood music, fruit to eat for days
