Intro: G C G
VERSE 1
G C G
if this is redemption, why do i bother at all
G C G
theres nothing to mention, and nothing has changed
C C C Em
still id rather be working at something, than praying for the rain
C C G
so i wander on, till someone else is saved
G C G
i moved to the coast, under a mountain
G C G
swam in the ocean, slept on my own
C C C Em
at dawn i would watch the sun, cut ribbons through the bay
C C Em
id remember all, the things my mother wrote
Em C G
that we dont eat until your fathers at the table
Em C G
we dont drink until the devils turned to dust
C D Em
never once has any man ive met been able to love
C C G
so if i were you, id have a little trust
VERSE 2
G C G
two thousand years, ive been in that water
G C G
two thousand years, sunk like a stone
C C Em
desperately reaching for nets that the fishermen have thrown
C C G
trying to find, a little bit of hope
G C G
me i was holding, all of my secrets soft and hid
G C G
pages were folded, then there was nothing at all
C C Em
so if in the future i might, need myself a saviour
C C G
i'll remember what was, written on that wall
CHORUS
BRIDGE
C D
am i an honest man and true
D Em
have i been good to you at all
Em C
oh im so tired of playing these games
C
wed just be running down
D D
the same old lines, the same old stories of
C D
breathless trains and, worn down glories
C D
houses burning, worlds that turn on their own
Em C G
that we dont eat until your fathers at the table
Em C G
we dont drink until the devils turned to dust
C D Em
never once has any man ive met been able to love
C C
so if i were you my friend
C C G
learn to have just a, little bit of trust.
