G If this is redemption, why do I bother at all? Em C G There's nothing to mention, and nothing has changed C D Still I'd rather be working at something, Em than praying for the rain C D G So I wander on, till someone else is saved I moved to the coast, under a mountain Swam in the ocean, slept on my own At dawn I would watch the sun cut ribbons through the bay I'd remember all the things my mother wrote Chorus: Em C G That we don't eat until your father's at the table Em C G And we don't drink until the devil's turned to dust Em C And never once has any man G D/F# Em I've met been able to love C D G So if I were you, I'd have a little trust Two thousand years, I've been in that water Two thousand years, sunk like a stone Desperately reaching for nets That the fishermen have thrown Trying to find, a little bit of hope Me I was holding, all of my secrets soft and hid Pages were folded, then there was nothing at all So if in the future I might need myself a savior I'll remember what was written on that wall Chorus Dm Em Am I an honest man and true? Dm Have I been good to you at all? Am Oh I'm so tired of playing these games We'd just be running down G The same old lines, the same old stories of F Breathless trains and, worn down glories Am Houses burning, worlds that turn G On their own Chorus: So we don't eat until your father's at the table We don't drink until the devil's turned to dust Never once has any man I've met been able to love So if I were you my friend, I'd learn to have just a little bit of trust You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  D  Dm  Em  F  F#  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
