A Life Preserved by Steve Taylor And The Perfect Foil




       A Life Preserved 







Verse 1:

Em
Bobbing for air, 
          C
I'm back again
          Em
A perfect ten of a dive 
          C
without a pool
          Em               D
A perfect fool too slow to know
                  C
His wind has been knocked out 
         Em       D
till I'm gasping

Em
Bobbing for air, 
            C
been up and down
           Em
The once renown, 
                    C
angling for another act
        Em         D     
Another tactical advance 
             C
to who knows where
             Em
You found me there, 
            D
I heard you there

Chorus:

Em         G
Calling me out of the 
C              G
shallows of my world
G
Called to something graceful, 
          D
something true
Em              G
Gratitude's too cheap a word 
    C              G
for all you've reassembled
G                          D
From a spirit broken and unnerved

          Em      
A life preserved   

Verse 2:

Em
Bobbing for air, 
           C
I've been atoned
         Em
Creation groaned 
                C
to lift me as I drowned
           Em
And set my feet up on the 
D                 C
mound of rock you crushed for me
           Em                 D
A place to stand, whisper a command

Chorus:

Em         G
Calling me out of the 
C              G
shallows of my world
G
Called to something graceful, 
          D
something true
Em              G
Gratitude's too cheap a word 
    C              G
for all you've reassembled
G                          D
From a spirit broken and unnerved

          Em      
A life preserved   

Verse 3:

Em
Bobbing for air, 
            C
I have been served
          Em
A life preserved 
                    C
after all I'd cast away
               Em
You tipped the grayscale 
         D                   C
till the scales fell back to earth
          E                 D
And I saw colors, I heard a shout

Chorus:

Em         G
Calling me out of the 
C              G
shallows of my world
G
Called to something graceful, 
          D
something true
Em              G
Gratitude's too cheap a word 
    C              G
for all you've reassembled
G                          D
From a spirit broken and unnerved 
          Em
A life preserved
