[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C
I know that fan is moving Amair,
Em
I can see it in your hair,
Dm F
But I can't bear to breathe it in someAmhow,
Dm
..I'll rise and fall with you
F C
'Cause you can't fail me now,
Dm
..I'll rise and fall with you
F C
'Cause you can't fail me now
[Verse 2]
C Am
The salt is sweet upon my mouth,
Em G
Dark throws sparks against my house,
Dm F Am
The stain of love's a smudge upon my brow,
Dm
But you see through me,
F C
And you can't fail me now.
Dm
You see right through me
F C
And you can't fail me now.
[Verse 3]
C Am
I've bit off more than I can chew,
Em G
It's something that I tend to do
Dm F Am
When fewer words are what we need, and how.
Dm
You bite my tongue
F C
And you can't fail me now,
Dm
I ran to the rail,
F C
And you can't fail me now.
[Solo]
C Am Em G Dm F Am Am
Dm F Am Am Dm F C C C C
[Bridge]
F G
I've lost the thread among the vines,
C Am
And hung myself in story lines,
F C
That tell the tales I never would allow.
F G
God knows the name of every bird,
C Am
That fills my mind like angry words,
F G
But you know all my secret heart avows…….
[Verse 4]
C Am
We're taught to love the worst of us,
Em G
And mercy more than life but trust me
Dm F Am
Mercy's just a warning shot across the bow,
Dm
I live for yours
F C
And you can't fail me now,
Dm F C
I live for your mercy...
Em Am
You can't fail me now,
F G C
You can't fail me now.
