[Intro]
D G D
D A D
[Verse 1]
D G D
Is there something wrong in the way that I think
D A D
Well I think I need all the time
D G D
Cause there's nothing right in the way that I see
D A D
What someone deems true to me
[Chorus]
Em G D A
Oh I've sang for the funeral and I've sang for the wedding
Em G D A
Theres no amount of love, no more death that keeps me steady
Em G D A
Thirst in the spring and I'm drowning by fall
Em G D A D
If I can't have all of my pain I won't have none at all
[Interlude]
D G D
D A D
[Verse 2]
D G D
Did I say something wrong when I spoke to your son
D A D
When I begged down on bended knees
D G D
With an ache in my gut and a plea on my tongue
D A D
Another mouth you couldn't afford to feed
[Chorus]
Em G D A
Oh I prayed on the hilltop and I prayed in the valley
Em G D A
Theres no amount of trust, no good plea that makes it holy
Em G D A
Thirst in the spring and I'm drowning by fall
Em G D A Em G D A
Now what good is acting in faith when you don't have none at all
[Bridge]
Em G D A Em
I've spent my life trying to fit in someone else's skin
Em G D A Em
Left holding the hopes of what I wished I'd been
Em G D A Em
So I'm dreaming in fire but I'm smoking in shame
Em G D A Em
What if I'd burn it off, would I know my own face
Em G D A
What if I became only flame
Em G D A
What if I became only flame
Em G D A
What would be left of me to blame
Em G A D
How bright would I burn without all of the shame
[Outro]
