Verse:
C                   F
The sinner’s in the hospital room

The saint is in the bed
Am                           F
We don’t know what went wrong
Am                        F
All we believed in is gone
C                  F
The city smells of vicious perfume
C                F
And all above is dead

I don’t know where I’m from
Am                          G
All I know is I don’t belong

How long till we drink the holy water

How long can we survive?
F         G             Am                F
I’m on my knees begging please let it flow
G*           C
This font is dry

Am                         G
All I need’s some direction

I fear that this font is dry

Throw our arms around it we could make a change

We could shout about it

Spill some blood around it and make the same mistakes
