Son Of God chords by Will Butler

Intro:

G - Bm - G - F# (x4)

[Verse 1]
G              Bm   G F#
I've been here forever in the cold
G                Bm G F#      G         Bm            G    F#
Waiting in the weather while you go out searching for our gold
G                 Bm  G F#            G      Bm     G  F#
But nothing lasts forever I've been told
G             Bm    G F#       G            Bm             G      F#
Nothing lasts forever, oh, but some of this shit's gettin' pretty old

[Chorus]
G     D      G          D
Oh oh oh, if the son of God
G                   D               G         D
Would come down and tell me what to do, to my face, now
G     D      G          D
Oh oh oh, if the son of God
G                       D         G        D
Would write it down for me in his own handwriting
G     D        G        D        G        D
Oh oh oh, then I'd be good, then I'd be good
  G            D
I swear I'd be good

G - Bm - G - F#

[Verse 2]
                     G   Bm   G   F#
But still you don't believe me
                 G Bm G F#               G Bm G F#
As if I would be lyin', as if I were a suspect
                 G Bm  G F#           G   Bm     G    F#
As if I were not crying, as if I was not forgiven
       G  Bm G F#      G        Bm      G   F#
For my sins, as if the mirror's broken
    G               Bm            G    F#
And I would get no chance on that side again

[Chorus]
G - D - G - D (x2)

G - Bm - G - F# (x4)

G             Bm   G F#         G             Bm   G F#
Softly and so sweetly, whisper near
G             Bm   G F#            G     Bm                  G  F#
Softly and so sweetly, because you never know who's gonna overhear
     G                 Bm   G F#        G     Bm   G  F#
Well, if you're gonna shame me, say my name
    G               Bm  G  F#         G       Bm     G       F#
And if you're gonna blame, well then, lay the blame, lay the blame
