Shifting Sand chords by Caedmons Call

Difficulty: Beginner



G   C          D            Dsus
Sometimes I believe all the lies
         G             C           D   Dsus
So I can do the things I should despise
G   C     D        Dsus
And every day I am swayed
       G       C     D   D2
By whatever is on my mind

G C             D           Dsus
I hear it all depends on my faith
       G          C   D  Dsus
So I'm feeling precarious
G        C         D               Dsus
The only problem I have with these mysteries
   G            C    D  Dsus
Is they're so mysterious

Em    D                         G
  And like a consumer I've been thinking
                C              Em
If I could just get a bit more
             D                  G
More than my fifteen minutes of faith,
         C2
Then I'd be secure
  [CHORUS]
G             C
My faith is like shifting sand
Em         D     C2
Changed by every wave
G             C
My faith is like shifting sand
     Em    D  C2
So I stand on grace

[TRANSITION]
C2              G C D, G C D
(Stand on grace)

  [VERSE 2]
G    C          D        Dsus
I've begged you for some proof
       G      C       D   Dsus
For my Thomas eyes to see
G            C          D     Dsus
A slithering staff, a leprous hand
    G           C      D  D2
And lions resting lazily

Em                D
A glimpse of your back-side glory
         G            C           Em
And this soaked altar going ablaze
        D                  G
But you know I've seen so much
      C2
I explained it away

((Chorus)

  [BRIDGE]
D
Waters rose as my doubts rained
C
My sand-castle faith, it slipped away
Em                             D
Found myself standing on your grace
                Dsus    D
It'd been there all the time

(((Chorus)
((Transition)
