Intro:

C
 
Verse:
           C                         Am       C
It's been nine years of silence and forty of pain
        F                C
In the crosshairs of legacy
        C                            Am       C
But if you saw my patience with the hands of time
     F             C
You would be proud of me
 
        C                Am        C
'Cause all my religion's coming undone
       F                      Am
But I still feel the power of God
     C                           Am            C
He's my last companion when the guests all go home
        F                           C
And He don't care if I'm guilty or not

Chorus:
        C            F                       C
Oh, it comes out of nowhere like summertime rain
                         G                  Am
From a bright cloudless sky, it feels so insane
      C           F                         C
When love is the question that you can't return
                    G               C
It's cold and it's frightening, and we all get hurt
 
         C           F                         C
All the sunlight is ending, the curtain comes down
                   G                         Am
All the Angels of mercy have long left this town
        C          F                        C
You're running in circles and throwing out names
                 G             F          C       C  C  C
If you want the credit, guess we'll take the blame

Verse:
           C                        Am            C
There's a long distant memory of a smile on your face
     F                C
I'm too tired now to hold, dear
         C            Am        F             C
All the wrong kind of anger is crawling your skin
     F       G       C
The danger's always near
 
             C             Am             F             C
When you're armed with forgiveness and a knife in your back
            F           G       Am
There's no solace that you can trust
        C          Am             F            C
Holding on to the promise of the here and not yet
          F      G    C
Praying, God, deliver us
 
 
Chorus:
        C            F                       C
Oh, it comes out of nowhere like summertime rain
                         G                  Am
From a bright cloudless sky, it feels so insane
      C           F                         C
When love is the question that you can't return
                    G
It's cold and it's frightening, and we all get hurt
 
         C           F                         C
All the sunlight is ending, the curtain comes down
                   G                         Am
All the Angels of mercy have long left this town
        C          F                        C
You're running in circles and throwing out names
                 G             F          C       C
If you want the credit, guess we'll take the blame
