Take The Blame

Tuning: E A D G B E 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 [Instrumental] F C G Am C F C G F C 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 [Instrumental/Outro] F C G Am C F C G F C
