Elle G chords by Newsboys

Verse 1:

 Dm        C        F
Thumbs out on a desert road I am told

     Am
Leads to nowhere

 Dm        C
Any shade is as good as the next

      F      Am
If your shadow doesn't go there

 Em         F
Week seven: Did you really assume

   Am            G
I'd find some solace from the letter in your room?

 Em          F
Next life, could you kindly refain

    Am            G
From throwing yourself at the mercy of a train?

Chorus 1:

 Am     Dm    G
Silence all, nobody breathe

       C          F
How in the world could you just leave?

          A#
You promised you would

            F
Silence that evil with good

 Am     Dm      G
Hear me out, I have the floor

          C         F
I'll give you my tears, I'll listen more

          A#
You promised you would

 F           Dm C F Am Dm C F Am Dm
Overcome evil with good

Verse 2:

 Dm           C         F
Maybe this world is a barren place for a soul

       Am
Prone to get lost

 Dm                C
But heaven still hounds from the smallest sounds

     F      Am
To the cries of the storm-tossed

 Em        F
Week nine: I am writing in the sand

 Am             G
Any little clue that could help me understand

 Em           F
Every whispered secret, every muffled sigh

 Am            G
Every half-truth that was added to a lie

Chorus 2:

 Am     Dm    G
Silence all, nobody move

          C          F
I've got to know now what you hoped to prove

         A#
You promised you would

  F
Silence that evil with good

 Am       Dm       G
Shame feeds guilt, guilt needs release

         C
You took it to God

        F
You made your peace

           A#
And swore that you would

          F
Overcome evil with good

Am F C F G Dm C Em Dm G

Verse 3:

 Em        F
Every old demon playing back the crime

 Am              G
If they needed blood, I'd have gladly given mine

 Em          F
A Child of the Kingdom; still an invalid

  Am
Forgive her, please Father

   G
She don't know what she did

Chorus 3:

 Am     Dm      G
Silence all, now go to sleep

       C         F
The water's free, the well is deep

       A#
How can we return

              F
That which we never could earn?

Am   Dm        G
God, I long to see her face

       C
We haven't a hope

       F
Beyond Your grace

         A#
I know that You will

       F
Overcome evil

    Dm
For good
