Chords with lyrics

[Intro]

C majorC G+G C majorC G+G


[Verse 1]

C majorC G+G
 It’s not divine, it’s not intelligent design,
       E minorEm      C majorC        G+G  C majorC
it’s not the eucharist or your confession time
G+G
It’s just the path where we depart the most,

the cop, the kid, the Holy Ghost,
 E minorEm       C majorC           G+G
another scripture scribbled through with lines.

[Chorus]

    D MajorD           E minorEm       D MajorD
I don’t blame you for needing something to believe,
      C majorC
but give me hands that help instead of lips that pray,
           G+G  C majorC G+G
this isn’t judgement day.


[Verse 2]

C majorC G+G
 Your God is real, insofar as the shame he made you feel
       E minorEm
has caused a sadness
      C majorC        G+G
that you’re scared to leave behind
C majorC  G+G
Self-loathing in your bones, no hope for rolling back the stone,
       E minorEm      C majorC         G+G
you found mythology could ease your muddled mind.


[Chorus]

    D MajorD           E minorEm       D MajorD
I don’t blame you for needing something to believe,
      C majorC
but give me hands that help instead of lips that pray,
           G+G  C majorC G+G
this isn’t judgement day.

C majorC G+G


[Bridge]

 G+G
A augmentedA phonecall at the break of dawn

A augmentedA pain you’ve never felt before
E minorEm
Bad news in a soothing voice
 G+G
Another bloody lousy choice

Queue behind an old acquaintance

Pay the price for your impatience
E minorEm
Make eye contact as you leave
G+G
Wiping tears with your sleeve.

G+G
It’s sweaty palms on your big day

Forgot the psalm the preacher sang
E minorEm
Lose another awkward fight
       G+G
Then read the book of Job by candlelight

Skimmed over the obituaries

Typos in the prophecy
   E minorEm
These vineyards smell like cemeteries
      G+G
But there’s no such thing as booze for free.

E minorEm
Superstition or religion
G+G
in the church where you were christened
E minorEm
eyeing the collection tin
  G+G
Be sure to put your coppers in
C majorC
Politics and economics
  D MajorD
The nervous ticks of an alcoholic
C majorC
Waster in his father’s suit
  D MajorD
The rotting flesh of the forbidden fruit.

E minorEm
Meet me at the reservoir
  D MajorD
The world got smaller, things got harder
C majorC
Say a toast to an absent friend

Then tell yourself you’ll make amends
   E minorEm
Then lie again and say you’re fine
   D MajorD
Your breath smells like Communion wine
    C majorC
There’s nothing left round here for you

So do what you’re supposed to do.

  E minorEm
And meet meat the reservoir
   D MajorD                    C majorC
Your plans were scuppered from the very start
  E minorEm
The world got smaller, things got harder
 D MajorD              C majorC
A augmentedA fading light; another broken heart
                G+G
So come and meet me at the reservoir.


[Outro]

    D MajorD           E minorEm      D MajorD
I don’t blame you for needing something to believe,
      C majorC
in fact we all put faith in things we can’t explain
     E minorEm        D MajorD        C majorC
The way a funeral seems more poignant in the rain
      E minorEm       D MajorD          C majorC
But give me hands that help instead of lips that pray,
           G+G
