Verse 1:
DmDm
I saw the desert wind
G+G
Tear across the wilderness
DmDm            G+G
I felt it blowing off the page
D MajorD
My teacher told me, "son
G+G
Always remember this"
DmDm           G+G   DmDm G+G
And I have always been afraid

 DmDm
I read about the god of Moses
G+G
Roaring in the holy cloud
DmDm             G+G
It shook my bedroom window panes
D MajorD
I did not understand then
G+G
I do not understand now
DmDm            G+G
I don't expect you to explain


Chorus:
FF                A#A#          FF A#A#
You've been a mystery since the moment that I met you
FF             A#A#           FF A#A#
You never move but I can never seem to catch you
        D MajorD G+G D MajorD
The cornerstone


Verse 2:
DmDm
You said to eat your flesh
 G+G
Before you broke the bread and blessed it
DmDm                  G+G
Before you poured the wine for every man
D MajorD
This is a hard, hard teaching
G+G
Can any man accept it?
DmDm            G+G
Can any sage here understand?

DmDm
You turned the tables over
G+G
There in your father's temple
DmDm                G+G
You cracked a whip and raised a shout
D MajorD
My daughter asked me why
G+G
I said, "love is never simple
DmDm            G+G
It draws 'em in and drives 'em out."

Chorus:
FF             A#A#              FF A#A#
I saw you there but it was too late to change my course
FF           A#A#            FF A#A#
And I collided with a beautiful immovable force
        D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
The Cornerstone
D MajorD        G+G
And so the stone that I rejected
D MajorD         G+G
It has become the cornerstone
D MajorD        G+G
And so the stone that I rejected
D MajorD         G+G
It has become the cornerstone

D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G


Bridge:
D MajorD
All the maps were drawn
D MajorD
But the maps were wrong
G+G
The stars spin around
G+G
Another sun
D MajorD
All the maps were drawn
D MajorD
But the maps were wrong
G+G
The rivers are running from
G+G        D MajorD
The cornerstone


Chorus:
FF              A#A#               FF A#A#
You looked me in the eye and fixed me with a permanent stare
FF              A#A#              FF A#A#
I met your gaze and saw the forges of the firmament there
        D MajorD
The cornerstone


Outro:
DmDm          G+G
And the floods come up
DmDm           G+G
And the rains come down
DmDm
And the floods come up
G+G
And the rains come down
DmDm
And the floods come up
G+G
And the rains come down
