[VERSE]
G D
Yea I've come to know the wishlist of my father
G D
I've come to know the shipwrecks where he wished
Bm A G D
I've come to wish aloud among the over-dressed crowd
D A D
Come to witness now the sinking of the ship
D A D
Throwing pennies from the sea top next to it
[VERSE]
G D
And I've come to roam the forest past the village
G D
With a dozen lazy horses in my cart
Bm A
I've come here to get high,
G D
To do more than just get by.
D A D
I've come to test the timber of my heart
D A D
Oh, I've come to test the timber of my heart
[CHORUS]
G D
And I've come to be untroubled in my seeking
G D
And I've come to see that nothing is for naught
Bm A
I've come to reach out blind
G D
to reach forward and behind
D A D
For the more I seek the more I'm sought
D A D
Yea, the more I seek the more I'm sought.

[VERSE]
G D
And I've come to meet the sheriff and his posse
G D
To offer him the broadside of my jaw
Bm A
I've come here to get broke
G D
Then maybe bum a smoke
D A D
We'll go drinking two towns over after all
D A D
Oh, we'll go drinking two towns over after all.
[VERSE]
G D
And I've come to meet the legendary takers
G D
I've only come to ask them for a lot
Bm A
Oh they say I come with less
G D
than I should rightfully possess
D A D
I say the more I buy the more I'm bought
D A D
And the more I'm bought the less I cost
[CHORUS]
G D
And I've come to take their servants and their surplus
G D
And I've come to take their raincoats and their speed
Bm A
I've come to get my fill
G D
To ransack and spill
D A D
I've come to take the harvest for the seed
D A D
I've come to take the harvest for the seed

Bm A G D
[VERSE]
G D
And I've come to know the manger that you sleep in
G D
I've come to be the stranger that you keep
Bm A
I've come from down the road
G D
And my footsteps never slowed
D A D
Before we met, I knew we'd meet
D A D
Before we met, I knew we'd meet
[VERSE]
G D
And I've come here to ignore your cries and heartaches
G D
I've come to closely listen to you sing
Bm A
I've come here to insist
G D
That I leave here with a kiss
D A D
I've come to say exactly what I mean
D A D
and I mean so many things.
[CHORUS]
G D
And you've come to know me stubborn as a butcher
G D
and you've come to know me thankless as a guest
Bm A
will you recognize my face?
G D
when gods awful grace
D A D
strips me of my jacket and my vest
D A D
and reveals all the treasure in my chest
End on D
