Intro:

G ...D....C...D play 2x




G
That ain't a parachute
D
That ain't a rip cord
C  	                   D
That ain't a body of water

We're headed for
G		          D
There's so little time left
	    C
So much to be done
D                    	G
Even you are gonna need someone

That ain't a trick of light
Or the morning haze
Coming in from the lake
Getting into your eyes
It's the invisible breath
Of a storm on the rise
That I feel whenever you arrive

C C/b C/d D
	                 Now I may not be quick
	                Maybe never was
C C/b C/d D
	                But tell me what the hell it is
		                          G
	                That you've become

(chorus)
G            D
Baby if you never got sick
                C               D
I wouldn't get to hold       you
G                        D
Baby if you never got sick
                    C         D
I would never get to hold    you

G
This ain't a righteous love
Even a good one
These ain't the kinds of returns
I was thinking of
I'm unbearable now
You ain't seen nothing yet
You'll see me dead
Before you see me quit
That ain't a jug of wine
That you've been drinking from
Now lay back now baby
Let your fever come

I will you bury you in
Just to dig you out
I haven't a use
For being proud

	The deeper the slide
	The higher the rise
	But don't be disapointed
	How I usin' mine

(repeat chorus)

C/d(2)                D5
I think I made a mistake
C/d(2)                        D5
I pushed when you said to wait
                           G
But I never get to hold you


I follow you deep into a barren field
There was someone you were running from
When I need to sleep
That's when you disappeared
But I did get the impossible done

	Now I always knkew
	There was God inside you
	I just never did learn which one

(repeat chorus)
