INTRO-E, A9, E, A9, E, A9, E
C, D9sus4, E-repeat 4 times
C#mC
i am haunted by my love for comparison
GE
my fascination with a single common theme
C#mC
and i am hounded by the fear that i might be losing it
GE
slipping from reality into dream
GD
when my mind is muddled by the way it seems to work
EmC
i start looking for just one connecting Force
GD
someone to assure me we that didn't lose the war today
EmC
that the battle's General's still riding on his horse
C#mC
in the mornings when i pray, i've often come to You with dreams
GE
little bits of power that i can't comprehend
C#C
and sometimes i can keep my eyes unclosed for long enough
GE
to see the blowing of a distant steady Wind
GD
the distance doesn't take too long for You to cover it
EmC
and when You reach me, You just blow these things apart
GD
You clear the crowd that's gathered 'round the crisis of my soul
EmCB7
and whisper to my suffocating heart
EA9
And is the juice of the joints of the motion of life
EA9
And is the love that is between God and his beautiful wife
EA9
And has two hands and two feet and a long, lovely side
EA9
And rose three days after he was crucified
REPEAT INTRO
C#mC
so You're the Force of gravity that i feel pulling at my feet
GE
you're the Fuel at the center of the sun
C#mC
And, it's your Ghost that fills the atmosphere with what we need to breathe
GE
And, everything i've ever wondered, You're the one
G
both my hands are stained with blood
D
and both my lips are stained with tears
EmC
from when i kissed the widow of the man i killed
GD
And, yet You're asking me to swallow Your forgivness here today
EmCB7
You say the bond required for my pardon's been fulfilled
REPEAT THE CHORUS 2 TIMES AND THEN THE INTRO
