Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Am][G][Am][Bb][Am][Dsus4]
[Asus4]

[Verse 1]
[Am]One two three four five [Dm]six seven
The [Am]word came down
[G]to him from heaven
[Am]And naked as a[Bb]n animal he[Am] knew[G]
[Am]Everything of fles[Dm]h and bone
[Am]He could call it[G] all his own
[Am]He could name it
He could [Bb]lay claim to [Am]it too[G]
[Am]After all the word was spoken
You [Dm]sen t him out into t[D]he open[Am]
[Bb]All alone to make his [C]broken promise
Whole [G]again
[Am]Eight nine ten eleven twel[Dm]ve
[Am]Did you see how [G]far he fell
And [Am]did you watch him
[Bb]Covering his [Dm]body in his [G]shame
Wanting you [C]near him
Though you couldn't [Em]hear him
He was fall[F]ing down
[G]With your name in his [Am]mouth

[Verse 2]
[Dsus4]A thousan[G]d[Am][G][Am]
thousand [Dm]years pass through me
[Am]Stoned on loneli[G]ness and movies
[Am]Where people make [Bb]their love
in foreign [Am]tongues[Dsus4][G]
[Am]Every family locks[Dm] their door
[Am]Every man in uniform[G]
Re[Am]minds me of [Bb]the body
of my [Am]own one[G]
[Am]I knew you before I met you
[Dm]I've forgotten why [D]I l[Dm]eft you
[Bb]All I wanna do is get back in
[Gm]to your good grace[G]
[Am]Call you by your hundred [Dm]names
[Am]Till it makes [G]you mine again
[Am]Un til I get m[Bb]y will back in this
[Dm]god- forsaken [G]place
I want you [C]near me
I know you can't [Em]hear me now
But I'm fall[F]ing down with your [G]name
I want you [C]near me
I wish you could [Em]hear me now
While I'm fall[F]ing down
[G]With your name in [Am]my mouth
[G][Am]
