[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F][Am][C][F]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
After the [C]scrip[F]ture
We started to [Am]pray
Holdin' [C]our hands [F]up
Waitin' [Am]for change
I hardly [C]knew [F]you
You knew [Am]me the same
So we built [C]a shelter
While [F]we turned [Am]the weak away
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[F]
[Am][C][F]
[Am]
Your mother be[C]side

[Verse 2]
[F]me
Rattlin' [Am]her brain
Makin' an offer[C]ing[F]
Pacing [Am]the pain
We took a [C]picture[F]
Placed [Am]it in frame
We [C]built a fire
[F]And we turned the [Am]cold away
[C]And I know

[Verse 3]
[F]it'[C]s not
[Dm]What you desire
[Am]This pain [F]can't crum[C]ble
Won't [Dm]soon retire
[Am][C][F][Am][C][F]

[Verse 4]
[Am]
[G]Everybody there
was try[F]ing to hide some great [C]desire
Put away the pos[G]itives [F]and let that
good girl [C]die[G]
Everybody's prayers were
turned in[F]to a gradual [C]sigh
So I [F]paced around the backyard
[C]for [G]awhile[Am]

[Verse 5]
That was [C]bee [F]sting
A speck in my [Am]eye
A casual [C]movement[F]
A thief in [Am]the night
Now [C]I can't forget [F]you
[Am]Sword in my side
Candle [C]that burned [F]me
Deliver me [C]light
An[F]d I know it's not

[Verse 6]
[C]
[Dm]What you desire
[Am]This[F] pain can'[C]t crumble
[Dm]Won't soon retire
