The Dead Sea Scrolls Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]A small hole in a fishbowl,
see the levels start to drain
And the fish fights for its dear life,
but its efforts are in vain
And the small child who finds him
will [C]lie awake for [G]days
And in time she'll need less frighten
when facing it again
Well I guess if I [Asus4]could
[Am]simpli[C]fy I'd [G]say
Every [Asus4]wrong alw[G]ays makes [C]a right[G]
A small flaw at the Earth's core
The planet starts to shake
and it splits wide and it's backfired
Look what they're firing
A volcano falls over into
a mountain range
Stand high and breathe and smile
Running through obvious mistake
Baby, I should stop [Asus4]talk
[G]ing [Am]inside[C][G]
And we're [Asus4]all so ne[G]w,
[C]broken to [G]smithereens[C][G]
[Asus4][G][C][G]
A loophole in the Dead Sea Scrolls
meant a message went unheard,
and it ignited a fistfight
between the shepherds and the herds,
and they mopped up all
their spilled blood
when the Saviour returned,
and he forgave and accepted blame
for his carelessness of words.
So [Bm]why won't you open
[Am]your hands[C],
my [G]dear?
When you [Asus4]give what
you [C]can't take back
[G]A small light on this long d[C]ark night
[G]Is worth blotting out[C] the sun you
