We Don't Eat Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]If[C][Em][C][Em][C][G]
this is redemption,
why [Csus2]do I bother[G] at all
There's [Em]nothing to mention,
[C]and nothing[G] has cha[C]nged
Still I'd rather be [D]working [Dsus4]at someth[D]ing,
[Em]than praying for the rain[C]
So I wander [D]on, till someone else is [G]saved

[Verse 2]
I [G]moved to the coast,
un[Csus2]der a mount[G]ain
[Em]Swam in the [C]ocean, slept on [G]my [C]own
At dawn [D]I would watch t[Em]he sun cut
ribbons through the [C]bay
I'd remember [D]all [Dsus4]the things
[G]my mother wrote

[Verse 3]
That we [Em]don't eat until your
[C]father's [G]at the table
We [Em]don't drink until the [C]dev
il's turned [G]to dust
Never [Em]once has any [C]man I've
[Csus2]met been [C]able [G]to [D]love[Em]
So [C]if I were you,
[D]I'd have a little [G]trust
[C][G][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]Two thousand years,
I've been [C]in [G]that water
[C]Two[Em] thousand years,
[C]sunk like a s[G]ton[C]e
Desper[Csus2]ately rea[D]ching for nets
That [Em]the fishermen h[C]ave thrown
Trying to find, [D]a little bit of hope
[G][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]Me I was holding,
all of my secrets soft and hid
[Em]Pages were folded,
[C]then there was nothing at all[G][C]
So if in the [D]future I might
[Em]need myself a savior
I'll [C]remember what was
[D]written on tha[G]t wall

[Verse 6]
That we [Em]don't eat until your
[C]father's at the [G]table
We [Em]don't drink until the
[C]devil's turned to [G]dust
Nev[Em]er once has any m[C]an I've
met [G]been [D]able [Em]to love
So [C]if I were you,
[D]I'd have a little [G]trust

[Verse 7]
[Dm]
Am I [D]an honest man and [Em]true
Have I been good to you at [Dm]all
Oh I'm so tired of [D]playing [Am]these games
We'd just be running down
The [G]same old lines, the same old stories of
[F]Breathless tra[Dm]ins and,
worn down [F]glor[G]ies
[Am]Houses burning,
worlds that [G]turn on their own

[Verse 8]
[G]
So we [Em]don't eat until your
[C]father's at [Am]the table[G]
We [Em]don't drink until the [C]dev
il's turned [G]to dust
[D]Nev[Em]er once has any m[C]an I've
met [G]been [D]able [Em]to love
So if [C]I were you my friend,
[D]I'd learn to have just a little bit of tru[G]st

[Outro 1]
[G]
