Weary Saints Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]For years we fought the night
With pale and ghostly
[D]flames[Dsus4][D][G]
Some still dream of light
So the sun will rise [D]again
[Dsus4][D]

[Verse 2]
We'll cure our need [C]for wrongs
[G]In cool [C]and measured
[G]crime[Gsus4][G]
We'll learn to drift [D]in [Dsus4]palm[D]
From our hearts and from our [Em]minds

[Verse 3]
[Em]Let us not be [C]faithless[Cm]
You will meet our [G]needs[Em]
A good and gracious [C]wordless
[Cm]Will lamp unto our [G]feet

[Verse 4]
For [G]years we've closed our eyes
While rust on reason [D]grows[G]
Feed and clothe our lies
In our hearts [D]we know,
[Dsus4]yeah, we kno[D]w

[Verse 5]
[D]Wisdom lends [C]us [G]all
[C]Cool and ste[G]ady hand
Steel pressed to [D]my [Dsus4]palm[D]
Doesn't make me more a man
[Em]

[Verse 6]
So courage [G]for [C]the [Cm]givers
Do what must be [G]done[Em]
To deal out truth and [C]justice[Cm][Eb][Cm]
[Eb]With swift[Cm] and sober[C] guns[G]

[Verse 7]
[G]
For years you met our thirst
Still deserts we [D]have
[Dsus4]roamed[D][G]
We'll be done with dust and dirt
When the ocean calls us home
[D]

[Verse 8]
And fall into [C]the arms
Of a cool and sweet [G]embrace[Gsus4][G]
And under stars and waving [D]palms
Shed our sin like snakes
[Em]

[Verse 9]
But time will cease [C]to stalk [Cm]us
Death will be [G]undone[Em]
We'll shine with the [C]light of
[Cm]A th[G]ousand blazing suns

[Verse 10]
[G]
Time will cease [C]to stalk [Cm]us
[G]Death [Cm]will be [G]undone[Em]
We'll shine with [C]the light [Cm]of[Eb]
A thousand blazing [G]suns
