[Verse 1]
Dm I saw the desert wind G Tear across the wilderness Dm G I felt it blowing off the page D My teacher told me, "son G Always remember this" Dm G Dm G And I have always been afraid Dm I read about the god of Moses G Roaring in the holy cloud Dm G It shook my bedroom window panes D I did not understand then G I do not understand now Dm G I don't expect you to explain
[Chorus]
F A# F A# You've been a mystery since the moment that I met you F A# F A# You never move but I can never seem to catch you D G D The cornerstone
[Verse 2]
Dm You said to eat your flesh G Before you broke the bread and blessed it Dm G Before you poured the wine for every man D This is a hard, hard teaching G Can any man accept it? Dm G Can any sage here understand? Dm You turned the tables over G There in your father's temple Dm G You cracked a whip and raised a shout D My daughter asked me why G I said, "love is never simple Dm G It draws 'em in and drives 'em out."
[Chorus]
F A# F A# I saw you there but it was too late to change my course F A# F A# And I collided with a beautiful immovable force D G D G The Cornerstone D G And so the stone that I rejected D G It has become the cornerstone D G And so the stone that I rejected D G It has become the cornerstone
D G D G
[Bridge]
D All the maps were drawn D But the maps were wrong G The stars spin around G Another sun D All the maps were drawn D But the maps were wrong G The rivers are running from G D The cornerstone
[Chorus]
F A# F A# You looked me in the eye and fixed me with a permanent stare F A# F A# I met your gaze and saw the forges of the firmament there D The cornerstone
[Outro]
Dm G And the floods come up Dm G And the rains come down Dm And the floods come up G And the rains come down Dm And the floods come up G And the rains come down
