[Intro] D G D G D G D Dm [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
