John Mark McMillan – The Road The Rocks And The Weeds (Guitar)

      E
Come down from the stars, show your human scars

 C#m/E                       E
Tell me what it's like to believe

            A/E
Through my Christ haunted thoughts that the losses you bought

         C#m                              B/D#
Are the nights that you peopled with your dreams

      A/E
Well, I've got no answers for heartbreaks or cancers

       C#m                         E   B/D#
But a Savior who suffers them with me

        C#m        B           A           E
Singing goodbye, Olympus, the heart of my Maker

      A/F#               B                       E
Is spread out on the road, the rocks, and the weeds

      E
Come down from your mountain, your high-rise apartment

     C#m                             E
And tell me of the God you know who bleeds

      F#m
And what to tell my daughter when she asks so many questions

       C#m                             B
And I fail to fill her heaviness with peace

      A
When I've got no answers for hurt knees or cancers

      C#m                          E   B/D#
But a Savior who suffers them with me

         C#m       B           A           E
Singing goodbye, Olympus, the heart of my Maker

        A/F#             B                       E
Is spread out on the road, the rocks, and the weeds

    F#m                            B
And Aphrodite would not weep, nor Zeus would suffer for the weak

    E                                 A
But have you come to stand inside my pain?

    F#m                                   B
And all the things I've begged you for, eternity and evermore

     E              B/D#             C#m
Are hidden with me here beneath the rain

      B
The rain

   E
So shall I plant sequoias and revel in the soil

     B      C#m          B            A             E
Then sow my body to my Maker, and my heart unto my savior

      A                  B                     E
And spread me on the road, the rocks, and the weeds

   A              B
Spread me on the road
