Am7
All dark effects I'd long withstood,

               C
Upon my room advanced,

                           G
The moving shade of Birnam Wood,

                    Am7
Disguised by broken branch.
[Interlude] Am7 Am7 C C Gadd11 G Gadd11 G [Verse 2]
Am7
I struck firm the hollow of your thigh,

                      C                                G
Withheld my name, yet from determined hold I could not fly;

                           C
Though every tendon came undone.
[Chorus]
C                                 Em
Would you take a bound-up Isaac's place?

                              G
Are you a God, and shall your grace,

                   Am/C
Grow weary of your saints?",

                                Em
Or prefer the father's dreadful fate?,

                              G
Are you a God, and shall your grace,

                   Am/C
Grow weary of your saints?

              Em            G
(Though every tendon came undone),

                                 Am
(Safe in the arms of the kingdom come).
[Interlude] Am7 Am7 C C Gadd11 G Gadd11 G [Verse 3]
Am7
Floodwater filled your formless birth,

                  C
A column cloud descends,

                                                  G
'Your cause of sorrow must not be measured by his worth,

                    Am7
For then it hath no end',

Am7
Yet may my heart in tune be found,

Am7
In four-shape notes from underground,

    C
And can we not call it 'a nervous breakdown,'

G                          Am7
My nervous system breaking down?
[Interlude] Am7 G G G Am7 A7sus2* [Chorus]
Am/C                              Em
Would you take a bound-up Isaac's place?

                              G
Are you a God, and shall your grace,

                   Am/C
Grow weary of your saints?

                               Em
Steady is a knife held sure by faith,

                              G
Are you a God? And shall your grace,

                   Am/C
Grow weary of your saints?

Am/C
Riding in a westbound railcar,

Em
They'll dump you in the Highgate Graveyard,

G                                          Am/C
They'll dump you in the Highgate Graveyard,

               Em               G                    G*
