Misc Originals – Alexis - Tears In The Sand (Guitar)

Bm
“Stained”

F#msus4            F#m            Bm
  That’s what they all seem to say

F#msus4      F#m               G
  “Come one and all take your aim

           Bm
Instead of hearing you

   Em            Asus4  A
We hurl our disdain

Bm
Wait

F#msus4       F#m           Bm
  Please listen I can explain

F#msus4       F#m         G
  I’m just on rocky terrain

           Bm
and if you help me to

   Em             Asus4    A
I think I can change

Bm                     F#m          G
Grace is a luxury that you can’t afford

Bm
You’ve burned all your bridges and you’ve

F#m               G
slammed all your doors

Em          F#m
No one will hear

Gsus2        A
No one will stand

Bm             A             Bm           A
Your cries for help are just tears in the sand

       G7           F#
You belong with the damned

Bm
  I’m afraid

F#msus4      F#m             Bm
  What if I’m caught in these chains

F#msus4     F#m               G
   What if I am what they say

                G
Their words are powerful

    Em               Asus2  A
I’m never gonna change

Bm                     F#m        G
Grace is a luxury that I can’t afford

Bm
I’ve burned all my bridges and I’ve

F#m             G
slammed all my doors

Em          F#m
No one will hear

Gsus2       A
No one will stand

Bm           A             Bm           A
My cries for help are just tears in the sand

        G7          F#
I don’t think I can stand

Bm
  And so to the temple, bound, they dragged me down

A
  And my tears fell to the ground without a sound

G
  I had lost all hope of ever being found

Em                         F#
  Then they said, “Teacher, voice your thoughts aloud.”

Bm
  He bent down and started writing in the sand

A
  Then he said to them a simple reprimand,

G
  “Any without sin has the first stone to cast.”

Em                     F#
  Then one by one the people melted back

G                          F#
  And only One remained to stand

D            F#m
  The Man he straightened up

D                        F#m
  His eyes were kind and His voice sure,

G                    Bm
  “Where did your accusers go?

Em                   Asus4  A
They can’t blame you anymore.”

D             F#m
  “I give you grace, My child

D            F#m                 G
  For it has always been mine to give

               Bm
Now leave this sin behind

Em             Asus4  A
  Go forth and Live!

D                      F#m     G
Grace is an offering I already bore

D                   F#m      G
I Am the bridge and I Am the door

Em         F#m
No one is here

Gsus2       A
No one will stand

Bm           A              Bm           A
I heard your cries and your tears in the sand

G             Asus2
Come, take my hand.”
