Chords

[Verse 1]
  Dm               C               F
Thumbs out on a desert road I am told

          Am
Leads to nowhere

 Dm               C
Any shade is as good as the next

           F           Am
If your shadow doesn't go there

 Em                 F
Week seven: Did you really assume

     Am                        G
I'd find some solace from the letter in your room?

  Em                   F
Next life, could you kindly refain

       Am                       G
From throwing yourself at the mercy of a train?
[Chorus 1]
  Am         Dm        G
Silence all, nobody breathe

             C                   F
How in the world could you just leave?

                    A#
You promised you would

                        F
Silence that evil with good

 Am         Dm            G
Hear me out, I have the floor

                   C                  F
I'll give you my tears, I'll listen more

                   A#
You promised you would

 F                      Dm  C  F Am Dm C F Am Dm
Overcome evil with good
[Verse 2]
 Dm                     C                 F
Maybe this world is a barren place for a soul

              Am
Prone to get lost

 Dm                               C
But heaven still hounds from the smallest sounds

         F           Am
To the cries of the storm-tossed

  Em               F
Week nine: I am writing in the sand

 Am                         G
Any little clue that could help me understand

  Em                     F
Every whispered secret, every muffled sigh

  Am                       G
Every half-truth that was added to a lie
[Chorus 2]
 Am         Dm       G
Silence all, nobody move

                   C                    F
I've got to know now what you hoped to prove

                  A#
You promised you would

    F
Silence that evil with good

  Am             Dm              G
Shame feeds guilt, guilt needs release

                 C
You took it to God

                F
You made your peace

                     A#
And swore that you would

                    F
Overcome evil with good
Am F C F G Dm C Em Dm G [Verse 3]
  Em               F
Every old demon playing back the crime

  Am                            G
If they needed blood, I'd have gladly given mine

  Em                    F
A Child of the Kingdom; still an invalid

   Am
Forgive her, please Father

      G
She don't know what she did
[Chorus 3]
 Am         Dm           G
Silence all, now go to sleep

              C                 F
The water's free, the well is deep

             A#
How can we return

                            F
That which we never could earn?

Am     Dm                G
God, I long to see her face

              C
We haven't a hope

              F
Beyond Your grace

                 A#
I know that You will

              F
Overcome evil

       Dm
For good
