Patty Griffin – Forgivness (Guitar)

       Am7               G             F             C      Am7  G  F  C
We are swimming with the snakes at the bottom of the well

   Am7           G            F                 C     Am7  G  F  C
So silent and peaceful in the darkness where we fell

           Am7            G              F           C   Am7  G  F  C
But we are not snakes and what?s more we never will be

           Am7               G               F          C  Am7  G  F  C
And if we stay swimming here forever we will never be free

                        G                   C
I heard ?em ringin? the bells in heaven and hell

             G                            Am
They got a secret they?re gettin ready to tell

                          F                   C    F
Its fallin? from the skies, callin? from the graves

Am7        G         F            C
Open your eyes boy I think we are saved

Am7        G         F            C
Open your eyes boy I think we are saved

                                F                       C
Let?s take a walk on the bridge  right over this mess

                         G                          Am
Don?t need to tell me a thing baby, we?re already confessed

                            Dm                 C    F
And I raise my voice to the air, and we were blessed

F            C     F            C
It's hard to give, It's hard to get

         F           C           G  C    Am7  G  F  C    C    Am7  G  F  C
But everybody needs a little forgiveness

        Am7               G          F            C   Am7  G  F  C
We are calling for help tonight on a thin phone line

   Am7          G                    F          C     Am7  G  F  C
As ususal we?re havin? ourselves one helluva time

        Am7                     G
And the planes keep flyin? right over our heads

         F              C     Am7   G    F     C
No matter how loud we shout, Hey...Hey...Hey...

            Am7                               G
And we keep wavin? and wavin? our arms in the air

                 F    C   Am7  G  F  C
But we?re all tired out

                 G                 C
I heard somebody say,  Today?s the day

           G                            Am
A big old hurricane...she?s blowin? our way

                  F                          C      F
Knockin? over the buildings, Killin? all the lights

Am7        G             F                 C
Open your eyes boy, we made it through the night

Am7        G             F                 C
Open your eyes boy, we made it through the night

                         F                       C
Let?s take a walk on the bridge  right over this mess

F           C          F                           C
Its hard to live baby, still I think it's the best bet

        F         C            G              Am
Hey now, hard to give, and I?m never gonna forget

          F           C           G
But everybody needs a little forgiveness
