Relient K – What Can I Do (Guitar)

Em7                   Dm                   C
Where could darkness as dark as this have come from?

Em7            Dm                      C
Too far to see but we know that we can sense that it exists.

Em7               Dm             C
And how can I do anything but run from

Em7                Dsus4              C
The will to fight a fight for which I feel so ill-equipped?

                 G
But what can I do?

     G               F#m                       Em7
I throw my hands up half in anguish half in praise

       G               F#m                    Em7
When I try to count my blessings, I just see sorrow in a cage.

G
But I'm afraid, 'cause what can I do?

Em7            Dm                 C
If this didn't horrify me, I'd be heartless

Em7             Dm             C
But every night I lay here paralyzed

Em7            Dm                     C
But I won't be consumed with all this darkness

Em7            Dsus4               C
Instead I find surprise within the light.

C        G
But what can I do?

   G                F#m                       Em7
I throw my hands up half in anguish half in praise

       G               F#m                    Em7
When I try to count my blessings, I just see sorrow in a cage.

G                 F#m              Em7
But I'm afraid, 'cause what can I do?

G          F#m                     Em7               G
Want to cast a light into this pit if I only had a way

F#m                      Em7                                                 Dsus4  C
To restore the hearts of vile men to the love from which they've strayed, but I'm afraid.

G               Em7
Let one man find hope again

Em                                  C
Maybe in his very own daughter's life

G
Have him seize another man's

Em7                      Em                                       C
Forearm, wrist, and hand before he takes the opportunity to strike

G                   Em7
Have those two grow close in brotherhood in you

Em                                   C
Give them all your strength and might,

G                                                                  C
Let them be a poison to the darkness as they bring it to the light

C
Darkness comes to light.
