G
Well now on a summer night in a dusky room
D
Come a little piece of the Lord's undying light
A G
Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon
D G
Yeah, in his mother's arms it was all the beauty I could take
D A
Like the missing words to some prayer that I could never make
G D
Oh, in a world so hard and dirty so fouled and confused
G A
Searching for a little bit of God's mercy
G | G | D | D | G | G | D
I found living proof
G
I put my heart and soul I put 'em high upon a shelf
D A G
Right next to the faith the faith I'd lost in myself
D
I went down into the desert city
G
Just tryin' so hard to shed my skin
D
I crawled deep into some kind of darkness
A
Lookin' to burn out every, every trace of who I'd been
G
You do some sad sad things baby
D
When it's you you're tryin' to lose
G A
You do some sad and hurtful things
G | G | D | D | G | G | D
I've seen living proof
A
You shot through my anger and rage
Em A
To show me my prison was just an open cage
There were no keys no guards
G A D
Just one frightened man and some old shadows for bars
(Guitar solo) | D | G | G | D | D | G | G
D
Well now all that's sure on the boulevard
G
Is that life is just a house of cards
D
As fragile as each and every breath
A
Of this boy sleepin' in our bed
D
Tonight let's lie beneath the eaves
G
Just a close band of happy thieves
D
And when that train comes we'll get on board
A
And steal what we can from the treasures, treasures of the Lord
G
It's been a long long drought baby
D
Tonight the rain's pourin' down on our roof, Lord
G A
Looking for a little bit of God's mercy
G
I found living proof
D
Oh, living proof
G
I found living proof
D
Yeah, living proof
G
I found living proof
D
Oh, found living proof
G
I found living proof
D
Oh, found living proof
G
Yeah, I found living proof
D
I found living proof
G
I found living proof
D | D | G | G | (fade out)
Oh, now
