verse 1
D D Bm
I could have painted your lines
A Em Bm G D
I could have dined on your open mind
D D Bm
I pulled the chaff from the wheat
A Em Bm A A
Got along when you're less discreet
Chorus
Em Bm D A
But I was still a silhouette, hey-y-y-y
Em Bm D A
And baby Moses on the steps, hey-y-y-y
G D A Bm F#
I was praying for the word that you'd let me stay
verse 2
D D Bm
If you fall from the sun
A Em Bm G D
Count your blessings and call me at once
D D Bm
If you spit in my eyes
A Em Bm G D
And you'd left me but one surprise
verse 3
D D Bm
I could have filled up a house
A Em Bm D A
With the notes of an unlocked mouth, or notes of my mouth
D D Bm
I could have taken a wife
A Em Bm A A
I could have heard you had lost the fight, anyway
Chorus
Em Bm D A
But I was still a silhouette, hey-y-y-y
Em Bm D A
And baby Moses on the steps, hey-y-y-y
G D A Bm F#
I was praying for the word that you'd let me stay

I'm at most of the bad timing
C C G D
I have cut off my hand and tried to dig in
C C G D Em C A
I'm at most of the bad timing, ohhhhh, oh
verse 3
D D Bm
Sew your tears to my feet
A Em Bm D A
Shake em hard when they fall asleep
D D Bm
Tie a rope to my shoes
A Em Bm A A
Tell me that is what you had to do
Em D A G G A D
It's what you had to do, anyway
