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

Leads to nowhere

Any shade is as good as the next
F Am
If your shadow doesn't go there

Week seven: Did you really assume
Am G
I'd find some solace from the letter in your room?

Next life, could you kindly refain
Am G
From throwing yourself at the mercy of a train?

verse 2
Dm C F
Maybe this world is a barren place for a soul
Am
Prone to get lost

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

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

verse 3
Em F
Every old demon playing back the crime
Am G
If they needed blood, I'd have gladly given mine

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

How can we return

That which we never could earn?

God, I long to see her face

We haven't a hope

Beyond Your grace

I know that You will

For good
