Em          G       C               Em 
After the scripture, We started to pray 
              G      C             Em 
Holdin' our hands up, Waitin' for change 
          G       C                Em 
I hardly knew you, You knew me the same 
               G                  C              Em 
So we built a shelter, While we turned the weak away 


Em, G, C, Em x2 


Em             G      C               Em 
Your mother beside me, Rattlin' her brain 
              G    C            Em 
Makin' an offering, Pacing the pain 
            G     C              Em 
We took a picture, Placed it in frame 
            G            C               Em 
We built a fire, And we turned the cold away 


       C         G        D      Em 
And I know it's not what you desire 
      C           G            D       Em 
This pain can't crumble, Won't soon retire 


Em, G, C, Em x2 



D/F#      D                   C                 G 
Everybody there was trying to hide some great desire 
D/F#         D              C                  G 
Put away the positives and let that good girl die 
D/F#        D                     C             G 
Everybody's prayers were turned into a gradual sigh 
      C                  G           D 
So I paced around the backyard for a while 


Em           G       C               Em 
That was a bee sting, A speck in my eye 
           G      C                 Em 
A casual movement, A thief in the night 
               G       C             Em 
Now I can't forget you, Sword in my side 
             G        C             Em 
Candle that burned me, Deliver me light 


        C        G        D      Em 
And I know it's not what you desire 
       C          G            D       Em 
This pain can't crumble, Won't soon retire 


Em, G, C, Em x2
