Dm C F
Thumbs out on a desert road, I am told
Am7
leads to nowhere
Dm C
Any shade is as good as the next
F Am7
if your shadow doesn't go there
Em F
Week seven: did you really assume
Am G
I'd find some solace from the letter in your room?
Em F
Next life, could you kindly refrain
Am G
from throwing yourself at the mercy of a train?
Am F G
Silence all, nobody breathe
C F
how in the world could you just leave
Bb
You promised you would
Fsus4 F
silence that evil with good
Am F G
Hear me out, I have the floor
C F
I'll give you my tears, I'll listen more
Bb
You promised you would
Fsus4 F
overcome evil with good
Dm C
Maybe this world is a barren place
F Am7
for a soul prone to get lost
Dm C
But heaven still hounds from the smallest sounds
F Am7
to the cries of the storm-tossed
Em F
Week nine: I am writing in the sand
Am G
any small clue that can help me understand
Em F
Every whispered secret, every muffled sigh
Am G
every half-truth that was added to a lie
Am F G
Silence all, nobody move
C F
I've got to know now what you hoped to prove
Bb
You promised you would
Fsus4 F
silence that evil with good
Am F G
Shame feeds guilt, guilt needs release
C F
you took it to God, you made your peace
Bb
and swore that you would
Fsus4 F
overcome evil with good
Em F
Every old demon playing back the crime
Am G
if they needed blood, I'd have gladly given mine
Em F
A child of the Kingdom, still an invalid
Am G
forgive her, please, Father, she don't know what she did
Am F G
Silence all, now go to sleep
C F
the water is free, the well is deep
Bb
How can we return
Fsus4 F
that which we never could earn?
Am F G
God, I long to see her face
C F
we haven't a hope beyond Your grace
Bb
I know that You will
Fsus4 F
overcome evil
Dm
for good
