1Verse 1:
   G3
2If this is redemption, why do I bother at all?
        Em4                  C5                  G6
3There's nothing to mention,    and nothing has changed
C7                     D8                     Em9
4   Still I'd rather be working at something,    than praying for the rain
     C10               D11               G12
5So I wander on, till someone else is saved

7Verse 2 - same chords as Verse 1 -:
8I moved to the coast, under a mountain
9Swam in the ocean, slept on my own
10At dawn i would watch the sun, cut ribbons through the bay
11I'd remember all, the things my mother wrote
12
13Chorus:
              Em13             C14               G15
14That we don't eat until your father's at the table
             Em16              C17                 G18
15And we don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
          Em19           C20                 G21  D22    Em23
16And never once has any man I've met been    able to love
   C24                  D25               G26         Gsus427 G28
17So if I were you, I'd   have a little trust
18
19Verse 3:
20Two thousand years, I've been in that water
21Two thousand years, sunk like a stone
22Desperately reaching for nets that the fishermen have thrown
23Trying to find a little bit of hope
24
25Verse 4:
26Me, I was holding, all of my secrets soft and hid
27Pages were folded; then there was nothing at all
28So if in the future I might, need myself a savior
29I'll remember what was written on that wall
30
31Chorus:
              Em29             C30               G31
32That we don't eat until your father's at the table
             Em32              C33                 G34
33And we don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
          Em35           C36                 G37  D38    Em39
34And never once has any man I've met been    able to love
   C40                  D41               G42         Gsus443 G44
35So if I were you, I'd   have a little trust
36
37Bridge:
Dm45                         Em46
    Am47 I an honest man and true?
                           Dm48
38Have I been good to you at all?
                                 Am49
39Oh I'm so tired of playing these games
40
41We'd just be running down
    G50
42The same old lines, the same old stories of
F51
43   Breathless trains and, worn down glories
Am52
44   Houses burning, worlds that turn
G53
45   On their own
46
47Chorus:
              Em54             C55               G56
48That we don't eat until your father's at the table
             Em57              C58                 G59
49And we don't drink until the devil's turned to dust
          Em60           C61                 G62  D63    Em64
50And never once has any man I've met been    able to love
      C65
51So if I were you my friend
D66                                      G67
52   Learn to have just a little bit of trust.
