Caedmons Call – Shifting Sand chords

This version is simplified for beginners.

G   C          D            DsusSometimes I believe all the lies
         G             C           D   DsusSo I can do the things I should despise
G   C     D        DsusAnd every day I am swayed 
       G       C     D   D2By whatever is on my mind 

G C             D           DsusI hear it all depends on my faith 
       G          C   D  DsusSo I'm feeling precarious 
G        C         D               DsusThe only problem I have with these mysteries
   G            C    D  Dsus Is they're so mysterious 

Em    D                         G  And like a consumer I've been thinking 
                C              EmIf I could just get a bit more 
             D                  GMore than my fifteen minutes of faith, 
         C2Then I'd be secure 

  [CHORUS]
G             CMy faith is like shifting sand 
Em         D     C2Changed by every wave
G             C My faith is like shifting sand
     Em    D  C2 So I stand on grace 

[TRANSITION]
C2              G C D, G C D(Stand on grace)

  [VERSE 2]
G    C          D        DsusI've begged you for some proof 
       G      C       D   DsusFor my Thomas eyes to see 
G            C          D     DsusA slithering staff, a leprous hand 
    G           C      D  D2And lions resting lazily 

Em                D              A glimpse of your back-side glory 
         G            C           EmAnd this soaked altar going ablaze 
        D                  GBut you know I've seen so much
      C2 I explained it away 

((Chorus) 

  [BRIDGE]
DWaters rose as my doubts rained 
CMy sand-castle faith, it slipped away 
Em                             DFound myself standing on your grace 
                Dsus    DIt'd been there all the time 

(((Chorus)
((Transition)
