Newsboys – Elle G chords

[Verse 1]
  Dm               C               FThumbs out on a desert road I am told
          AmLeads to nowhere
 Dm               CAny shade is as good as the next
           F           AmIf your shadow doesn't go there
 Em                 FWeek seven: Did you really assume
     Am                        GI'd find some solace from the letter in your room?
  Em                   FNext life, could you kindly refain
       Am                       GFrom throwing yourself at the mercy of a train?

[Chorus 1]
  Am         Dm        GSilence all, nobody breathe
             C                   FHow in the world could you just leave?

[Verse 2]
 Dm                     C                 FMaybe this world is a barren place for a soul
              AmProne to get lost
 Dm                               CBut heaven still hounds from the smallest sounds
         F           AmTo the cries of the storm-tossed
  Em               FWeek nine: I am writing in the sand
 Am                         GAny little clue that could help me understand
  Em                     FEvery whispered secret, every muffled sigh
  Am                       GEvery half-truth that was added to a lie

[Chorus 2]
 Am         Dm       GSilence all, nobody move
                   C                    FI've got to know now what you hoped to prove
                  A#You promised you would
    FSilence that evil with good
  Am             Dm              GShame feeds guilt, guilt needs release
                 CYou took it to God
                FYou made your peace
                     A#And swore that you would
                    FOvercome evil with good

[Verse 3]
  Em               FEvery old demon playing back the crime
  Am                            GIf they needed blood, I'd have gladly given mine
  Em                    FA Child of the Kingdom; still an invalid
   AmForgive her, please Father
      GShe don't know what she did

[Chorus 3]
 Am         Dm           GSilence all, now go to sleep
              C                 FThe water's free, the well is deep
             A#How can we return
                            FThat which we never could earn?
Am     Dm                GGod, I long to see her face
              CWe haven't a hope
              FBeyond Your grace
                 A#I know that You will
              FOvercome evil
       DmFor good
