[Verse 1]
You're Cbuilding a Dship with no Emsails
And Csetting out to Dbrave the open Emsea
You're Cstanding before your DGod
But beGcoming something Dso far off
CDon't you Dsee the iroEmny?
He Cgave me a Dtrain with no Emtracks
With no Cwood to build or Dburn for Emsteam
DesCpite all I Dlack
The Gfighter will now Dturn his back
CDon't you Dsee the iroEmny?
[Chorus 1]
If the Cblind can seDe You
And the Clame can meDet You
Would the Cdead embrDace You
If you never Cgave them the Dmeans to beEmlieve?
And Cthat makes no Dsense to Emme
[Verse 2]
He Cgave me a Dvoice that speaks Emout
But Cpaired it with a Dmind that's filled with Emdoubt
If CI'm to find the Dsun
I need Gsomething more that Dsongs that pour
CFrom this Dcave of questioEmning
CGive me Dsand to build a Emhome
And Cwatch all the Dwalls fall on Emme
I Ccan't change what I Dam
The Glions always Dkill the lambs
But Cdon't you Dsee the iroEmny?
CDon't you Dsee the iroEmny?
[Chorus 2]
If the Cblind can seDe You
And the Clame can meDet You
Would the Cdead embrDace You
If you never Cgave them the Dmeans to beEmlieve?
And Cthat makes no Dsense to Emme
Will CI  D  
EmbrEmace You?
Will You ever Cgive me the Dmeans to Embelieve?
Answer Cme Dplease

[Verse 1]

C D Em

You're building a ship with no sails

C D Em

And setting out to brave the open sea

C D

You're standing before your God

G D

But becoming something so far off

C D Em

Don't you see the irony?

C D Em

He gave me a train with no tracks

C D Em

With no wood to build or burn for steam

C D

Despite all I lack

G D

The fighter will now turn his back

C D Em

Don't you see the irony?

[Chorus 1]

C D

If the blind can see You

C D

And the lame can meet You

C D

Would the dead embrace You

C D Em

If you never gave them the means to believe?

C D Em

And that makes no sense to me

[Verse 2]

C D Em

He gave me a voice that speaks out

C D Em

But paired it with a mind that's filled with doubt

C D

If I'm to find the sun

G D

I need something more that songs that pour

C D Em

From this cave of questioning

C D Em

Give me sand to build a home

C D Em

And watch all the walls fall on me

C D

I can't change what I am

G D

The lions always kill the lambs

C D Em

But don't you see the irony?

C D Em

Don't you see the irony?

[Chorus 2]

C D

If the blind can see You

C D

And the lame can meet You

C D

Would the dead embrace You

C D Em

If you never gave them the means to believe?

C D Em

And that makes no sense to me

C D

Will I

Embrace You?

C D Em

Will You ever give me the means to believe?

C D

Answer me please
