[Verse 1]
ThDmumbs out on a desCert road I am toFld

If your shaFdow doesn't Amgo there

I'd fAmind some solace from the lGetter in your room?
NeEmxt life, could you kiFndly refain
From thAmrowing yourself at the meGrcy of a train?
[Chorus 1]
SiAmlence all, Dmnobody breGathe
How in the woCrld could you just lFeave?
You promised you wouA#ld

[Verse 1]

Dm C F

Thumbs out on a desert road I am told

Leads to nowhere

Dm C

Any shade is as good as the next

F Am

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 refain

Am G

From throwing yourself at the mercy of a train?

[Chorus 1]

Am Dm G

Silence all, nobody breathe

C F

How in the world could you just leave?

You promised you would

Silence that evil with good

Am Dm G

Hear me out, I have the floor

C F

I'll give you my tears, I'll listen more

You promised you would

F Dm C F Am Dm C F Am Dm

Overcome evil with good

[Verse 2]

Dm C F

Maybe this world is a barren place for a soul

Prone to get lost

Dm C

But heaven still hounds from the smallest sounds

F Am

To the cries of the storm-tossed

Em F

Week nine: I am writing in the sand

Am G

Any little clue that could help me understand

Em F

Every whispered secret, every muffled sigh

Am G

Every half-truth that was added to a lie

[Chorus 2]

Am Dm G

Silence all, nobody move

C F

I've got to know now what you hoped to prove

You promised you would

Silence that evil with good

Am Dm G

Shame feeds guilt, guilt needs release

You took it to God

You made your peace

And swore that you would

Overcome evil with good

Am F C F G Dm C Em Dm G

[Verse 3]

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

Forgive her, please Father

She don't know what she did

[Chorus 3]

Am Dm G

Silence all, now go to sleep

C F

The water's free, the well is deep

How can we return

That which we never could earn?

Am Dm G

God, I long to see her face

We haven't a hope

Beyond Your grace

I know that You will

Overcome evil

For good
