Intro:
 G...D....C... Dplay 2x
GThat ain't a parachute
DThat ain't a rip cord
CThat ain't a body of waDter
We're headed for
GThere's so liDttle time left
So muCch to be done
DEven you are gonna neeGd someone
That ain't a trick of light
Or the morning haze
Coming in from the lake
Getting into your eyes
It's the invisible breath
Of a storm on the rise
That I feel whenever you arrive
	 C      C/B      C/D          DNow I may not be quick
	                Maybe never was
	 C      C/B      C/D         DBut tell me what the hell it is
	                That you've Gbecome
(chorus)
GBaby if you nDever got sick
I wouldn't get tCo hold       youD  
GBaby if you never got sicDk
I would never get to Chold    yDou
GThis ain't a righteous love
Even a good one
These ain't the kinds of returns
I was thinking of
I'm unbearable now
You ain't seen nothing yet
You'll see me dead
Before you see me quit
That ain't a jug of wine
That you've been drinking from
Now lay back now baby
Let your fever come
I will you bury you in
Just to dig you out
I haven't a use
For being proud
	The deeper the slide
	The higher the rise
	But don't be disapointed
	How I usin' mine
(repeat chorus)
C/D(2)                D5  
I think I made a mistake
C/D(2)                        D5  
I pushed when you said to wait
But I never get to hold youG  
I follow you deep into a barren field
There was someone you were running from
When I need to sleep
That's when you disappeared
But I did get the impossible done
	Now I always knkew
	There was God inside you
	I just never did learn which one
(repeat chorus)
