'Cause I am so confused
I don't even ask for what I should
[D] [Bm] [G] [A]
When I asked for and deserved a stone
[D] [Bm] [G] [A]
You broke and gave your body as bread

Till all I have's not that bad
Verse 2:(use the intro/verse riff)
[D] [Bm] [G] [A]
When I asked for and deserved a serpent
[D] [Bm] [G] [A]

And even the serpent that told the lie
(Riff 2) [D] [Bm] [G]
When lifted high foretold the gift
Chorus

VERSE 1:
D/ C#/ B/ A G D/F# Em7 A7sus
Danny and I spent another late night over pancakes
Bm/ F# E7/ BGh
We talked about soccer and how every man's just the same
D/ C#/ B/ A G D/F# Em7 A7sus
And made speculation on the 'who's and the 'when's of our futures
Bm/ F# E7 A7 D
And how everyone's lonely but still we just couldn't complain
CHORUS 1:
G/ F# Em7 D Asus A
And how we just hate being alone
G/ F# Em7 D Asus A
Could I have left my only chance
G/ F# Em7 D Asus A
And now I'm just wasting my time
Gh
Looking around
VERSE 2:
But you know I know better I'm not gonna worry 'bout nothing
'Cause if the birds and the flowers survive then I'll make it okay
If given a chance and a rock see which one breaks a window
And see which one keeps me up all night and into the day
CHORUS 2:
Because I'm so scared of being alone
That I forgot what house I live in
But it's not my job to wait by the phone
For her to call
VERSE 3:
Well this day's been crazy but everything's happened on schedule
From the rain and the cold to the drink that I spilled on my shirt
'Cause You knew how You'd save me before I fell dead in the garden
And You knew this day long before You made me out of dirt
CHORUS 3:
And You know the plan You have for me
And You can't plan the ends and not plan the means
And so I suppose I just need some peace
To get me to sleep
enjoy
