[Verse 1]
Em Am Bm
I walked into town with a message for my old man
G D Bm
I got the last two chapters of Matthew in my hand
Bm Bm
Steve painting houses while Bobby went and gone insane
G Em
They buried my sister but daddy he stayed the same
[Chorus]
Em G Bm D
Follow the sun out of the night, brother just lean in to the light
Em G Bm D
You want to be sure I'll give you sight, brother just lean in to the light
[Verse 2]
Bm A D Bm
His hands still shake when the ponies break out on the track
A D Bm
His feet still quick when they say they want their money back
Bm A D A Bm
But daddy did you think you could outrun the Holy Ghost?
Bm D Bm
Lie, cheat, steal hope they fix it all up in post
[Pre-Chorus]
D G
The book will be open in front of the judge
Em C
Unquenchable fire, or keys to the kingdom
[Chorus]
Em G Bm D
Follow the sun out of the night, brother just lean in to the light
Em G Bm D
You want to be sure I'll give you sight, brother just lean in to the light
Em G Bm F#m
The road to the kingdom's burning bright, brother just lean in to the light
G Bm
You heard that the master was traveling through
G Bm
But what would you do if he walked into the room
Em G
Make for the left or break for the right
F#m Bm A Bm
Brother just lean in, brother just lean it to the light
[Outro]
Em G Bm A
Follow the sun out of the night, brother just lean in to the light
Em G Bm A
You want to be sure I'll give you sight, brother just lean in to the light
Em G Bm A
The road to the kingdom's burning bright, brother just lean in to the light
Em G Bm A
Follow the sun out of the night, brother just lean in
Em G Bm A
Em G Bm A
Brother just lean in to the light
Em G Bm
Brother just lean in, brother just lean it to the light
Em A
Here comes the calling
Em A
Here comes the calling
