[Verse 1]
C G
I'm hollowed out
Em Am
I can't decide if I should pray
C G
Or if I should write a song
Em Am
About the crushing weight of hopes I made
C G
Waiting for you
Em Am
Like a lonely homestead pioneer
C G
Your home is nearly done
Em Am
So give me a heartbeat give me a heartbeat son
C G
Ahh oooh oooh ooh sha sha ahoo sha sha
Em Am
Ahh oooh oooh ooh sha sha ahoo sha sha
C G
The waiting room,
Em Am
Should be renamed for contemplating doom
C G
And to the preacher you can tell
Em Am
I'm layin' bricks for a home...
C
not a wishing well
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
[Chorus]
Em G
And I've done what can be done
Em C
And I've tried not to believe
C
The worst is yet to come
Em G
And now God's the only one
Em C
Who can huff and puff and breathe
C
My hopes from being born
[Verse 2]
Am B C
And when the castles burned
C
And when the moon has turned
G
I will be the one who's won
G
I will be the one who's love was earned
Am
And this is not a lapse in faith
C
This is not a passing phase
Em
This is a result of roughed up hands
Em F G
And families raised
Am
But if all he wants is praise
Am B C
He should turn on radio
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
[Chorus]
Em G
And I've done what can be done
Em C
And I've tried not to believe
C
The worst is yet to come
[Bridge]
Em
Our kids are dying in their schools
G
Senators are buying pools
C
Our kids are walking through nightmares
C
Oh thank you for your thoughts and prayers
Em
I sent my boys to school today
G
We sent our kids to school today
C
What is a man supposed to do
Am
What is a man supposed to do
[Chorus]
Em G
And I've done what can be done
Em C
And I've tried not to believe
C
The worst is yet to come
Em G
And now God's the only one
Em C
Who can huff and puff and breathe
C Em
My hopes from being born
