Verse
Em
Well the end is right
C
Yet the world gets by
G A7
While they fill my skies with junk
Em C G A7
Still celestial bodies spinning out the sun
C G
I'll bring in your deliverance as one
Em
And the wound it starts
C
How to age this ox
G
Come and take my body
A7
So far so far
Em C
Cause home may be calling
G A7
A home some other love
C
But there's a new day witness!
G
I'm lost
C
Pour the sticky pine
Am
Build some other mind
D Am
Cause faith ain't enough ain't enough
Em C
For as God's my pilot
G A7
I need Him to make the chance
C G
To round my escape from this isle
Em
Well the end is right
C
Yet the world gets by
G A7
While they fill my skies with goodbyes
Em C G A7
Still celestial bodies spinning out the sun
C G A7
I'll bring in your deliverance as one
C G A7
They'll bring in your deliverance as one as one
C G A7
They'll bring in your deliverance as one as one
Outro let ring
