That my enemies are slow, that my fevers are weak
Am F
That my lessons don’t hurt, that my medicine is sweet
C C
That these days are not the pearls, and I am not the swine
Am F
That faithful’s not a word that I cannot define
G Am
That I find my will to fight, that I lose my taste for drink
F
And if that’s too much to ask, that my hangovers are brief
G Am
That while we’re here on earth I can keep the difference hid
F
Between what I should have done and what I really did
[Bridge]
C Am F
C C
That my children live out stories they can tell around a fire

That they can recognize beauty, that they can recognize a liar
C C
That their innocence remains, that they never question my love
Am F
That they work to build cathedrals they won’t live to pray inside of
G Am
That our better angels sing of peace instead of war

C Am F
[Verse 2]
C C
That it feels just like a memory when my father calls me home
Am F
Like I’m racing under streetlights back to dinner on the stove
C C
That there’s a candle in my window, that there’s roses on my grave
Am F
From those that I befriended, from those that I betrayed
G Am F
That the three men I admire the most, never caught that last train for the coast
Em F
That the music never died, that the levy wasn’t dry
G Am
That we might be east of eden But we’re heading west tonight
C Am
Well, I heard the news this morning and my hope will never end
F G
That you found heaven quick from here in Baltimore, my friend
*End on C
