• Intro

Intro



Intro
C#m           B
Must I look below
      C#m         B
Mildewy timbers?
C#m       B
Staves my feet
  C#m        B
Are perched on (Ooh)
        C#m                   B
Able to bear my weight with no protest
   C#m       B
And yet I am
               C#m
To tumble down

Spoken
C#m
Dare me to flood what is already drowning
                     B
Shoot him whose heart you can already see
B
She who refuses to peek through the curtains
                         C#m
The children are angry as they should be

Verse 1
C#m                 B
Down to where I can hear them
C#m             B
"Glory thy stillness"
      C#m       B
Was a verse mistaken
C#m            B
By disfavored ones
         C#m
Like you

Interlude
C#m
Oh-ha-oh-ha
B
Oh-ha-oh-ha-ha

Pre-Chorus
C#m
To douse a scalded tongue
  B
Incanted herd and flock!
     C#m                               B
In places the lark haven't carolled heretofore

Chorus
C#m
From faults, favors, failures and the truth!
B
From faults, favors, failures and the truth!
C#m
From faults, favors, failures and the truth!
B
That love alone-
Love alone isn't enough!

Outro
C#m
From faults, favors, failures and the truth!
B
From faults, favors, failures and the truth!
C#m
From faults, favors, failures and the truth!
B
That love alone-
                           C#m
Love alone isn't enough!
