Intro: Gm D#/F x2 
 
Gm D#/F 
I had a big idea 
Gm D#/F 
I had a crazy eye 
Gm D#/F 
I broke the sacred seal 
             Gm  F 
I told a lazy lie 
 
Gm D#/F 
I've had my conscience bent 
Gm D#/F 
I've had my patience tried 
Gm                  F          D#           F    Gm F/F 
I've been up in the desert and down by the river side 
 
Gm D#/F 
Will the eagle fly 
Gm D#/F 
If the sky's untrue 
Gm D#/F 
Do the faithful sigh 
Gm  F 
Because they are so few 
 
Gm D#/F 
Remember when I cried 
Gm D#/F 
Remember when you knew 
Gm           F            D#       F  Gm F/F 
Remember the look in your eyes, I know I do 
 
F             D#                F 
And count the stars to measure time 
F            D#                  A#   D7 
The earth is hard, the treasure fine 
       Gm           A#     C    C/D 
To the sea, I crawl on my knees 
 
Gm D#/F x2 
 
Gm D#/F 
Feel it coming in 
Gm D#/F 
Feel it going out 
Gm D#/F 
Water covers sin 
Gm F 
Blood covers doubt 
Gm D#/F 
So I begin again 
Gm D#/F 
Again the kneeling bow 
Gm          F          D#                        F       Gm F/F 
There was a time that I might have surrendered, But not now 
 
F                   D# 
And count the stars to measure time 
F                    D#           A#   A7 
The earth is hard, the treasure fine 
Gm  F  D#  F   
To the sea I crawl on my knees 
 
F                    D# 
And count the stars to measure time 
F                    D#           A#  A7 
The earth is hard, the treasure fine 
Gm  F  D#   
At the sea I wait on my knees 
Gm  F  D#   
At the sea I wait on my knees 
Gm  F  D# F  Gm D#/F Gm D#/F 
At the sea I wait on my knees
