VERSE 1
 
G 
Opening salvo 
 
G 
Didn't help solve anything 
 
G             C 
Every time we shout our rights out 
 
   D                   G 
We get all grouchy and gray 
 
G 
It's all about me, me 
 
G 
It's all about what I can take 
 
G                   C 
And if that doesn't ring true anymore 
 
D                         G 
Maybe it was our first mistake 
 
G                    C 
And since we don't believe in Santa Claus 
 
D                     G 
Maybe we'd best stay awake 
 
CHORUS
 
G            C 
Every time a teardrop falls 
 
C                           Em 
It's kicking up dust in our world of pain 
 
Em                      D 
Let's get drenched under God's good rain 
 
D                        G 
Caught in a deluge of mercies 
 
G             C 
Like a pebble clings to dirt 
 
C                       Em 
We're still clinging to bedrock sin 
 
Em                     D 
Let's get swept off our feet again 
 
D                        G 
Caught in a landslide of love 
 
VERSE 2
 
G 
It's all about me, me 
 
G 
It's all about all I can take 
 
G                 C 
The good I try to do goes nowhere 
 
D                       G 
The bad just seizes the day 
 
G                     C 
And if we're here for something bigger, baby 
 
D                            G 
There's gotta be some better way 
 
CHORUS
 
BRIDGE
 
C 
No, not angels or devils 
 
G 
No, not famine or war 
 
C 
No, not the past or the present 
 
C            Em        D                G 
Not even the ground separates from God's love 
 
G            Em        D              G 
Not even the ground separates from His love 
 
CHORUS
