D
Lord
A
Show me a sign
D
That you’re still there
G
That you still care
D
That you’re still with me
A
That you still know me
G A
Before I resign
D
Show me a sign
D
I can’t laugh
Bm
I can’t weep
D
Five nights in a row now
A
Not a second of sleep
G
Is there something
Bm
You want me to know
G A
Well I wish you’d tell me what
D
Give me some kind of show
D
How ‘bout a meteor
Bm
Or a shooting star
D
Or even a drunk
A
Getting thrown out of the bar
G
I’m getting impatient
Bm
And hope is expensive
G
And I’m running low on
A D
Everything these days
D
The waters are rising
Bm
And the world is on fire
D
We’re all just gasoline
A
For the funeral pyre
G
In the palaces morons
Bm
In the hospitals ghouls
G A
Murderers in the towns
D
Rats in the schools
D
Armies of zombies
Bm
And the generals fishing
D
And baby Jesus
A
On a suicide mission
G
And little Mohammed
Bm
Lifeless and brown
G A
And drowning faceless scarecrows
D
Wearing the crown
D
Ten thousand whistlers
Bm
Off-track and off-tune
D
Sixteen drummers
A
Wearing some kind of rune
G
Some kind of amulet
Bm
Some pre-Christian cross
G A
And one man’s lucky roll
D
Is another man’s loss
D
Lord, you should have been there
Bm
Last Saturday night
D
I broke a couple barstools
A
And I broke up a fight
G
I broke three fingers
Bm
They looked kind of Egyptian
G A
And the doctor wouldn’t see me
D
Without a prescription
D
If this is how
Bm
It’s all gonna go
D
I might as well pile up
A
Frequent flier miles and lay low
G
I might as well buy up
Bm
Some spiritual trinkets
G A
Line the walls with paint
D
And start to drink it
D
It’s hard to believe
Bm
It’s goin’ down so fast
D
When Einstein died
A
He thought you built it to last
G
But they threw him in a hole
Bm
And they stole his brain
G
And three days later
A D
It washed up again in the rain
D
Lord, I’ll make you a bargain
Bm
I’ll cut you a deal
D
They can cut off my eyelids
A
And I won’t squeal
G
I won’t spill your secrets
Bm
My soul’s locked tight
G
Just please let me
A D
Get a little sleep tonight
D
Fifty thousand horses
Bm
Ten thousand sheep
D
I’d trade ‘em all
A
For just a second of sleep
G
The kind with dreams though
Bm
You gotta have dreams
G A
I’ve heard about what happens
D
At the other extreme
D
Yeah without them dreams
Bm
You go insane
D
It’s like having mayonnaise
A
Shot into your brain
G
But maybe I’m the exception
Bm
Every dog has its day
G A
Maybe I’m a brand new species
D
What do you say
D Bm D A G Bm G A D
D
So look out the window
Bm
Might be something out there
D
Maybe something to read
A
Here’s a Vanity Fair
G
Winter is coming
Bm
That’s a relief
G A
And I’m willing to go on faith
D
But I’m past belief
D Bm D A G Bm G A D
