G                            Am
Ask her when you're upstairs later on
         Em                       C           G
With her eyes bowing down and her last light gone
    G                                Am
You looked up to her window from the backyard dusk,
Em               C             G
Hired as a shot, lingered as a crush.
G                             Am
Stake me when I'm running and I'll stay down.
Em                                 C     G
See, I've only had a photograph to drag around.
          G                        Am
Would you take another trip with a candle like her?
Em                         C        G
Strike another promise and watch it burn.
D
Someone drove off slow.
        C
Another left the day before.
Am
Time was saved,
          C
But not a thing was changed.
G   Am   Em   C    G
Faith         Faith
G                               Am
It's low and it's bright and it won't be known
Em                                   C     G
Till you wake up to the sound of the light below
        G                      Am
Did you lose her mercy on some torn-down friend?
Em                         C     G
Half of nothing wasted and split again
D
If one of us had shown up,
C
Faded, fond, and tried
Am
Waiting for some rain,
      C
Not a thing would change.
G   Am   Em   C    G
Faith         Faith
