Am G F Am G F
Am G F Am G F
[Verse 1]
Am
Like a crimminal guilty on all counts,
G
rattling his cage with every ounce
F
Of resolve he never had. . . I was convicted
Am
Then I took the pardon And the walls came down
G
But I must like it here Cause I keep hanging around
F
For a better suit, and an escort
F
And a winning lottery ticket
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C F
First we waited for miracles
C F
Then we needed a sign
Am G
Now we're here to confess
F
We've wasted the time
F
But I know, I know, I know, I know that
[Chorus 1]
C F Dm
Every blade will wither and fade
F
As the old man dies again
C F Dm
Seasons pass, we're clinging to grass
F C
'Cause we've lost the sky again
[Verse 2]
Am
Like a woman trying to give birth
G
She strains, she labors
F
She's not sure if it's worth the suffering
F
As she wonders, "How long?"
Am
When I first heard the rumor You were coming back
G
I confess my impatience I guess I lost track of what
F
I'm to persevere for
F
Of the reason you put me here for
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C F
Remember when it was any day now?
C F
Never dreamed we were wrong
Am G
Now we're shaking our heads
F
Wondering, "how long?"
F
But I know, I know, I know, I know that
[Chorus 2]
C F Dm
Every blade will wither and fade
F
As the old man dies again
C F Dm
Seasons pass, we're clinging to grass
F C
'Cause we've lost the sky again]

[Bridge]
F C Am G
I feel a moment of your perfect love
F C Am G
I catch a glimmer of your sweet grace
F C Am G
But it only makes me long for the day
F C Am G
When I'll look full in your face
[Chorus 3]
C F Dm
Every blade will wither and fade
F
As the old man dies again
C F Dm
Seasons pass, we're clinging to grass
F
'Cause we've lost the sky again
C F Dm
Every blade will wither and fade
F
As the old man dies again
C F Dm
Seasons pass, we're clinging to grass
F C
'Cause we've lost the sky again
