          Am 
Leads to nowhere

Any shade is as good as the next

If your shadow doesn't go there 
 Em                 F 
Week seven: Did you really assume 
     Am                        G 
I'd find some solace from the letter in your room? 
  Em                   F 
Next life, could you kindly refain 
       Am                       G 
From throwing yourself at the mercy of a train?

Silence that evil with good

Hear me out, I have the floor 
                   C                  F 
I'll give you my tears, I'll listen more 
                   A#

Maybe this world is a barren place for a soul 
              Am 
Prone to get lost 
 Dm                               C 
But heaven still hounds from the smallest sounds 
         F           Am 
To the cries of the storm-tossed 
  Em               F 
Week nine: I am writing in the sand 
 Am                         G 
Any little clue that could help me understand 
  Em                     F 
Every whispered secret, every muffled sigh 
  Am                       G 
Every half-truth that was added to a lie 

Chorus 2 
 Am         Dm       G 
Silence all, nobody move 
                   C                    F 
I've got to know now what you hoped to prove 
                  A#

Shame feeds guilt, guilt needs release 
                 C 
You took it to God 
                F 
You made your peace 
                     A# 
And swore that you would 
                    F 
Overcome evil with good

verse 3 
  Em               F 
Every old demon playing back the crime 
  Am                            G 
If they needed blood, I'd have gladly given mine 
  Em                    F 
A Child of the Kingdom; still an invalid 
   Am 
Forgive her, please Father 
      G 
She don't know what she did

The water's free, the well is deep 
             A#

That which we never could earn?

God, I long to see her face 
              C 
We haven't a hope 
              F 
Beyond Your grace 
                 A# 
I know that You will 
              F 
Overcome evil 
       Dm 
For good
