We Dont Eat

	  		  

Intro: G C G  

VERSE 1  



G		C			G  
if this is redemption, why do i bother at all  
G		C			G  
theres nothing to mention, and nothing has changed  
C		C		C		Em  
still id rather be working at something, than praying for the rain  
C		C		G  
so i wander on, till someone else is saved  


   
G		C		G  
i moved to the coast, under a mountain  
G		C		G  
swam in the ocean, slept on my own  
C		C		C		Em  
at dawn i would watch the sun, cut ribbons through the bay  
C		C		Em  
id remember all, the things my mother wrote  

  

Em		C		G  
that we dont eat until your fathers at the table  
Em		C		G  
we dont drink until the devils turned to dust  
C		D			Em  
never once has any man ive met been able to love  
C		C		G  
so if i were you, id have a little trust  

 
VERSE 2  
G		C			G  
two thousand years, ive been in that water  
G		C		G  
two thousand years, sunk like a stone  
C		C		    Em  
desperately reaching for nets that the fishermen have thrown  
C		C		G  
trying to find, a little bit of hope  


G		C		G  
me i was holding, all of my secrets soft and hid  
G		C		G  
pages were folded, then there was nothing at all  
C		C		Em  
so if in the future i might, need myself a saviour  
C		C			G  
i'll remember what was, written on that wall  

CHORUS  

BRIDGE  

C			D  
am i an honest man and true  
D			Em  
have i been good to you at all  
Em				C  
oh im so tired of playing these games  


C  
wed just be running down   
D					D  
the same old lines, the same old stories of  
C					D  
breathless trains and, worn down glories  
C					D  
houses burning, worlds that turn on their own  

 
  
Em		C		G  
that we dont eat until your fathers at the table  
Em		C		G  
we dont drink until the devils turned to dust  
C		D			Em  
never once has any man ive met been able to love  
C		C  
so if i were you my friend  
C		C		G  
learn to have just a, little bit of trust.
