Penitent

	  		
 

Am 
Once I stood alone so proud held myself above the crowd 
G                   Am 
now i am low on the ground. 
Am  
From here i look around to see what avenues belong to me 
G                      Am 
I can't tell what ive found. 

Am       G         F 
Now what would You have me do 
Am  G     F 
i ask you please? 
Am  G     Em       C 
I wait to hear. 

Am 
The mother, and the matador, the mystic, all were here before, 
G                     Am 
like me, to stare You down. 
Am  
You appear without a face, disappear, but leave your trace, 
G                  Am 
i feel your unseen frown. 

Am       G         F 
Now what would you have me do 
Am  G     F 
I ask you please? 
Am  G     Em 
i wait to hear 
  
     C 
your voice, 
    F 
the word, 
    G 
you say 
   Em     C    
i wait to see your sign 
G    F    G 
would i  
Em 
obey? 

Am 
I look for you in heathered moor, the desert, and the ocean floor 
G                     Am 
how low does one heart go. 
Am 
looking for your fingerprints i find them in coincidence, 
G                    Am 
and make my faith to grow. 
Am 
Forgive me all my blindnesses my weakness and unkindnesses 
G               Am 
as yet unbending still. 
Am 
struggling so hard to see my fist against eternity 
G                      Am 
and will you break my will? 

Am       G          F 
Now what would you have me do 
Am G      F 
i ask you please? 
Am G     Em 
i wait to hear 
     C 
your voice, 
    F 
the word 
    G 
you say 
  Em      C    
i wait to see your sign  
 G   F      G 
could i  
Em 
obey?
