Capo 2nd Fret 

Intro: G  Cadd9  Em7  D 

G           Cadd9      Em7        D 
Farther along well know all about it 
G           Cadd9      Em7           D 
Farther along well understand why 
G                 Cadd9     Em7          D 
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine 
G            Cadd9         Em7        D 
Well understand this, all by and by 

G 
Tempted and tried, I wondered why 
       Cadd9 
The good man died, the bad man thrives 
       Em7                                             D 
And Jesus cries because he loves em both 

Were all cast-aways in need of ropes 
G					  Cadd9 
Hangin on by the last threads of our hope 
				Em7 
In a house of mirrors full of smoke 
			     D 
Confusing illusions Ive seen 

 G 
Where did I go wrong, I sang along 
       Cadd9 
To every chorus of the song 
              Em7 
That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates 
D						G 
Leading mice and men down to their fates 
				Cadd9 
But some will courageously escape 
					Em7 
The seductive voice with a heart of faith 
			   D 
While walkin that line back home 

                          G 
So much more to life than weve been told 
          Cadd9 
Its full of beauty that will unfold 
       Em7                                                   D 
And shine like you struck gold my wayward son 
					         G 
That deadweight burden weighs a ton 
				     Cadd9 
Go down into the river and let it run 
					   Em7 
And wash away all the things youve done 
	         D 
Forgiveness alright 


Intro (2x) 

G 
Still I get hard pressed on every side 
	         Cadd9 
Between the rock and a compromise 
             Em7				                D 
Like the truth and pack of lies fightin for my soul 
			         G 
And Ive got no place left go 
					        Cadd9 
Cause I got changed by what Ive been shown 
				     Em7 
More glory than the world has known 
                            D 
Keeps me ramblin on 

		  G 
Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall 
      Cadd9 
Im free to love once and for all 
       Em7			                D 
And even when I fall Ill get back up 
				           G 
For the joy that overflows my cup 
				             Cadd9 
Heaven filled me with more than enough 
				       Em7 
Broke down my levee and my bluff 
			D 
Let the flood wash me 

G 
And one day when the sky rolls back on us 
Cadd9 
Some rejoice and the others fuss 
Em7						                    D 
Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess 

That the son of god is forever blessed 
G				              Cadd9 
His is the kingdom, were the guests 
				         Em7 
So put your voice up to the test 
		             D 
Sing Lord, come soon
