Vengeance And Grace Alone

[Intro ]
C 


[Verso 1]
 
C 
When I go down 
C 
I will drop my final hammer 
            Am 
And hit the ground 
      C 
But I hope I can remember 
      F              C 
And imprint on me forever 
                    Am      G 
A love that you can measure in miles 
 


[Verso 2]
 
       C 
When I rise 
       F                 C 
I will clean that rusted barrel 
G        Am 
Hone the knife 
    C 
And pray that I am able 
        F             C 
To bear sorrow like a cradle 
          F                Am    G    C 
Take some burdens off your table for awhile 
 


[Refrão]
 
F       C         Am 
Torn by vengeance and grace 
              F      C 
I learned the hard way 
              F      Am   G 
I learned the hard way 
 


[Verso 3]
 
          C 
When I'm around 
        F             C 
We will wander in the garden 
          Am 
Enjoy the sound 
       F                 C 
And pretend that I ain't broken 
             F              C 
Like there's nothing left unspoken 
                        Am    G 
Like my heart is always open and wild 
 


[Verso 4]
 
         C 
When I'm gone 
C 
I may gamble with my demons 
            Am 
I'll bet it all 
        C 
For the trial I am seeking 
C 
Like a child softly pleading 
         F                            C 
That the violence wasn't needed after all 
 


[Refrão]
 
F       C         Am 
Torn by vengeance and grace 
              F      C 
I learned the hard way 
              F      Am 
I learned the hard way 
              F      C 
I learned the hard way 
              F      Am 
I learned the hard way
