[N]
[A#m] When we were [F#] about to finish the album, John said, you know, you can't really have an album
about the [F] South without having [E] a gospel song, but neither [A] of us is traditionally [F] religious.
[Am] So [G] we want to write a gospel song [E] that is [Am] with [A]
respect [Am] [E] for them.
[Am]
[F#m] This is a [E] secular gospel song about that longing for something bigger than [Am] yourself.
[F] That [A] longing for [F] a place other than your [Am] burdens.
[D] [Am]
When you're like a broken [D] [E] bird, tell me how to fly.
[D] [Am] That which leans against [Bm] the [E] dark will take you.
[D] [C] When you're worried so much you sleep down [G] at night,
don't
[F] [Em] you ever [D] want to know where's gold or [C] fame?
[Bm] [Am] When you've got no one to love, [E] tell him
[D] [Am] someone on the [Dm] telephone [E] to take.
[D] [C] Every stone and fall apart, tell heaven
[Em]
[D] nothing but this inside will come [C] from above.
Tell [G] heaven,
[A] tell [G] heaven
[Am]
[D] [E]
[D] [Am]
[D] [Em] [E]
[C]
[G] [F]
[Em] [D]
[C]
[Bm] [C] heavy hearts and empty [D] rooms, [E] tell heaven
[D] you [Am] don't have to know what [D] you [E] lose.
[D] [C] When this guy may never take a [G] burden,
[Em]
someday [D] good or [Bm] someday hard.
