[Bb] [Cm]
Rolled off the highway [Eb] in Missouri, although [Bb] our hearts were heavy [Cm] laden.
Made for that chapel, whispered [Eb] spray paint for [Bb] all the things we'd held [Cm] in secret.
[C] Lord lift up these [Cm] lifeless bones.
[F]
Life cascading [A] through [C] the windows, all [Bb] the rainbows, heavy [G] tones.
But [Cm] as his [Eb] sign in [Ab] the sky, [C] he has raised [Cm] me from [G] the pit.
They sent [Cm] me off at Weissing, ruined,
[Eb] [Bb] drunk on the spirit [F] and high on [Cm] fumes.
Checked into a red roof and [Eb] stayed up for several [Bb] hours and then slept [Cm] like infants
in [C] the [F] burning fuselage.
[Cm] [C]
Let mine [Bb] be ever fresh with [G] praise, but he [C] has [Eb] fixed his sign in the [Ab] sky.
[C]
[Cm] He has raised me from the pit [G] [C] and set me high.
[F] Each [Cm] morning new,
[F] each day shot [Eb] through, [Cm]
[F]
[Cm] [Ab]
[Cm] seemed to burst out of [G] me and you.
[Cm] And that's what he says, we [Eb] will get there when [Bbm] we get [F] there.
[Cm] Don't you worry, he'll bow out the things [Eb] we do along the [F] way, but never really [Cm] that's that.
[C]
He inhales the frozen [Cm] air,
[F] but send me a [Cm] mechanic [Am] if [Bb] I'm not [G] beyond repair.
But [Cm] he has fixed his [Eb] sign [Ab] in the sky.
[Cm]
He has raised me [G] from the pit, he will send me [Cm] high.
