[C]
[Eb] [F]
[C]
Pulled off the highway [Ebm] in Missouri, though [F] our hearts were heavily [C] laden.
Made for the chapel with [Ebm] some spray paint for all the [F] things we'd held in [C] secret.
Lord lift up these lifeless bones.
Light [F] cascading through [C] the windows, [Bb] all the rainbows, heavy [G] tubs.
He [C] has fixed [Bb] his sign [G] in the [Ab] sky.
[C] He has raised me from the [G] pit and set me [C] high.
Left that place in ruin, [Eb] drunk on [F] spirit and high on [C] fumes.
Checked into a red roof [Bb] and stayed up for several [F] hours and then slept like [C] infants
in the burning fuselage of my days.
[F] Let [C] my mouth [Bb] be ever fresh with [G]
grace.
He [C] has fixed [G] his [Bb]
[G] sign in [Cm] the sky.
He [C] has raised me from [G] the pit and set [C] me high.
[F] Each morning [Cm] new,
[F] each day [Cm] shot through
[F] with all the sharp small [C] shards of shrapnel
[Ab]
and all [C] that seemed to burst out of me.
[G] I knew I
[C] could carry it down to Kansas.
We [Bb] will get there when [F] we get there.
Don't [C] you worry.
Feel bad about the things [Eb] we threw [F] along the way, but not [C] really that way.
We inhaled the frozen air.
[F] Lord send me [C] a mechanic if [Bb] I'm not [G] beyond repair.
He [C] has fixed his sign in the [F] sky.
[C] He has raised me from the [G] pit and he will set me [C] high.
