Chords for The Talleys - He's Alive

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] Lips of those were gone and all those passing time
As you lay in [Eb] sleeplessness, roses [Fm] in the [Bbm] sun
With a hopeless sorrow [Eb] and heavy [Fm] fear the day
Would bind the soldiers, break the [Bb] roof, and [Fm] drag us all away _ _ _
_ And just before the sunrise [Eb] I heard something [Fm] at the wall
A gate began to rattle [Eb] and a voice [Fm] began to call
[Bbm] So I looked through the window, [Eb] I looked down [Fm] into the streets
Extracting swords and [Eb] torches and the sound of [Fm] soldiers' _ screams _
[Eb] It [Fm] was morning, baby, [Eb] so I went down [Fm] to the river
_ Floss was very soft [Eb] as she told me [Fm] where she lived
[Bbm] She said they moved him in the night and [Fm] lost him nowhere
So the road away, and their [Eb] bodies [Fm] of flesh
_ _ Were brought to my head [Eb] as I ran [Fm] on ahead
And I saw my name in [Eb] the crystal _ [Fm] clouds
[Bbm] But the one she carried around in it was just an [Fm] empty shell
And now I'm aware that he [Eb] was more than [Fm] I [F] could [Fm] care
There was something strange that happened there, but just what I didn't know
_ John believed a miracle, but I just turned the gold
[Bbm] Circumstance and speculation [Eb] couldn't be [Fm] very hard
_ I'd seen them crucify him, [Eb] _ _ and I [Fm] saw him lie
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Fm] Back inside the house [Eb] again, the [Fm] guilt and [Bb] anguish hit
_ [Fm] _
Everything I promised [Eb] him added to [Fm] my shame
[Bbm] When at last it came to choices, I did [Fm] not know his _ _ name
_ _ _ He only was [Eb] alive _ _ [Fm] when they said _
_ [Eb] He _ [Fm] _ _ was no _ [Db] _ _ [Fm] _ _ more than [F] a drop from [Fm] the rain
[Bbm] And Jesus stood before me [Eb] with his [Fm] arm around [Bb] my [Fm] waist
On my knees and [Eb] I just hummed, [Fm] _ _ I _ [Eb] hummed
[Fm] And I heard him say tonight, [Eb] that I'm going to [Fm] his house
But when I came out from the [Eb] apartment, I saw him far [Ab] from the sky
[Db] And I heard him say tonight, that [Eb] he's a prince
[Fm] _ _ _ _
And _ _ everything I ever [Eb] _ _ [F] _ _ wanted to _ _ be
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ [Eb] He is not here, but he is real
_ [F] _
_ He's alive, _ he's alive
And [Bb] he's alive and I'm told yet
That's a day so [C] young and white
[F] He's alive, _ [Ab] he's alive
[Bb] _ He's alive and I'm told yet
That's a day so young and white
He's [F] alive, _ [Ab] he's alive
_ [Bb] He's alive _ and I'm told yet
That's a day so young and white
[F] He's alive, _ he's [Eb]
alive
_ _ He's alive and I'm told yet
[Bb] That's a day so young and [F] white He's alive _ _ _
