Shadowfeet

Am7 D G C G/B Am7 Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet D G C Am7 Toward home, a land that I've never seen D G C G/B Am7 I am changing: Less and less asleep D G C G/B Made of different stuff than when I beganF G D And I have sensed it all alongAm D Fast approaching is the day

C G D When the world has fallen out from under me C G D I'll be found in you, still standing C G B7 When the sky rolls up and mountains fall on their knees CWhen time and space are through G D I'll be found in you

Am7 D G C G/B Am7 There’s distraction buzzing in my head D G C G/B Am7 Saying in the shadows it's easier to stay D G C G/B Am7 But I've heard rumours of true reality D CWhispers of a well-lit way

C G D You make all things new

C G D When the world has fallen out from under me C G D I'll be found in you, still standing C G B7 Every fear and accusation under my feet CWhen time and space are through G D I'll be found in you

Deciphering Me

G C Friend, it's getting late, we should be going G D C We have sat here beneath these flickering neons for hours. G C While I am cracking their code, you are deciphering me Em D Am For I am a mystery, I am a locked room in a tall tower.

C G D Am Oh can you feel the gravity falling, calling us home? C G D Am Oh did you see the stars colliding? Shining just to show, C We belong. G We belong. G C Your telescope eyes see everything clearly G My vision is blurred but I know what I herd C Echoing all around. G C Well I am tuning you in and you are deciphering me. Em D Am Not such a mystery, not such a faint and far away sound.

C G D Am Oh can you feel the gravity falling? Calling us home? C G D Am Oh did you see the stars colliding? Shining just to show, C We belong. Am We belong. Am Em Its love, its love that holds us G D We will be alright Am Em Its truth, its truth that shows us G D As we walk in this life.

Am Em Its love, its love that holds us G D We will be alright Am Em Its truth, its truth that shows us G D As we walk in this life.

Love Is Waiting

G Em7 C2

G Em7 C2In the autumn on the groundG Em7 C2Between the traffic and the ordinary soundsG Em7 C2I am thinking signs and seasons G Em7 C2 While a north wind blows throughG Em7 C2I watch as lovers pass me byG Em7 C2Walking stories, who’s and how’s and why’sG Em7 C2Musing lazily on love, pondering you

Am7Let’s give it time, give it spaceDAnd be still for a spellAm7When it’s time to walk that way C2 D We wanna walk it well

G Em7 C2I’ll be waiting for you babyG Em7 C2I’ll be holding back the darkest nightG Em7 C2Love is waiting ‘til we’re ready G Em7‘Til it’s rightC2Love is waiting

G Em7 C2It’s my caution not the cold G Em7 C2There’s no other hand that I would rather holdG Em7 C2The climate changes, I’m singing for strangers about you

Am7Don’t keep time, slow the paceDHoney hold on if you canAm7The bets are getting surer now C2 DThat you’re my man

Am7 Em D GI could write a million songs about the way you say my name Am7 Em D GI could live a lifetime with you and then do it all again Am7 EmAnd like I can’t force the sun to rise D GOr hasten summer’s start F C DNeither should I rush my way into your heart

Albertine

Capo 3, Intro Am C AmC I am sitting still AmI think of Angelique FHer mother's voice over me AmAnd the bullets in the wall where it fell silentC And on a thousandth hill AmI think of Albertine FThere in her eyes what I don't see AmWith my own.

FRwanda CNow that I have seen G Dm7I am responsible FFaith without deeds is dead CNow that I have held you G Dm7In my own arms AmI cannot let go 'til you areAm C Am

C And I am on a plane AmAcross a distant sea FBut I carry you in me

In the dust on, the dust onAmThe dust on my feetAm C Am

C Am I will tell the world F CI will tell them where I've been AmI will keep my word F CI will tell them AlbertineAm C Am

C And I am on a stage AmA thousand eyes on me FI will tell them, Albertine AmI will tell them, Albertine

C.S. Lewis Song

Am C G Dm Am C G DmAh............................. Ah................... If I

Dm F G Am Em7 F G Asus2If I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy F G Am Em7 F I can only conclude that I, I was not made for here F G Am Em7 F G AmIf the flesh that I fight is at best only light and momentary F G Am Em7 F G AmThen of course I'll feel nude when to where I'm destined I'm compared

Am C G Speak to me in the light of the dawnDm Am C G DmMercy comes with the morning Am C GI will sigh and with all creation groan Dm Am C G Dmas I wait for hope to come for me

F GAm I lost or just less found? Am Em7 F G AmOn the straight or on the roundabout of the wrong way? F G Is this a soul that stirs in me? Am Em7 F G AmIs it breaking free, wanting to come alive?

Dm F Am9'Cause my comfort would prefer for me to be numb Dm F C GAnd avoid the impending birth of who I was born to become

Am C G Speak to me in the light of the dawnDm Am C G DmMercy comes with the morning Am C GI will sigh and with all creation groan Dm Am C G Dmas I wait for hope to come for me

C AmFor we, we are not long here Dm GOur time is but a breath, so we better breathe it C Am Dm GAnd I, I was made to live, I was made to love, I was made to know youAm C G Dm Hope is coming for meAm C G Dm Hope is coming for meAm C G Dm Hope is coming for meAm C G Dm Hope, He's coming Am C G Speak to me in the light of the dawnDm Am C G DmMercy comes with the morning

Am C GI will sigh and with all creation groan Dm Am C G Dmas I wait for hope to come for me for me Am C G Dm Am C G DmFor me........................................................Am C G Dm Am C G Dm Ah............................. Ah...........................

Faithful

G CThere's distance in the air and I cannot make it leave D AmI wave my arms 'round about me and blow with all my might G CI cannot sense you close, though I know you're always here D Am Csus4 CBut the comfort of you near is what I long for

G C Am DWhen I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same G C Am DWhen I can't hear you, I know you still hear every word I pray Em C D GAnd I want you more than I want to live another day Am C G C Am DAnd as I wait for you maybe I'm made more faithful

G CAll the folly of the past, though I know it is undone D AmI still feel the guilty one, still trying to make it right G CSo I whisper soft your name, let it roll around my tongue, D AmKnowing you're the only one who knows me CYou know me

Bm C Dsus4 DShow me how I should live thisBm C Dsus4 DShow me where I should walk Bm C Dsus4 DI count this world as loss to me AmYou are all I want C G C Am DYou are all I want

Hosea's Wife

Em7 (or 9)I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me Am9She had a heart with hesitant, halting speech Em7 Am9That turned to mine and asked belligerently, "What do I live for?" Em7I see the scars of searches everywhere I go Am9From hearts to wars to literature to radio Em7 There's a question like a shame no one will show, Am9"What do I live for?"

CWe are Hosea's wife DWe are squandering this life Em AUsing people like ladders and words like knives

CIf we've eyes to see EmIf we've ears to hear D AmTo find it in our hearts and mouths, the word that saves is near CShed that shallow skin EmCome and live again DLeave all you were before Am9To believe is to begin

Em7There is a truth in little corners of our lives Am9There are hints of it in songs and childrens' eyes Em7It's familiar, like an ancient lullaby Am9What do I live for?

CWe are Hosea's wife DWe are squandering this life Em AUsing Bodies like money and truth like lies

CIf we've eyes to see EmIf we've ears to hear D AmTo find it in our hearts and mouths, the word that saves is near CShed that shallow skin EmCome and live again

DLeave all you were before AmTo believe is to begin

EmWe are more than dust CThat means something AThat means somethingAm EmWe are more than just C Ablood and emotions, inklings and notions, D B7atoms on oceans

CWe are Hosea's wife DWe are squandering this life Em AUsing people like ladders and words like knives

CIf we've eyes to see EmIf we've ears to hear D AmTo find it in our hearts and mouths, the word that saves is near CShed that shallow skin EmCome and live again DLeave all you were before AmTo believe is to begin

Em D CTo believe is to beginEm D CTo believe is to beginEm D CTo believe is to begin
