Текст песни с аккордами
Вступление
Dave's acoustic version here is intense and awesome:
The chords sound best if you get the hammer-on's going on the C, Am and F chords in the verse
(Hammer-on/pull-off on the middle note in each chord)
[Verse 1]
C G G7 Am F
I never got to kiss your head, ah, Emme
C G F
And the call came the week I got divorced
C G Am F
I thought I had a real understanding then of loss
C G F
But I didn't know a thing 'til you were gone
C G Am F
And I'm tired of trying to find some sort of meaningful thing
C G F
In making sense of such unspeakable loss
C G Am F
But as I'm staring at your folks, the sweetest people I know
C G F
I get a glimpse of what it is to be strong
C G F
Just holding hands and sobbing with sunglasses on
[Chorus]
F C F C
'Cause nothing tuned me in to absurdity as fast
F C Am G
As a gravestone with the name of a baby that has passed
F C Am G
I used to wanna be important, now I just wanna be alive
F G
And without fear
You got to persevere
[Instrumental]
C G G7 Am F
C G F
(x2)
[Verse 2]
C G G7 Am F
I couldn't count the times I've ragged on heaven
C G F
As an opiate invented by the weak
C G F C
It's an argument I hate 'cause I'm content to love the fates
C G F
But it comes up a lot with Emme's dad and me
C G Am F
So I'm shotgun in the car and we're just shooting the shit
C G F
And predictably, the talking turns to God
C G Am F
So I throw him forty lines how I don't think he exists
C G F
And he just smiles and takes a dignified pause
C G F
Says, "It's okay to feel unbelievably lost"
[Chorus]
F C F C
But God is full of grace and his faithfulness is vast
F C Am G
There is safety in the moments when the shit has hit the fan
F C Am G
Not some vindictive motherfucker, nor is he shitty at his job
F G
What words to hear
And I'm a mess by now
F C F C
'Cause nothing tuned me in to my failure as fast
F C Am G
As grieving for a friend with more belief than I possessed
F C Am
"It's not some disembodied heaven," he assured me
G F G
Then he laughs and says through tears
F C Am G
"You got to persevere"
F C Am G
Persevere
F C Am G
Persevere
F C Am G
Persevere

[Outro]
F C Am G
We threw a party up in here, but God, it was bittersweet
F C Am G
I live hard 'cause I am scared that I won't mean anything
F C Am G
So now I'm praying to the ceiling, to the windows, to the walls
F C Am G
Against this sudden sinking feeling that there's nothing there at all
And still we just persevere
[Outro]
F C Am G
(repeat to fade)
