2. Thankful

[E]You know[E7] I ran a[E]cross  [E7]       [E]
           [E6/9]
An old box of letters
When I was bagging up [A2]some clothes for goodwi[Am]ll                   [E]                        [E7]
[E]And you know I had [E7]to la[E]ugh       [E7]             [E]
           [E6/9]
At the same old struggles
That plagued[A2] me then are plaguing me sti[Am]ll             [E]                     [E7]

'Cause I know the road is long
From the ground to glory
But a boy can hope he's getting some place
But you see I'm running from
The very clothes I'm wearing
And dressed like this I'm fit for the chase

‘Cause there[D2] is n[A2]one righteous [E]
Not one [D2]who understa[A2]nds         [E]
[D2]There is no[A2]ne who seeks Go[E]d no not one             [D2]
I said, no not one    [A2]

And so I am thankful that[E] I'm incapable of doi[F#add4]ng any good on [D2]my own        [A2]                        [E]                             [E7]                                  [E]

'Cause we're all still-born
Dead in our transgressions
Shackled up to the sin we hold so dear
What part can I play
In the work of redemption
'Cause I can't refuse and I cannot add a thing

'Cause I am just like Lazarus
And I can hear your voice
I stand and rub my eyes and walk to you
Because I have no choice

And so I am thankful that I'm incapable of doing any good on my own
Said I'm so thankful that I'm incapable of doing any good on my own yeah

'Cause it's by grace I have been saved
And through faith it's not my own
It is a gift of God and not by works
Lest anyone should boast

Repeat chorus

Shifting sand                              Words and music by Aaron Tate
Tune down 1/2 step

[E7]Somet[A]imes I believe all [B]the lies
So I can [E7]do the thing[A]s I should d[B]espise
[E7]And[A] everyda[B]y I am swayed
By whate[E7]ver i[A]s on my [B]mind
[E7]I h[A]ear it all dep[B]ends on my faith
So I'm f[E7]eeling[A] precari[B]ous
[E7]The only [A]problem I [B]have with these mysteries
Is [E7]they're so[A] mysteri[B]ous

[Abm7]And li[F#m]ke a consumer I've been th[E]inking
If I could just g[A2]et a bit more
[Abm]More than my fi[F#m]fteen minutes of f[E]aith
         [A2] A2II [A](add2)
Then I'd be secure

[E]My faith is li[A2]ke shifting sand
C[C#m]hanged by [B]every wa[A]ve
[E]My faith is l[A2]ike shifting sand
So I s[C#m]tand[B] on grac[A]e

I've begged you for some proof
For my Thomas eyes to see
A slithering staff, a leprous hand
And lions resting lazily

A glimpse of your back-side glory
And this soaked altar going ablaze
But you know I've seen so much
And I explained it away

[B]Waters rose as my doubts reigned
[A]My sand-castle faith it slipped away
[Abm]Found myself standing on your [F#m]grace

It'd been there all the time

Intro  [G]    [Gmaj7]    [C2]
         [Em7]    [Em9]   [Am7]  [G/B]  [C2]

As I [C2]surv[G/B]ey the gro[Am7]und [C/G]for an[D2]ts [F#]
[C2]Looking for a p[G/B]lace to[D7sus4] sit and r[G]ead   [C/G]
I'm remin[C2]ded [G/B]of the st[Am7]reets of[C/G] my hom[D2]eto[F#]wn
How they're [C2]much like this co[G/B]ncrete that's[D7sus4] warm beneath my f[G]eet [C/G]

And how I'm all wrapped up in my mother's face
With a touch of my father just up around the eyes
And the sound of my brother's laugh
But more wrapped up in what binds our ever distant lives

[G]But if[Gmaj7] I must [C2]go
[Em7]Things I t[Em9]rust will be be[Am7]tter [G/B]off wi[C2]thout me
But [G]I don't w[Gmaj7]ant to kn[C2]ow
[Em7]Life is [Em9]better [Am7]off  [G/B] a   my[C2]stery

So keep 'em c[C2]oming these[D7sus4] lines on the ro[G]ad   [C/G]         [G]
And keep me re[C2]sponsible be it a [D7sus4]light or heavy l[Em]oad     [G]
And keep me gue[C2]ssing with these b[D7sus4]lessings in disgu[G]ise  [C/G]        [G]
And I'll walk with g[C2]race my feet and[D7sus4] faith my e[G]yes  [C/G]

Hometown weather is on TV
And I imagine the lives of the people living there
And I'm curious if they imagine me
Cause they just wanna leave; I wish that I could stay

But I get turned around
And I mistake my happiness for blessing
But I'm blessed as the poor
Still I judge success by how I'm dressing

So keep 'em co[C2]ming these[D7sus4] lines on the ro[G]ad  [C/G]        [G]
And keep me resp[C2]onsible be it a[D7sus4] light or heavy lo[Em]ad      [G]
And keep me gue[C2]ssing with these b[D7sus4]lessings in disgu[G]ise  [C/G]        [G]
And I'll walk with gr[C2]ace my feet and[D7sus4] faith my e[F2]yes  [C2]       [G]          [C/G]               [G]
La-la-la’s [F2]      [C2]           [D]

So I'll sing a song of my hometown
I'll breathe the air and walk the streets
Maybe find a place to sit and read
And the ants are welcome company

Repeat chorus

I'll walk with g[C2]race my feet and [D7sus4]faith my e[G]yes.[C/G]     [G]

5. Where I Began

Where I began                     Words and music by Aaron Tate

[G]The grass looked greener on the ot[D]her si[C]de [D]so I tri[C]ed to
[G]Snatch myself from yo[D]ur h[C]and  [D]      [C]
[G]Caught a boat to anywhere but N[D]inev[C]eh and, w[D]ell, you k[C]now, I
[G]Got spit back on d[D]ry l[C]and.[D]    [C]

Give me purity and give me continence
But oh no, not yet
Like a coin hiding in the corner trying not to be swept
I was trying not to be swept.

[D]Kicking against these goads s[C]ure did cut up my fe[G]et
[D]And didn't your hands get bloody as you wa[C]shed them clean.

[G]Here I [D]am again, b[C]ack where I began
[G]Try [D]as I may I can't g[C]et away from you
[G]And all [D]of these roads that l[C]ead me to roam, bring me back home.
[G]Here I [D]am again, [C]back where I b[G]egan.  [D]        [C]

So you have yourself your ninety nine
Isn't that enough for you
Still you followed me to the shadowed valley
Carried me on your shoulders too.

I've done the work of Sisyphus
Thinking that I could get over this hill
But the one thing I can't get over now...(is the)
Is the force of your will.

We[Bm] talked about[Bm] soccer a[F#]nd h[E7]ow every man's just the s[G]ame [Gsus4]         [G]
We m[D2]ade spec[D2]ula[C#]tion on the '[D2]who[B]'s and the [D2]'wh[A]en's of our f[Gno3]utures[D2]   [F#]       [Em9]            [A7Sus4]

Looking ar[G]ound [Gsus4]          [G]

But you know I know better I'm not gonna worry 'bout nothing
'Cause if the birds and the flowers survive then I'll make it okay
If given a chance and a rock see which one breaks a window
And see which one keeps me up all night and into the day

Because I'm so scared of being alone
That I forgot what house I live in
But it's not my job to wait by the phone
For her to call

Well this day's been crazy but everything's happened on schedule
From the rain and the cold to the drink that I spilled on my shirt
'Cause You knew how You'd save me before I fell dead in the garden
And You knew this day long before You made me out of dirt

And You know the plan You have for me
And You can't plan the ends and not plan the means
And so I suppose I just need some peace
To get me to sleep

[G]Oh,[D/F#] my so[G]ul, sometimes we d[C2]on't know what to[Dsus4] do    [D]
We work so h[Em]ard at being tou[D/F#]gh on our o[G]wn
But now it's[G/B] me and y[C2]ou
Let's give it [G]up, [D/F#]sad bo[G]nes
'Cause we all f[C2]all on hard t[Dsus4]imes    [D]
But you don't have to st[Em]and up [D/F#]all alon[G]e
Just put your h[G/B]and in mi[C2]ne

Climb on  [D]       [Dsus4]               [Em]

Climb[Am7] on a [G/B]back that's str[C2]ong       [G/B]               [Am7]

If you could save me a place in heaven
With a clean well lighted room
I'd muscle up to Armageddon
Wave to you darlin' be home soon
If you could show me the story of love
I would write it again and again
And then you could be the women you need
If you'd just let me be the man that I am

Repeat Chorus

Oh, I don't know
Sometimes we try to hard to see
But we've got one down and one more to go
That's when you say to me

Seems e[D]very[C]one I've l[C]oved [D]has
[D]Taken a [C]bit of my [C]insi[C2]des [G/B]       [D]
I'm sc[D]attered [C]as the w[C]oman whose bo[D]dy
Was t[D]orn for the tw[C]elve tribes   [C]       [C2]           [G/B]                [D]

[G]When did my heart get so pet[D]rified    [C]         [C]             [D]

[D]When did it g[D]et so hard  [C]       [C]            [D]

And the easy-living Gnostic proud
Use their knowledge
Like a wrecking ball to tear me down
Flooding me with their fallacies
I can't walk on this water
I'm starting to drown

Repeat chorus

[D]Strike this rock with your rod
I'll ta[C]ke the blows
[D]Till your living water beg[C]ins to flow

[Fmaj9]It's a muggy night in Houston [G]        [Gsus4]

But what have I to giv[G]e

Cause I k[C]now that it's getting late.[D]
And dep[G]ending on your answer [F]I might have to pack
And make a da[C]ring daylight escape [D]
Because it's e[C]ither high time to mak[D]e you mine

London's nice but it's the last place you wanna go
But there's no crime and you can catch a broadway show
Cause it's just so far and it's bound to get a hold on you
And I've got front page headlines pulled right outta yesterday's news

You can read all about it
About boy meets girl and then
screws the whole thing up
Just like always

It's no crime to love you
But my heart's still doing time
It's acting on it's best behavior

Out here the Texas sky is as big as the sea
And you're alone in your room like an island floating free
Your spirit's hanging in a bottle out on a tree
You say that you're the black sheep, I say you're still family

So throw that bottle to the waves
They'll bring you in to me and from the shore you will see

Repeat Chorus

Out here the Texas rain is the hardest I've ever seen
It'll wash your house away, but it'll also make you clean
Now these rocks they are crying too
And this whole land is calling out for you

Repeat Chorus
