C Am Em x4

Verse I

When the call hasn’t come,
Let me sit with you and wait.
When the other kind does,
Let me help you bear the weight.
Let me gather wood, when the fires gone out.
Let me pray for you, when you’re filled with doubt.
Hold your white knuckled hands, when our daughter’s out too late.

Chorus
Let me be the one, that’s walking with you through the night.
When the morning comes, with it’s [Em11/A]brash and blinding light.
Let me be the one, that’s crawling with you through the thorns.
Back to [Em11/A]back, we both were born to share this fight.

Verse II

When you haven’t got no sleep,
Let me fix you a cup of Joe.
Let me soak your shirt in tears,
When the tumour starts to grow.
Let me rub your back when the children whine.
Let me push your cart through the five and dime.
Help you hobble down the hall with your IV line in tow.

Chorus
Let me be the one, that’s walking with you through the night.
When the morning comes, with it’s [Em11/A]brash and blinding light.
Let me be the one, that’s crawling with you through the thorns.
Back to [Em11/A]back, we both were born to share this fight.

Bridge

[Em11/A]There’s no [G6/D]one I’d rather walk with,
[Em11/A]Through the [G6/D]brier or the flame.
[Em11/A]Let me hol[G6/D]d you in the darkness,
[Em11/A]In the [G6/D]fire, in the rain.

Chorus
Let me be the one, that’s walking with you through the night.
When the morning comes, with it’s [Em11/A]brash and blinding light.
Let me be the one, that’s crawling with you through the thorns.
Back to [Em11/A]back, we both were born to share this fight.
Back to [Em11/A]back, we both were born to share this fight
Back to [Em11/A]back, we both were born to share this fight

[Verse 1]
You work like every nail sunk
Every floorboard laid
Is another deed erased
Another debt that’s paid
Like every story you’ve erected’s gonna raise you up
So you keep slaving but it never seems to be enough

[Pre-Chorus]
And now you’re scared that it’s all gonna crash to the ground
So you tied a knot and started climbing your way down
When you find that you’ve come to the end of your rope
Take a look and see where you were putting all your hope

Cause you built these gallows you’ve been hanging from
You’ve been holding to a noose
So just let go, just let go
You built these gallows you’ve been hanging from
And you got nothing to lose
So just let go, just let go

[Verse 2]
I love the wood’s already rotting
Though you made it clean
You’ve hated every short cut
Concealed it’s crooked seam
But every flaw will be revealed
Each imperfection shown
Oh, I can hear the wind howl and the timber groan

[Pre-Chorus]

(x3)

Capo 6th

There’s a place I know
where the t[Fmaj9/A]rain goes slow
where the sinners can be washed
in the b[Fmaj9/A]lood of the lamb
there’s a ri[Fmaj9/A]ver by the trestle
down by Sinner’s Grove
do[Fmaj9/A]wn where the Willow and the Dogwood grows

(Chorus):
[Fmaj9/A]down there by the train
down there by the t[Fmaj9/A]rain
[Fmaj9/A]down there by the train
down there by the t[Fmaj9/A]rain
[Fmaj9/A]down there where the train
G C (hammer on/off D string)
goes slow

you can hear the whistle
you can [Fmaj9/A]hear the bell
from the halls of heaven
to the [Fmaj9/A]gates of hell
Fmaj9/A c
there’s room for the foresaken
if you’re there on time
you’ll be [Fmaj9/A]washed of all your sins
and all of your crimes

(Repeat Chorus)

there’s a golden moon
that shines [Fmaj9/A]up through the mist
I know that your name
will be [Fmaj9/A]on that list
There’s no [Fmaj9/A]eye for an eye
there’s no tooth for a tooth
I saw [Fmaj9/A]Judas Iscariot carrying John Wilkes Booth

(Repeat Chorus)

if you’ve lost all your hope
if you’ve [Fmaj9/A]lost all your faith
I know you will be cared for
I [Fmaj9/A]know you will be safe
[Fmaj9/A]all the shameful and all of the whores
[Fmaj9/A]even the soldier who pierced the side of the lord

is (Repeat Chorus)

well I’ve never asked forgiveness and
I’ve [Fmaj9/A]never said a prayer
I’ve never given of myself
I’ve [Fmaj9/A]never truly cared
[Fmaj9/A]I’ve hurt the ones who loved me
I’m still raising cain
[Fmaj9/A]I’ve taken the low road and
if you’ve done the same

Meet me (Repeat Chorus)(Go nuts with this last chorus and end on C)
