Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

It took his breath away, holding the bank page

He got the letter, they're going to take the house away

About to have a daughter, he yells it in the air

Feeling the weight of the world that just don't care

He lit a cigarette, felt it on his lip

Driving home on a long road with regret

He rolls the window down, shouts it out loud

Pushing the pedal and praying "Lord, help us now"

He's looking for a reason watching the sun going down

Chorus

(strum chords twice each, until "all you see...")

Can you hear when we call, there when we fall?

Standing our backs against the wall

Top of our lungs, hallelujah

Where pain and love bleed into one

Baby when all you see is darkness

Coming down now

We all need forgiveness

Coming round now

(Oh, oh, oh oh...)

Coming down now

Verse 2

It was Monday night, under the street lights

She's turning seventeen in seven nights

Out on the fairgrounds, walking in monotone

She kicks a bottle that's empty as her soul

Out on the road alone, in a house that's half a home

They give her pills to kill when she feels alone

She's looking for a reason watching the sun going down

Chorus

(same pattern as before)

Can you hear when we call, there when we fall?

Standing our backs against the wall

Top of our lungs, hallelujah

Where pain and love bleed into one

Baby when all you see is darkness

Coming down now

We all need forgiveness

Bridge

Take these broken streets

Take these broken dreams

Hold my hand like we were walking free

Tell me it will change I see it in your face

The hope the fear the love the faith

Verse 3

I’m working late again slaving to make the rent

I’m slanging coffee with dreams heavy as cement

They’re coming one by one the face of falling love

I write a song with a prayer as I slide the cup

Chorus

Can you hear when we call, there when we fall?

Standing our backs against the wall

Top of our lungs, hallelujah

Where pain and love bleed into one

Baby when all you see is darkness

Coming down now

We all need forgiveness

Can you hear when we call, there when we fall?

Standing our backs against the wall

At the top of our lungs, how far we've come

Where pain and love bleed into one

All that we need is so bittersweet

The pain that opens our eyes to see

Baby when all you see is darkness

Coming down now

We all need forgiveness

Coming 'round now

Outro

(Oh, oh, oh oh...)

It's coming down now

(Oh, oh, oh oh...)

Coming down now

(Oh, oh, oh oh...)

It's coming down now
