Barely Listening


Em D Am G B I lie awake on this phone call, she's dreaming of better days Em D Am G B Flowers lie on the counter, remind her of better days She sends a prayer up to Jesus And she asks him for his strength And the night will go on bleeding Was it faith that paid the rent? Em And I know you’re barely listening D I know you’re barely listening Am I know you’re barely listening G B Now I know you’re…. I know you’re barely listening I know you’re barely listening I know you’re barely listening Now I know you’re…. Standing here in a doorway with a candle and a gun The light tears through open windows For now the day has won [Repeat chorus] E D Like a child on her way here A E You just smile and run the other way E D And faith won’t find you a reason A E It just smiles and runs the other way A E And It just smiles…. G D It just smiles and runs the other way It just smiles…. It just smiles and then runs the other way (scat singing) It’s not worth waiting [Repeat chorus] you can't shape love with a hammer, and you can't shape love with a will, what horror lies in knowing there's no faith that chaos can't kill
