Mary Chapin Carpenter - The Calling Chords

[Intro] C G  C G  C G D x2

[Verse]
Em                       D            G
Deep in your blood or a voice in your head
C                     G           D
On a dark lonesome highway that finds you instead
Em                        D            G
So certain it knows you, you can't turn away
C             G             D
Something or someone has found you today

[Chorus]
C          G       C            G
Genius to Jesus, maybe He saved us
     C           G            D
But who would believe us, I can't really say
    C          G           C            G
Whatever the calling, the stumbling or falling
     C          G              D                              C
You follow it knowing there's no other way, there's no other way

[Verse]
Em                                 D          G
They're Zealots and preachers and readers of dreams
C                  G                 D
The righteous gel out of stand, the safe drives to sin
Em                            D          G
The lonely and lost are just waiting to hear
     C             G              D
Any moment their purpose will be perfectly clear

[Chorus]
          C              G                 C            G
And then life would mean more, than their name on their door
          C            G             D
And that far distant shore that's so near
C                G             C            G
They'd hear the calling, the stumbling and falling
         C          G              D                          C
They'd follow it knowing there's nothing to fear, nothing to fear

[Verse]
Em                              D            G
I don't remember a voice on a dark lonesome road
        C            G      D
When I started the journey so long ago
Em                        D           G
I was only just trying to outrun the noise
            C        G          D
There was never a question of having a choice

[Chorus]
C         G        C           G
Jesus to genius maybe they've seen me
     C          G             D
But who would believe me, I can't really say
     G         C             C            G
Whatever the calling, the stumbling and falling
     C          G              D
I followed it knowing there's no other way
C          G       C        G
Jesus to genius, maybe He seen me
     C           G           D
But who would believe me, I can't really say
     C        G            C             G
Whatever the calling, the stumbling and falling
    C              G             D                              C
I got through it knowing there's no other way, there's no other way
