Bad Blood Chords

(ver. 1)
Sleeping At Last
C   Em         D       G
You fixed your eyes on us
    Am         Em
Your flesh and blood
 Am            Em         D        C
A sculpture of water and unsettled dust
             Em     D      G
And there was bad blood in us

  Em
We learned our lesson
 Am              Em      D         G
Genesis to the last generation
   Em        D          G
So we wrestle with it all
    Am         Em
The concept of grace
    Am         Em
The faithful concrete 
      D          C
As it breaks our fall
    Em           D        G
Our questions are all the same
 Am           Em
A den of cold words
 Am                 Em
How they feel brand new
        D              C
Against different time frames
 Am           Em
A den of cold words 
        D              C
Against different time frames


   Em      C      G
We know it all by heart
    Am       Em
The whole is greater
        D           C
Than the sum of its parts
  Em     C      G
We heard it all before
    Am           Em
And beauty there echoes
    D            C
The speck of our souls
    Am           Em
And beauty there echoes
    D            C
The speck of our souls


    Em        D       G
Like firewood burning bright
       Am      Em
In the dead of winter
   Am        Em          D             C
Now only the flicker can cling to this life
   Em          D    G
So we heard it over mass
   Am        Em
Is a faith a prediction
Am       Em        D        C
Wear our tradition until we collapse
Am        Em          D          C
And argue our bearings until we collapse


   Am        D     G
We study our story arcs

 Am        Em
Inherently good
Am         Em     D              C
Or were we broken right from the start?
    Em       D      G
Our hesitant fingerprints
Am          Em
Trace every mountain
Am         Em
Lace every valley 
D           C
Until we?re convinced


   Em      C      G
We know it all by heart
      Am       Em
Every blade of grass
D         C
Bears our mark
     Em      C       G
And the name will be engraved
        Am           Em
Oh it?s just another word
    D     C
For being afraid


   Em      C      G
We know it all by heart
     Am              Em
The whole is so much greater 
         D          C
Than the sum of its parts
   Em        C     G
We heard the truth before
    Am           Em
And beauty there echoes
    D            C
The speck of our souls
    Am           Em
And beauty there echoes
    D            C
The speck of our souls
    Am           Em
And beauty there echoes
    D     Am     Em       C
The speck of our souls
