Verse 1 (Just play the intro):
Sometimes I believe all the lies so I can do the things I despise
And everyday I am swayed by whatever is on my mind
I hear it all depends on my faith so I'm feeling precarious now
The only problem I have with these mysteries is they're so mysterious

Prechorus 1:
C#m     Bsus4                        E
    And like a consumer I've been thinking
                 A
If I could just get a bit more
C#m             Bsus4                 E
    More than my fifteen minutes of faith
         A         (A)
Then I'd be secure


Chorus:
     E             A             C#m      Bsus4   A
My faith is like shifting sand, swayed by every wave
     E             A                 C#m  Bsus4  A
My faith is like shifting sand, so I stand on grace


Verse 2 (just play the intro again):
I begged you for some proof for my Thomas eyes to see
A slitherous staff, a leprous hand, and lions resting lazily

Prechorus 2:
C#m                   Bsus4
    A glimpse of your backside in glory
        E                     A
and this soaked altar is going ablazed
C#m         Bsus4               E
    But you know I've seen so much
           A            (A)
And I explained it away


Bridge:
Bsus4                                 A
Waters rose as my doubt reigned, my sand castle faith slipped away
Bsus4                                  A                      (A)
Found myself standing on your grace, It's been there all the time


Tag:
A
I stand on grace


And that's all of it.  It's a really nice song.  Feel free to feedback.
Cheers,
Conde Monte Cristo
