Am7
All dark effects I'd long withstood,
               C
Upon my room advanced,
                           G
The moving shade of Birnam Wood,
                    Am7
Disguised by broken branch.

[Verse 2]
Am7
I struck firm the hollow of your thigh,
                      C                                G
Withheld my name, yet from determined hold I could not fly;
                           C
Though every tendon came undone.

Would you take a bound-up Isaac's place?
                              G
Are you a God, and shall your grace,
                   Am/C
Grow weary of your saints?",
                                Em
Or prefer the father's dreadful fate?,
                              G
Are you a God, and shall your grace,
                   Am/C
Grow weary of your saints?
              Em            G
(Though every tendon came undone),
                                 Am
(Safe in the arms of the kingdom come).

[Verse 3]
Am7
Floodwater filled your formless birth,
                  C
A column cloud descends,
                                                  G
'Your cause of sorrow must not be measured by his worth,
                    Am7
For then it hath no end',
Am7
Yet may my heart in tune be found,
Am7
In four-shape notes from underground,
    C
And can we not call it 'a nervous breakdown,'
G                          Am7
My nervous system breaking down?

Are you a God, and shall your grace,
                   Am/C
Grow weary of your saints?
                               Em
Steady is a knife held sure by faith,
                              G
Are you a God? And shall your grace,
                   Am/C
Grow weary of your saints?

Riding in a westbound railcar,
Em
They'll dump you in the Highgate Graveyard,
G                                          Am/C
They'll dump you in the Highgate Graveyard,
