Living Proof Chords by Bruce Springsteen

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ On _ _ _ _ a summer night, _ _ [G] oh, in her dusky room,
_ come a little [D] piece of the Lord's undying light, _
[A] crying like he swallowed the [G] fire in the moon
[D] in his mother's arms. _ _
[G] Lord, what beauty I could taste, _ like [D] a missing word
to some friend.
_ Well, [A] but I could never lay _ [G] on a world so hard to repay, _ _
[D] so I went confused, _ _
[G] searching for a new place of God's mercy.
[A] _ I [G] found a living room
_ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ where I put my heart and soul in,
_ I put [G] them cards on a shelf _ _ _
[D] right next to that faith, _ _ _ _
[A] faith that I had lost in [G] myself.
Born [D] a child in a dead city,
_ _ dead as a [G] child, so hard to shed my skin.
I [D] crawled deep into some kind of darkness,
looking to burn out [A] every, every trace.
Oh, who I've been, you've [G] been my sad, sad thing, baby.
Oh, [D] until you're trying to lose
_ _ this [G] sad and hurtful [A] face,
I [G] see you in the room. _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ You [A] shot through my anger and rage,
showing [Em] me my prison was just an old, old, old cage. _
[A] _ Never no keys, no bars,
oh, [G] just one bright man in some old [A] shadow's little _
[D] _ bar. _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ Running all [D] the show on the boulevard,
_ is it [G] right that it's just a house of cards? _ _ _
[D] Spread your legs, each hand hold breath,
_ this [A] [E] boy is sleeping in our [G] bed. _
[D] Tonight let's fly beneath the heat of faith,
this is [G] the close span of happy things.
And when the [D] trade comes, we'll get on board,
_ we'll steal [A] what we can from the treasures,
treasures of the Lord.
[G] But the Lord don't cry, baby,
tonight [D] the rain's pouring down on my room. _ _
[G] Oh, I'm looking for the very [A] God's mercy,
I [G] find you in the room. _ _ _
[D] Oh, little girl, _ _ I [G] find you in the room. _ _ _ _
[D] Yeah, little girl, _ _ I [G] find you in the room.
_ _ _ [D] _
Oh, little girl, _ _ _ _ [G] I find you in the room. _ _ _
[D] Oh, little girl, _ _ _ yeah, I [G] find you in the room.
_ _ _ [D] _
I find you in the room. _ _ _ _
[G] I find you in the room. _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I find you in the room. _ _ _ _ _
