I've been the crawler of mountains, I've been a link in a chain, I've been a scolder for
stealing, I've been told to behave, [F] I've been [Cm] reading the forecast, [Fm] something's [C] coming this
way, but it's [G] taking forever, I'm too [Bm] tired to maintain that [C] I'm slow, I've been a scratch on
the surface, I've been a clog in the drain, I've been melodramatic, I've been sleepy for days, [F] I've
been a [C] one in a million, been a million to one, [F] this is [C] taking forever, [Am] always [Bm] seems to return [C] that I'm slow
[F] Law has absolute, [C] the empire stays,
[F] faith be true, you know [C] the way,
[D] ten miles tall in this
[Am] empty space, [F] fallen walls all around, destroyed [G] again, destroyed [C] again, I've been digging in China, I've been a fish in the sea, I've been talking to Jesus, but he's not talking
to me, [F] been reading the [G] forecast, [G] something's coming this way, [F] but it's [G] taking forever, it always seems to return [C] that I'm slow
[F] Law has absolute, [C] the empire stays,
[F] faith is true, she knows [C] the way,
[D] ten feet tall in this
[Am] empty space, [A] fallen [F] walls all around, rebuilt [Gm] again, rebuilt [C] again, I've been the crawl of a mountain, I've been linking a [G] chain, [C] I've been scolded for stealing, I've been caught in [G] a wave
[C]
