No, that [Bm] fan is moving in.
[F#m]
I [A] could see it in your hair.

I [B] can't [G] bear to breathe it [Bm] in somehow.
I'll rise [Em] and fall with you.
[G] Because you can't [D] fail me now.
I'll [Em] rise and fall [B] with you.
[G] You can't [D] fail me now.
Salt is [Bm] sweet upon my mouth.
[F#m]
Dark throws [A] sparks against my [Em] house.
The stain of love [G] is a smudge [F#m] on my [Bm] brow.
[Em] But you see through me.
[G] You can't fail [D] me now.
When [Em] you see right through [G] me, you can't fail [D] me now.
A bit off more than [Bm] I can chew.
[F#m] It's something that [A] I tend to do.

[G]
lost the thread [A] among the [D] vines.
And haunt myself [Bm] in your glory lines.
I [G]
tell the tale I never would [D] allow.
[G] God knows the [A] name of every [D] word.
That spills my [Bm] vines like every [Em] word.
But you know all my secret [A] heart avows.
[D] We talk to love [Bm] the worst of us.
[F#m]
And mercy [A] more than life.
But [Em] trust me, mercy's just a [G] warning shot across [Bm] the bow.
[Em]
I live for [G] yours.
And you can't fail [D] me now.
I [Em] live for your mercy.
[G]
[D] [F#m] But you can't [Bm] fail me now.
[A]
[G] Can't fail, [D] can't fail.
Joe Henry's song.
That's a great one.
