Cm
I had big idea
Cm
I had a lazy eye
Cm
I broke the sacred seal
Cm Bb
I told a lazy lie
Cm
I've had my conscience bent
Bb
I've had my patience tried
Cm Bb
I've been up in the desert
Fm Gm Cm
And down by the riverside
Am
Will the eagle fly
Cm
If the sky's are true?
Cm
Do the faithful sigh
Cm Bb
Because they are so few?
Cm
Remember when I cried?
Bb
Remember when you knew?
Cm Bb Fm
Remember that look in your eyes?
Gm Cm
I know I do
[Chorus]
Bb Ab Bb
And count the stars to measure time
Ab Eb G
The earth is hard, the treasure fine
Cm Fm Ab Cm
To the sea I'll crawl on my knees
[Verse]
Cm
Feel it coming in
Bb Cm
Feel it going out
Bb Cm
Water covers sin
Bb Cm Bb
Blood covers doubt
Cm Bb
So I begin again
Cm Bb
Again, the healing bow
Cm Bb Fm
There was a time that I might have surrendered
Gm Cm
But not now
[Chorus]
Bb Ab Bb
Consult the cards to measure mine
Ab Eb G
The earth is hard, but the treasure fine
Cm Eb Fm Ab
To the sea, I'll crawl on my knees
Bb Ab Bb
And count the stars to measure time
Ab Eb G
The earth is hard, the treasure fine
Cm Fm Ab
At the sea I'll wait on my knees
Cm Fm Ab
At the sea I'll wait on my knees
Cm Eb Ab Cm
At the sea I'll wait on my knees
