[Verse 1]
Em         D               C/G            G     C/G             G         D/F#
Oh Brother Thomas, did you walk away from Jesus wondering if it was all a dream?
Em           D                     C/G                G              C/G            D/F#   G
Did all your doubts creep back and tell you that your fingers hadn't ever touched a single thing?
Em                      D             C/G             G                  C/G          G         D/F#
Cause I have read that story so many times where you healed that man and he could see perfectly again
Em                 D                C/G             G                 C/G                D/F#    G
But in between it reads that all he saw were men as trees, and that's all that seems to cloud my vision

[Chorus]
C/G                     G         C/G            G
Cause all the friends I know have never ever met you
C/G                 G               D
Does that mean that they deserve to die?
C/G                       G            C/G             G
But I heard once that you came here as love for all of us
           C/G                 D/F#       G
And not to pull the wood from out of our eyes

[Break]
Em  D  C/G  G  C/G  G     D
Em  D  C/G  G  C/G  D/F#  G

[Verse 2]
Em         D               C/G            G            C/G           G                D/F#
My mother, she was always working in the yard growing life from your sun and from her dirt
Em         D                            C/G             G             C/G    D/F#   G
So I would read those words but nothing ever seemed to grow except my lonely brother's hurt
Em      D                 C/G             G              C/G                G          D/F#
Oh holy preacher, did you ever think that maybe there was more to life than dying in a pew?
Em               D               C/G               G                  C/G                     D/F#        G
Isn't this whole world just hell enough for all of us, do you have to murder them for all the things they do

[Chorus]
C/G                   G           C/G        G                     C/G           G                  D
Cause all the friends I know have never ever heard you speak and I know when you speak it brings up life
C/G                 G                      C/G             G           C/G             Em       G
So would you, pretty please, come speak to all of them and me, growing us collectively into your wife

[Break]
Ohh...
Em  D  C/G  G  C/G  G     D
Em  D  C/G  G  C/G  D/F#  G

[Verse 3]
Em             D                  C/G          G             C/G        G                     D
Lead me to the mountain, write it out on those stone tablets what it is that you decide's the truth
Em                    D                   C/G              G           C/G             D/F#             G
But I think I want my hands to bleed from loving, not from condemning. Isn't love what he would have us do?

[Chorus]
C/G                G           C/G             G                C/G              G             D
All my friends and I, we have stolen, we have lied, and we have looked upon each other full of lust
C/G                  G             C/G               G           C/G                Em           G
But you carried your cross when it seemed that I was lost, so I know that you could carry all of us
C/G                  G             C/G               G        C/G                 Em           G
But you carried your cross when it knew that I was lost, so I hope that you could carry all of us
