O Theo

	  		


C         Cadd4      C 
Under the silence of water, 
C      Cadd4       C 
Into a sky full of birds 
C            Cadd4       C 
Out from the land of our fathers, 
     Am              F 
I am falling on your words, 
C 
Oh... 

C           Cadd4      C 
Dark as the night of a preacher, 
C        Cadd4      C 
I made a bed out of hay 
C              Cadd4      C 
They paid me a handful of money, 
  Am          F 
I gave it all away... 
C 
All away... 

        F                      Am 
And the righteous raised their stones 
        F               Am 
And the devil threw his arrow 
         F             Am 
That was longing for a home 
     Dm         F 
With nowhere to go, 
C 
Oh, Theo... 

C           Cadd4       C 
In the half-life of the city, 
C            Cadd4      C 
She took off all of her clothes 
C               Cadd4         C 
I flew from the height of the mountains 
       Am            F 
Into a valley of dry bones 
C 
All alone 

        F               Am 
Then my heart was still unknown 
      F                 Am 
I was drunk and full of sorrows 
      F             Am 
I was longing for a home 
     Dm         F 
With nowhere to go, 
C 
Oh, Theo... 

C         Cadd4    C 
So, I set fires of starlight, 
C          Cadd4       C 
To burn up against the despair 
C                   Cadd4      C 
I was caught in the tangles of midnight's 
Am               F 
Long, unanswered prayer: 
C 
'Are you there?' 

        F                Am 
And the light of morning grows 
     F               Am 
On a field of fallen sparrows 
      F             Am 
I was longing for a home 
     Dm         F 
With nowhere to go, 
C 
Oh, Theo...
