Blind Man Deaf Boy

Intro: 
G# 

 
C#m                  G# 
    The roof caved in 
                 C#m 
And the walls crumbled 
             B       E 
And there I stood exposed 
              B        A 
Clutching my chest in fear 
        G#      G# 
How'd I end up here 
C#m              G# 
    Bad decisions 
           G# 
One right after the other 
 C#m                    B       E 
Moved like waves pulled by the moon 
                     B               A 
Like a puppet who's tugged on by a string 
            G# 
Like water tumbling downstream 
       E 
I was lost 
 

 
  E             E 
Blind man deaf boy 
                 B  A 
And the Lover of me 
      B                  E 
And where did it lead to 
    E                      E 
I fought for air as I was drowning 
                   B   A 
In that rushing stream 
              G# 
As the water poured over me 
 

 
C#m                            G# 
    Off the bridge I threw my heart 
          G# 
As if it didn't matter 
   C#m                B      E 
I walked the edge so fearlessly 
                   B       A 
Blindfolded by my lustful eyes 
               G# 
Deafened by a string of lies 
C#m                      G# 
    But You saw me there 
       G# 
In my same condition 
    C#m               B        E 
And Your eyes held me in Your stare 
                   B     A 
You gazed into my empty soul 
                      G# 
Spoke the words that burned a hole 
       E 
In my heart 
 

 
 E              E 
Blind man deaf boy 
             B  A 
Now see and hear 
                    B               E 
Did you think that I'd not find you 
           E                 E 
Don't you know that I'm the Lover of souls 
                  B  A 
And I came to be near 
                B 
From this very earth I made you 
 

 
 Bm                                G 
Some of us like sheep have gone astray 
                 D                E 
Some of us like fools live for today 
                              G         A 
And then it's gone and we're left with nothing 
    Bm                              G 
We fight to hold it all inside our hands 
             D                E 
Somehow we think we'll understand 
                      G                A 
What no eye has ever seen and no mind comprehended
