Steady Job

Intro: D 



D 
Making my way down a well worn track 
  A                  G          D 
I know enough now to never look back 
    D                                A 
I’m weary with worry, I’m heavy with doubt 
        Bm          A            G       D 
There’s nothing and no one gonna pull me out 

      D 
Spent so long blinded by the divine glare 
         A                            G        D 
When the stone rolled away we saw the tomb was bare 
   D                                A 
It burned every tie, every bond I’d made 
     Bm              A         G       D 
Only scars and white ashes and tears remained 



    G                            D 
The closer I work to the devil’s plan 
    G                               A 
The further I get from the promised land 
          G                                A 
I’m gonna keep my distance from the baying mob 
Bm          A           G      D 
Pulling the levers on a steady job

    D 
The news is lousy with blood and fear 
     A                      G        D 
It's dampened by a grieving mother’s tears 
    D                                 A 
The lure of salvation, the promise of peace 
              Bm         A            G      D 
The myth that if we work hard we will find release 



     G                             D 
So I keep on working on the mystery 
    G                                    A 
I'm pulling the thread, going where it leads 
G                                  A 
Looking for signals from an absent god 
    Bm          A           G      D 
And spinning my wheels in a steady job
