Am                            G 
This is the way that you made it 
            Am               G          Am 
It's like a desert if you've laid it so bare 
Am                            G 
Walk if you can through this balance, 
            Am               G          Am 
lean on me if you will, if you dare. 
Am                      G 
Look to the sky I stand un der 
              Am            G         Am 
and I suppose you might say I've been blessed. 
Am                         G 
Breathe in the air that is burning your face, 
         Am             G          Am 
feel the wind that's so heavy with dust. 
 

 
D                        C 
This is the way that you wanted for me 
     D            C         Dm 
I'll abide by the rules you made 
D                            C 
I'll pray to the wind if you want 
C 
But you won't be my 
D           C    D 
home, oh my holy grail 
 

 
Am                          G 
Is  this not what you expected? 
            Am     G          Am 
All your labor for this consequence? 
Am                                G 
I know you still look for the garden 
               Am      G   Am 
and the place of  this in heritance 
Am                             G 
I know you can't reap what has never been sown 
            Am          G      Am 
Now forgive me  but I've got to leave 
Am                                       G 
It's strange that you're here to salvage this solo 
       Am             G            Am 
So you see that we've not come and gone 
 

 
D                        C 
Is this the way that you want it to be? 
          D              C     Dm 
Now I'll buy a bottle of booze tonight 
D                            C 
I'll call my name if you won't 
C 
But you must be my hope 
D      C    D 
for my holy night 
D           C    D 
I'll call my name 
 

 
I'll call my name

Am                          G 
This is the sound of my heartbeat 
  G      Am           G          Am 
And  the sound of the air that I breathe 
Am                              G 
Here is the mouth that I speak with 
        Am                  G      Am 
And the words that come so hard to me 
Am                         G 
These are the eyes that I look through 
               Am G                  Am 
And their colours are grey, blue and green 
Am                                G 
These are the thoughts left by my thimble green 
       Am             G     Am 
Like a brain to show what I have seen 
 

 
D                        C 
This is the way that you always told me 
       D             C          Dm 
Now I find what I'm supposed to make 
D                              C 
I'm pretty to the bone if you want 
C 
But you won't be my 
D           C    D 
hope, or my holy grail
