Offering

 
D         F             C 
  Holy life that you liken 
       Gsus2                D 
to no-thing bursts at the seams 
D           F            C 
  All the while stem the tide, 
        Gsus2              D 
I have seen it in my dreams 
D           F            C 
   Here a fount in the desert, 
        Gsus2              D 
it was more than I could be 
D           F            C 
     Human life as a lesson, 
        Gm 
you will see the mess of me 
Gm 


D  F            C 
     Hear it there, 
         Gm              D 
feel it swarming underneath 
D              F              C 
      Oh, when love came for me, 
      Gm               D 
the blue and salton sea 
D                F              C 
     A thousand lives lived in circles, 
          Gm                D 
a planet burning at the seams 
D               F         C            Gm 
      Skeletal sand as a lesson that became an offering 
Gm 


 
D         F             C 
   River nigh, river light, 
         Gm                D 
sent us burning out to sea 
D         F               C 
    Holy love, if you let it, 
        Gm          D 
never wanted it to be 
D          F          C 
   You and I, you, a lesson, 
          Gm             D 
but never offered it to me 
D         F          C 
    Human life gone wild, 
          Gm 
it was not enough for me 


D         F          C 
   You and I, you and I 
        Gm 
won't grow 
D          F          C 
   You and I, in our wild, 
        Gsus2 
won't listen 
D         F           C           Gsus2 
  It was rife, it was rife with unholy offerings 
D         F           C           Gm              D 
  It was rife, it was rife with the flowers of deceit
