D G D GD G D Dm [Verse 1]Dm I saw the desert windG Tear across the wildernessDm G I felt it blowing off the pageD My teacher told me, "sonG Always remember this"Dm G Dm G And I have always been afraidDm I read about the god of MosesG Roaring in the holy cloudDm G It shook my bedroom window panesD I did not understand thenG I do not understand nowDm G I don't expect you to explain [Chorus]F You've been a mystery since theA# F A# moment that I met youF A# You never move but I can neverF A# seem to catch youD G D The cornerstone [Verse 2]Dm You said to eat your fleshContinues after the adG Before you broke the bread and blessed itDm Before you poured the wine forG every manD This is a hard, hard teachingG Can any man accept it?Dm G Can any sage here understand?Dm You turned the tables overG There in your father's templeDm You cracked a whip and raised aG shoutD My daughter asked me whyG I said, "love is never simpleDm G It draws 'em in and drives 'em out." [Chorus]F A# I saw you there but it was tooF A# late to change my courseF A# And I collided with a beautifulF A# immovable forceD G D G The CornerstoneD G And so the stone that I rejectedD G It has become the cornerstoneD G And so the stone that I rejectedD G It has become the cornerstoneD G D G [Bridge]D All the maps were drawnD But the maps were wrongG The stars spin aroundG Another sunD All the maps were drawnD But the maps were wrongG The rivers are running fromG D The cornerstone [Chorus]F A# You looked me in the eye andF A# fixed me with a permanent stareF A# I met your gaze and saw theF A# forges of the firmament thereD The cornerstone [Other]Dm G And the floods come upDm G And the rains come downDm And the floods come upG And the rains come downDm And the floods come upG And the rains come downDm G Dm G
