Dead Horse

F# B


[Verse 1]
F#                      A#m
Here is my harvest of heartbreak
G#m             B       F#
Here is my threshing of tears
F#                      A#m
I’d give you my dream but I lost it
G#m             B       F#
Down in the locust years


[Chorus 1]
B                 A#m                G#m
Still praise is the song that I’m singing
E                                     B
Even though sorrow’s my tune
F#                      A#m
Oh my love is only a whisper now
G#m             B       F#
But nothing is wasted with you



[Verse 2]
F#                      A#m
Here is my secret miscarriage
G#m             B       F#
Here is my public divorce
F#                      A#m
Nobody taught me to let go
G#m             B       F#
So I learned how to beat a dead horse


[Chorus 2]
B                 A#m                G#m
Now all of my altars are empty
E                                     B
Except for this lone hallelu
F#                      A#m
The heat of your fire is just a memory
G#m             B       F#
But nothing is wasted with you

[Bridge]
B                                         F#
Hungry as a mother who cannot find her child
B                                         F#
We keep missing each other I’m in the liquor aisle
B                                         F#
Prostrated in your glory I’m bowed low under this
B                                        A#m        G#m           E              B
Either nothing is wasted or everything is.


[Interlude]
F#   B

[Verse 3]
F#                      A#m
Here in the holy of holies
G#m             B       F#
Here by the blood of the lamb
F#                      A#m
These words I have said all my life and believe
G#m             B       F#
But still I do not understand


[Chorus 3]
B                 A#m                G#m
Lord I want to live in your presence
E                                     B
However inopportune
F#                      A#m
The heat of your fires just a memory now
G#m             B       F#
But nothing is wasted with you
F#                      A#m
Oh my love is only a whisper now
G#m             B       F#
But nothing is wasted with you
