Living Proof

D | D

Well now on a summer night in a 
G
dusky room
                          D
Come a little piece of the Lord's 
undying light
             A                G
Crying like he swallowed the fiery 
moon
      D                          
Yeah, in his mother's arms it was 
         G
all the beauty I could take
                     D        
Like the missing words to some 
              A
prayer that I could never make
         G                         
Oh, in a world so hard and dirty so
     D
 fouled and confused
             G                     
Searching for a little bit of God's
      A
 mercy
         G          | G | D | D | G
I found living proof
 | G | D


I put my heart and soul I put 'em 
G
high upon a shelf
      D                     A     
Right next to the faith the faith 
            G
I'd lost in myself
      D
I went down into the desert city
      G
Just tryin' so hard to shed my skin
   D
I crawled deep into some kind of 
darkness
                    A
Lookin' to burn out every, every 
trace of who I'd been
                G
You do some sad sad things baby
           D
When it's you you're tryin' to lose

            G                     A
You do some sad and hurtful things
           G          | G | D | D | 
I've seen living proof
G | G | D


          A
You shot through my anger and rage
               Em               
To show me my prison was just an 
          A
open cage

There were no keys no guards
     G                             
Just one frightened man and some 
  A              D
old shadows for bars

                        D
Well now all that's sure on the 
boulevard
             G
Is that life is just a house of 
cards
    D
As fragile as each and every breath
            A
Of this boy sleepin' in our bed
              D
Tonight let's lie beneath the eaves
             G
Just a close band of happy thieves
                  D
And when that train comes we'll get 
on board
                   A
And steal what we can from the 
treasures, treasures of the Lord
             G
It's been a long long drought baby
                   D
Tonight the rain's pourin' down on 
our roof, Lord
 G                               
Looking for a little bit of God's 
  A
mercy
         G
I found living proof
      D
Oh, living proof
          G
I found living proof
        D
Yeah, living proof
          G
I found living proof
            D
Oh, found living proof
          G
I found living proof
            D
Oh, found living proof
                G
Yeah, I found living proof
          D
I found living proof
          G
I found living proof
     D  | D | G | G | (fade out)
Oh, now
