Living Proof  (from the album "Lucky Town")

INTRO:   D

Well now on a summer night in a 
dusky room
D                          G

Come a little piece of the Lord's 
undying light
                           D

Crying like he swallowed the fiery 
moon
A                            G

In his mother's arms it was all the 
beauty I could take
D                                 

  G

Like the missing words to some 
prayer that I could never make
                 D                 

        A

In a world so hard and dirty so 
fouled and confused
     G                          D

Searching for a little bit of God's 
mercy
G                                  A

I found living proof
  G                   D  G  D

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


You shot through my anger and rage
    A

To show me my prison was just an 
open cage
   Em

There were no keys no guards
A

Just one frightened man and some old
 shadows for bars
     G                             

  A              D   G   D

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

                     G
