Key:
D Gm C F Bb [Verse 1]
F Bb I stopped in the church to pray
D7 It was the middle of the day
Db And I don't even know if I believe
Bb in God
G F But I laid my soul on the table
Gm And left that place believing I was
C7 able
Bb F to pull back the curtain my old
Eb Cm F Bb fears had drawn [Verse 2]
F Bb I was out on the fourth of July
D7 when I saw those kids I just had to
Eb cry The whole town was blazing in the
Bb summers heat
Continues after the ad
F But out in front of a row of run down shacks
Gm C7 they had that fire hydrant uncapped
Bb F Baptizing their bodies right
Eb Cm Bb there in the street [Chorus]
Gm Bb Eb There's a tree outside my window
Bb Gm It sings when wind blows
Bb I have got water and fire I know
Cm sorrow
Eb I feel desire
Bb F And could it be that the kingdom
Eb Cm F Bb has already come [Verse 3]
F Bb We all see good and bad in
D7 Eb everything that we have But life is waiting just behind that
Bb veil
F if this will be loved and that will be hated
Gm The soul is left to struggle
C segregated
Bb F Trapped in the harbor too weighted
Eb Cm Bb down to sail [Chorus]
Gm Bb There's a tree outside my window
Db Bb It sings when wind blows
Gm Bb I've got water and fire
Cm Eb I know sorrow I feel desire
Bb F Could it be that the kingdom has
Gm C7 already come
Bb F Could it be that the kingdom has
Bb Eb Bb already come
