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