Deliver Me

Em D         G
Oh, deliver me


[Verse 1]
G                C
 I saw images of God
                       Em
Reflected out upon the deep
               D
By prehistoric stars
                     G
Through millennia of grief
               C
Spiritless and haunted
                    Em
Like some excarnate beast
                         D
Still I feel the ancient lights of heaven
                 G
Pressing down on me


[Chorus]
                  C           Em
And the day changes at Midnight
                     D
But you don’t know it
                      G
Until the morning light
               C             Em
And the footsteps of the midwife
                     D
Are already in motion

And in motion we sing
G              C
Whoah, deliver me
 Em         D      G
Oh, deliver me yeah
                           C
The sun is leaning on the darkness again

And we sing
Em D        G
Oh, deliver me


[Verse 2]
G
 We traded souls
         C
On the shoals of Babylon
                 Em
When they bought yours down to the floor
            D
Man, I was sure that mine was gone
G
Everything inside me
        C
Wanted somewhere to belong
Continues after the ad
              Em
But something deep inside my body screamed
     D
That all of this was wrong


[Chorus]
G                   C          Em
  And the day changes at Midnight
                      D
Still you don’t know it
                    G
Until the morning light
              C              Em
And the footsteps of the midwife
                     D
Are already in motion

And in motion we sing
G              C
Whoah, deliver me
 Em         D
Oh, deliver me
G              C
Whoah, deliver me
 Em         D
Oh, deliver me


[Bridge]
(don’t you know that)
G
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
C
All my grieving, All my believing
Em
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
D
All my feelings are up on the ceiling

G
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
C
All my grieving, All my believing
Em
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
D
All my feelings are up on the ceiling

G                           C
 The sun is leaning on the darkness again
And we sing
Em D        G
Oh, deliver me


[Verse 3]
G                         C
Every human creature is a galaxy of thought
          Em
You could spend your life on one
       D               G
And it wouldn’t be for not
       G
Do you look at many people
        C
But you see so very few
         Em
From the disenchanted distance
          D
It's what desperate people do
Yeah but…


[Bridge]
(don’t you know that)
G
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
C
All my grieving, All my believing
Em
All my feelings are up on the ceiling
D
All my feelings are up on the ceiling


[Chorus]
G               C             Em
 And the day changes at Midnight
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
(All my grieving, All my believing )
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
                     D
Still you don’t know it
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
                   G
For another six hours

              C               Em
And the footsteps of the midwife
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
(All my grieving, All my believing )
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
                    D
Are already in motion
(All my feelings are up on the ceiling)
And in motion we sing

G              C
Whoah, deliver me
 Em         D      G
Oh, deliver me, yeah
                           C
The sun is leaning on the darkness again
And we sing
Em D        G
Oh, deliver me
