[Verse 1]

D                D             Bm
  I could have painted your lines
              A             Em    Bm  G  D
I could have dined on your open mind
D                D              Bm
  I pulled the chaff from the wheat
     A                 Em       Bm  A  A
Got along when you're less discreet

[Chorus]

Em              Bm             D  A
  But I was still a silhouette, hey-y-y-y
Em           Bm               D  A
  And baby Moses on the steps, hey-y-y-y
G         D              A               Bm      F#
  I was praying for the word that you'd let me stay

[Verse 2]

D         D              Bm
  If you fall from the sun
             A             Em        Bm  G  D
Count your blessings and call me at once
D         D           Bm
  If you spit in my eyes
           A          Em       Bm  G  D
And you'd left me but one surprise

[Verse 3]

D               D              Bm
  I could have filled up a house
          A            Em         Bm       D          A
With the notes of an unlocked mouth, or notes of my mouth
D               D         Bm
  I could have taken a wife
              A              Em       Bm      A  A
I could have heard you had lost the fight, anyway

[Chorus]

Em              Bm             D  A
  But I was still a silhouette, hey-y-y-y
Em           Bm               D  A
  And baby Moses on the steps, hey-y-y-y
G         D              A               Bm      F#
  I was praying for the word that you'd let me stay

[Bridge]

C        C             G       D
  I'm at most of the bad timing
C         C            G       D
  I have cut off my hand and tried to dig in
C        C             G       D  Em  C  A
  I'm at most of the bad timing, ohhhhh, oh

[Verse 3]

D           D              Bm
  Sew your tears to my feet
          A              Em    Bm  D  A
Shake em hard when they fall asleep
D          D           Bm
  Tie a rope to my shoes
        A                 Em     Bm  A  A
Tell me that is what you had to do
             Em  D  A  G      G  A  D
It's what you had to do, anyway
