G G D G C G D G [Verse 1] G So, stand in line and state your name, D7 The first one's sacred, the rest profane, G C Speak and make lightning and then confess, G D7 G Her children rise up and call her blessed. [Verse 2] G Shards of bone scattered cross the clearing, D7 The fears she had were well worth fearing, G C I'm pacing and worrying all night and day, G D7 G Neither you nor your momma do a single thing I say. [Chorus 1] G Speak and make lightning and it will pass, D Speak and make lightning and I will stand fast, G C On an icy road north of Edmonton, G D G Speak and make lightning friend, and it will come. [Verse 3] G I wanna kiss your cheek, I wanna hold you tight, D7 But you took your pills and you're out tonight, G C Speak and make lightning, forget the rest, G D7 G And enter the fields of the fatherless. [Verse 4] G I lost almost everything, so I'm almost free, D7 I was trying to tell you, you wouldn't listen to me, G C I'm driving up the hill to a place others call my home, G D7 G Hu, it's just where I go. [Chorus 2] G Speak and make lightning and it will pass, D Speak and make lightning and I will stand fast, G C Tell me how bad you really want it, son, G D G Speak and make lightning and it will come. [Instrumental] G D G C G D G [Verse 5] G If you can't stand me, you'll hate my replacement, D7 All my heroes are late with their payments, G C Speak and make lightning, remember my face, G D7 G And spoil not my resting place. [Verse 6] G Line to the horizon, first man to last, D7 On a warm autumn day I lay in the grass, G C The house is quiet, a silent wind, G D7 G Love covers all sins. [Chorus 3] G Speak and make lightning and it will pass, D Speak and make lightning and I will stand fast, G C In the attic there's an old Gatling gun, G D G Speak and make lightning friend, and it will come.
