INTRO: D  C  G  D  C  Bm  Em   G

                               D
This news won't break my heart
                              Em
It's already been blown apart
                            Bm
I feel like a helpless girl
               D
In this tender troubled world


 G
Another bomb lights up the night
    D
For someone's vision of paradise
         Em
But it's just a wasted sacrifice
     Bm                    D
That fuels the hate on the other side


PD-C HORUS:
C          G              D
All in the name of a holy land
C      G    D                   G
All to claim a line in the sand


CHORUS:

Oh, but the promised land
   C                   D                G
Is just across another line in the sand

Yeah, the promised land
   C                   D           Em    D G
Is just across another line in the sand



Just like at Calvary
D
Soldiers do the bidding of their king
    Em
And dreams are lost, one at a time
Bm                D
Blown across both sides of the line


    G
You can't kill a giant with just one stone
    D
You can't erase the story of a family's home
  Em
A hate-filled heart still beats alone
Bm                      D
Walking wounded on that endless road


PD-C HORUS:
            C       G                D      C
And there's so much blood on all our hands
           G          D                  G
It cuts an even deeper line in the sand


CHORUS:

Oh, but the promised land
   C                   D                G
Is just across another line in the sand

Yeah, the promised land
   C                   D           Em    D 
Is just across another line in the sand


PD-C HORUS:
                   C         G                
I hope a forgiving rain will fall sometime
    D     C        D  
And wash away that line

CHORUS:

Oh, but the promised land

Is just across another line in the sand

Yeah, the promised land
   C                   D                 G
Is just across another line in the sand


CHORUS:

Oh, but the promised land
   C                   D                 G
Is just across another line in the sand

Yeah, the promised land
   C                   D           C    G
Is just across another line in the sand
