[Intro]  Am  G  F
         Am  G  F

Dm
Left on my own don't know where
Gm6/D
I should begin to look it's
Dm
Involuntary instinct
Gm6/D
Controls my every footstep
Dm
Westward through haze The voice of
Gm6/D                  Dm
Shadows whispers in my ears
        Gm6/D           C
Alaskan forests to the sea

C                  Bb                   A7
Keeping all faith alive I fall into the rain
Let me go, let me go
                           G          F
Oh my soul drenched in the rain - the rain

E                          D/A
I light two candles in the window of my mind
E                               D/A
The wind that threatens I've no words left to describe
  A
Resisting the fates
     G                     D
When mercy comes to shelter me
E                     D/A
Over and over I am witness to the signs
E                         D/A
Evil's more focused as we near the end of times
A                          C
Praying so hard that your shelter comes to cover me

( Am  G  F )

Dm
What kind of world is this that
Gm6/D
It should come down to this oh
Dm
Each day the pressure building
Gm6/D
In Biblical proportion
Dm
I've seen extremes from love to war
Gm6/D                 Dm
They both are walking here
         Gm6/D        C
And echoing prophetic song

C                      Bb
Plagues and famine and hate
                  A7
All fall into the rain, let it go
                              G           F
The whole world floods in the rain - the rain

E                          D/A
We lose horizons they just vanish as we run
E                              D/A
Chess moves in silence glacial patience under gun
     A
The marching of time
      G                     D
When mercy comes to shelter me
E                                D/A
Fragments of truth are out there blowing in the wind
E                           D/A
I cry for loved ones and removal of the sting
   A
I just can't let go
      C
Your shelter comes to cover me

E                      D/A
In desperation we make moves and never know
E                      D/A
Their antidote is poison and my blood runs cold
A
Stoking the flames
     G                      D
When mercy comes to shelter me
E                             D/A
You want the truth but do you want insanity?
E                          D/A
Peering 'round corners paranoid calamity
A
Hold to what's real
      C
Your shelter comes to cover me

E                       D/A
Finally in death do you become as once in life
E                    D/A
Evil for evil do you pay the highest price
A
Just let it burn
      G                     D
When mercy comes to shelter me
E                                  D/A
My flesh and blood it's all that's left my heritage
E                             D/A
From life to death to dust so through the woods I search
    A
Complete disconnect
       C
Your shelter comes to cover me
