A         C#        E        D   A  G
While Jesus is saving I'm spending all my days
   A               C#                  E     D    A G
in backgrounds and landscapes with the languages of saints
      A           C#           E       D  A      G
While people are spinning like toys on Christmas day
    A        C#                  E     D A  G
I'm inside a still life with the other absentee

      A        C#          E        D   A  G
While Jesus is saving, I'm spending all my days
       A           C#        E      D      A   G
in the garden-grey pallor of lines across your face
      A           C#            E    D  A      G
While people will cheer on the spectacle we've made
    A           C#        E     D    A  G
I'm sitting and sculpting menageries of saints

Oh, my man my absentee
E
I'd do anything to please you
F
Come my love the stage is waiting
E                            A
Be the one to save my saving grace

      A        C#         E        D   A  G
While Jesus is saving I'm spending all my grace
   A        C#        E         D  A   G
on rosy-red pallor of lights on center stage
      A           C#             E     D    A    G
While people have cheered on the awful mess we've made
        A            C#           E  D   A   G
through storms of red roses we've exited the stage
