Caedmon's Call - Faith My Eyes

      [Verse 1]
     C          Am         D/F#
As I survey the ground for ants
C             Am       D       G
Looking for a place to sit and read
      C             Am            D/F#
I'm reminded of the streets of my hometown
            C              Am              D               G
How they're much like this concrete that's warm beneath my feet

[Verse 2]
G                       C        Am       D/F#
And how I'm all wrapped up in my mother's face
       C           Am          D             G
With a touch of my father just up around the eyes
        C           Am        D/F#
And the sound of my brother's laugh
                 C          Am        D            G
But more wrapped up in what binds our ever distant lives

Pre Chorus 1:
G             C
But if I must go
Em                     Am     C       G
Things I trust will be better off without me
    G               C
But I don't want to know
Em             Am    C  G
Life is better off a mystery

[Chorus]
           C            D            G
So keep on coming these lines on the road
            C                    D             Em       G
And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load
            C                   D            G
And keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
                   C                 D        G
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes

[Verse 3]
         C           Am   D/F#
Hometown weather is  on   TV
        C         Am           D             G
And I imagine the lives of the people living there
        C          Am          D/F#
And I'm curious if they imagine me
      C               Am       D                 G
Cause they just wanna leave; I wish that I could stay

Pre Chorus 2:
G                C
But I get turned around
Em            Am      C            G
And I mistake my happiness for blessing
G                      C
But I'm blessed as the poor
Em               Am       C         G
Still I judge success by how I'm dressing

[Chorus]
           C            D            G
So keep on coming these lines on the road
            C                    D             Em       G
And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load
            C                   D            G
And keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
                   C                 D        G
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes

[Verse 4]
          C            Am     D/F#
So I'll sing a song of my hometown
      C          Am      D        G
I'll breathe the air and walk the streets
      C               Am      D/F#
Maybe find a place to sit and read
        C        Am      D  G
And the ants are welcome company

[Chorus]
           C            D            G
So keep on coming these lines on the road
            C                    D             Em       G
And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load
            C                   D            G
And keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
                   C                 D        G
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes

[Tag]
               C                 D        F  C G
I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my ey-y-yes
                   C                 D        G
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes
