Faith my eyes                       Words and music by Derek Webb
Capo 1st fret

Intro  G    Gmaj7    C2    
         Em7    Em9   Am7  G/B  C2

     C2  G/B       Am7 C/G   D2/F#
As I survey the ground for ants
C2             G/B    D7sus4    G     C/G
Looking for a place to sit and read
         C2  G/B      Am7     C/G    D2/F#
I'm reminded of the streets of my hometown
            C2               G/B          D7sus4            G   C/G
How they're much like this concrete that's warm beneath my feet 

And how I'm all wrapped up in my mother's face
With a touch of my father just up around the eyes
And the sound of my brother's laugh
But more wrapped up in what binds our ever distant lives 

G     Gmaj7   C2
But if I must go
Em7       Em9            Am7  G/B   C2
Things I trust will be better off without me
    G        Gmaj7    C2
But I don't want to know
Em7     Em9    Am7  G/B    C2
Life is better off   a   mystery

             C2         D7sus4          G    C/G   G
So keep 'em coming these lines on the road
              C2                D7sus4          Em      G
And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load
               C2                D7sus4           G    C/G   G
And keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
                    C2              D7sus4     G    C/G
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes 

Hometown weather is on TV
And I imagine the lives of the people living there
And I'm curious if they imagine me
Cause they just wanna leave; I wish that I could stay 

But I get turned around
And I mistake my happiness for blessing
But I'm blessed as the poor
Still I judge success by how I'm dressing 

              C2        D7sus4          G   C/G   G
So keep 'em coming these lines on the road
                C2             D7sus4            Em      G
And keep me responsible be it a light or heavy load
               C2                D7sus4           G    C/G   G
And keep me guessing with these blessings in disguise
                     C2             D7sus4     F2   C2   G  C/G  G
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes 
           F2   C2   D
La-la-la�s

So I'll sing a song of my hometown
I'll breathe the air and walk the streets
Maybe find a place to sit and read
And the ants are welcome company 

Repeat chorus
                
                C2               D7sus4    G   C/G  G 
I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes.
                     C2             D7sus4     F2   C2  G  C/G  G
And I'll walk with grace my feet and faith my eyes...
