# Your Saving Grace #

written by Tim Davis
Intro: D
G
Winter's people watching
D
As I sail from season's four
G
To join some crazy ladies
D
In a game upon the shore
G
None of them with broken wings
D
But still refuse to fly
C
So with sweetness on my lips
D C G D
I smile a last good-bye good-bye
G
And now I spend my life
D
On the velvet side of hell
G
Aimlessly here searching
D
For what I cannot tell
G
The quietness is terrible
D
It's more than I can stand
C
But thousands now stand cheering
D C G D
As my blood flows in the sand in the sa-and
key solo over verses
then you come out of "D" and change into "Bb":
Spoken (some drums, keys and vocals):
You're not the child
You thought you were
You wake up in the night
And know you're blind
And yet they keep on pushing
Trying the insides of your mind
Forever, forever arresting to control
Until the emptiness of heaven welcomes your weary soul
G
Rise up with the new
D
dawn's early morning
G
Feel the sunshine
D
warm upon your face
G
Tomorrow's come a long, long
D
way to help you
C D C G D
Yes, it's your saving grace saving grace
D E G D
Hey, baby, been the same now, your saving grace
D E
Every day, every way
G D
Tomorrow, it's your savin' grace
D
Well, now got no time to worry
E
Cause I've got no time to hurry
G D
Baby, it's your savin' grace
D
Now don't you lay those blames on me
E
Don't you play those games on me
G D
Cause baby it's your savin' grace
D E
You got to need a little lovin'
G D
Now baby it's your savin' grace
D E
Hey, I feel alright
G
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
D _
Your savin' grace |
Ahh, hey, hey, hey |
Your savin' grace |--keep the pattern of D-E-G-D and fade out
La la la la la la... |
Oh baby, it's your savin' grace _|
-fade out-
