INTRO Em
[Em]Moses up on the mountainside
[D]What a place to meet
[Em]He brought his pad and his pencil
Poured him[D]self some gypsum tea
[Am]All the world's multiplici[D]ty
Turned his [G]brain and his soul to [Em]stone
[F]He drew his face on a [Am]tablet
[F]And carried it back home[G]
[Em]Jesus off in the water
[D]Standing on his feet
[Em]Yeah, that's the thing about charisma
It makes [D]everyone believe
[Am]That there is nothing im[D]possible
When I'm with [G]you and when you're with [Em]me
[F]I got a sad sinking [Am]feeling
[F]That that can never be[G]
[Am]But I'm going to do what I [D]can for you
[G]I will make a plea
[Am]To all the lights in the [D]windows
[Em]The puddles in the streets
[C]And all the lovers that [D]you've been teasing
[G] [C]
May they [Am]carry you [D]far from my memory[G]
[Em]Solomon heard a protest
[D]
[Em]Reached in his ear for a silver dollar
[D]Just like he'd done before
[Am]He tossed it high said that [D]wisdom's fickle
And [G]chance is God's re[Em]tort
[F]And handed down the sentence[Am]
It was [F]death by Trojan horse[G]
[Em]Pharaoh woke from a bad dream
Splashed some [D]water on his face
[Em]When it's a matter of nightmares you had
[D]Better ask a slave
[Am]And he may tell you a [D]famine's coming
[G]Or he may look away[Em]
[F]If he's kind then re[Am]turn it
[F]Let him lick your plate[G]
[Am]But I'm going to do what I [D]can for you
[G]I will make a plea
[Am]To all the birds in the [D]chimneys
[Em]The whales up on the beach
[C]And all the footsteps that [D]you've been hearing
[G]Like a timpa[C]ni
May they [Am]carry you [D]far from your enemies[G]
BRIDGE Em, D, Em, D
[Am]But I'm going to do what I [D]can for you
[G]I will make a plea
[Am]To all the lights in the [D]windows
[Em]The puddles in the streets
[C]And all the hours that [D]you've been sitting
[G]At your vani[C]ty
May they [Am]carry you [D]far from your misery[Em]
May they [Am]carry you [D]far
[Em]Jesus off in the water
[D]Standing on his feet
[Em]Yeah, that's the thing about charisma
It makes [D]everyone believe
[Am]That there is nothing im[D]possible
When I'm with [G]you and when you're with [Em]me
[F]I got a sad sinking [Am]feeling
[F]I got a sad sinking [Am]feeling
[F]I got a sad sinking [Am]feeling that will never be[G]
OUTRO Em, D, Em, D (Repeat as necessary)
