Sinner Neil Finn
(Neil Finn/Marius deVries)
NOTES: At first this doesn't seem like a very likely acoustic
guitar song, but if you can get two guitarists -- one playing
the rhythm chords, and one playing the little riff, you can do
a really nice version.

INTRO: Gm C
[Gm]See it[C] anyone, got[Gm] my eyes got [C]my face
[Gm]sing it eve[C]ryone, got my [Gm]nose got my [C]blood
VERSE:
[Gm]conscience plays[C] upon on me now[Gm] [C]
[Gm]safe until my [C]luck runs out[Gm] [C]
[Gm]cuckoos call[C] pendulum swings
[Gm]thought you knew[C] everything

VERSE:
These things I should keep to myself
but I feel somehow strangely compelled
under moonlight I stood wild and naked
I felt no shame, just my spirit awaken
[Gm]Sinner
Seeing everything, got my eyes got my face
VERSE:
Fireball drop from the sky
all my dreams have come to pass
where's my faith, is it lost
I can't see it til I cast it off
CHORUS:
Sinner there is no such thing
beginner I have learned to sing
forever I must walk this earth
like some forgotten soldier
VERSE:
Today I am still disconnected
to the face that I saw in the clouds
and the closest I get to contentment
is when all of the barriers come down
(Sinner)
these things I should keep to myself
but I feel somehow strangely compelled
and the closest I get to contentment
is when all of the barriers come down
