We Dont Eat

[Intro] G C G

[Verse 1]

G               C                      G
if this is redEmption, why do i bother at all
G               C                      G
theres nothing to mention, and nothing has changed
C               C              C              Em
still id rather be working at something, than praying for the rain
C               C              G
so i wander on, till someone else is saved

G               C              G
i moved to the coast, under a mountain
G               C              G
swam in the ocean, slept on my own
C               C              C              Em
at dawn i would watch the sun, cut ribbons through the bay
C               C              Em
id rEmEmber all, the things my mother wrote

[Chorus]

Em              C              G
that we dont eat until your fathers at the table
Em              C              G
we dont drink until the devils turned to dust
C               D                      Em
never once has any man ive met been able to love
C               C              G
so if i were you, id have a little trust

[Verse 2]

G               C                      G
two thousand years, ive been in that water
G               C              G
two thousand years, sunk like a stone
C               C                  Em
desperately reaching for nets that the fishermen have thrown

C               C              G
trying to find, a little bit of hope

G               C              G
me i was holding, all of my secrets soft and hid
G               C              G
pages were folded, then there was nothing at all
C               C              Em
so if in the future i might, need myself a saviour
C               C                      G
i'll remember what was, written on that wall

[Chorus]

Em              C              G
that we dont eat until your fathers at the table
Em              C              G
we dont drink until the devils turned to dust
C               D                      Em
never once has any man ive met been able to love
C               C              G
so if i were you, id have a little trust

[Bridge]

C                       D
am i an honest man and true
D                       Em
have i been good to you at all
Em                              C
oh im so tired of playing these games

C
wed just be running down
D                                       D
the same old lines, the same old stories of
C                                       D
breathless trains and, worn down glories
C                                       D
houses burning, worlds that turn on their own

[Chorus]

Em              C              G
that we dont eat until your fathers at the table
Em              C              G
we dont drink until the devils turned to dust

C               D                      Em
never once has any man ive met been able to love
C               C
so if i were you my friend
C               C              G
learn to have just a, little bit of trust.
