When all that's left to do
Is reflect on what's been done
This is where sadness breathes
The sadness of everyone

Just like when the guys
Built the dam at Otter Creek
And all the water backed up
Deep enough to dive

We took the dead man in sheets
To the river flanked by love
Deep enough to dive

Be here now

We took him there and three
In a stretcher made from trees
That had passed in the storm
Leave the hearse behind
To leave the curse behind

Be here now

Bridge:  | Em   G |


Selling The Drama
-----------------
(intro is a 1/2 step bend on second fret, 5th string [A])

G      D         G
And to love... a god
       D         Em
And to fear... a flame
       Bm7    C
And to burn a crowd that has a name


And to right or wrong
And to meek or strong
It is known just scream it from the wall


D
I've willed, I've walked, I've read
I've talked, I know, I know
I've been here before

Em  A               Em
Hey now we won't be raped
   A                Em
Hey now we won't be scarred like that
Em  A               Em
Hey now we won't be raped
   A                C
Hey now we won't be scarred like that...

It's the sun that burns
It's the wheel that turns
It's the way we sing that makes 'em dream

And to Christ... a cross
And to me... a chair
I will sit and earn the ransome from up here

I've willed...


Bridge:  | D  Em  Bm7  C |


I Alone

     G      D         C     Cmaj7
It's easier not to be wise
Measure these things by your brains
I sank into Eden with you
Alone in the church by and by
I'll read to you love save your eyes
You'll need them your boat is at sea
Your anchor is up, you've been swept away
And the greatest of teachers won't hesitate
