  Dm               C               F
Thumbs out on a desert road I am told
          Am
Leads to nowhere
 Dm               C
Any shade is as good as the next
           F           Am
If your shadow doesn't go there
 Em                 F
Week seven: Did you really assume
     Am                        G
I'd find some solace from the letter in your room?
  Em                   F
Next life, could you kindly refain
       Am                       G
From throwing yourself at the mercy of a train?

[Chorus 1]
  Am         Dm        G
Silence all, nobody breathe
             C                   F
How in the world could you just leave?
                    A#
You promised you would
                        F
Silence that evil with good
 Am         Dm            G
Hear me out, I have the floor
                   C                  F
I'll give you my tears, I'll listen more
                   A#
You promised you would
 F                      Dm  C  F Am Dm C F Am Dm
Overcome evil with good

[Verse 2]
 Dm                     C                 F
Maybe this world is a barren place for a soul
              Am
Prone to get lost
 Dm                               C
But heaven still hounds from the smallest sounds
         F           Am
To the cries of the storm-tossed
  Em               F
Week nine: I am writing in the sand
 Am                         G
Any little clue that could help me understand
  Em                     F
Every whispered secret, every muffled sigh
  Am                       G
Every half-truth that was added to a lie

[Chorus 2]
 Am         Dm       G
Silence all, nobody move
                   C                    F
I've got to know now what you hoped to prove
                  A#
You promised you would
    F
Silence that evil with good
  Am             Dm              G
Shame feeds guilt, guilt needs release
                 C
You took it to God
                F
You made your peace
                     A#
And swore that you would
                    F
Overcome evil with good

Am  F  C F G Dm C Em Dm G

[Verse 3]
  Em               F
Every old demon playing back the crime
  Am                            G
If they needed blood, I'd have gladly given mine
  Em                    F
A Child of the Kingdom; still an invalid
   Am
Forgive her, please Father
      G
She don't know what she did

[Chorus 3]
 Am         Dm           G
Silence all, now go to sleep
              C                 F
The water's free, the well is deep
             A#
How can we return
                            F
That which we never could earn?
Am     Dm                G
God, I long to see her face
              C
We haven't a hope
              F
Beyond Your grace
                 A#
I know that You will
              F
Overcome evil
       Dm
For good
