this version is simplified for beginners .

G C D Dsus
sometimes i believe all the lies
G C D Dsus
so i can do the things i should despise
G C D Dsus
and every day i Am swayed
G C D D2
by whatever is on my mind

G C D Dsus
i hear it all depends on my faith
G C D Dsus
so i’m feeling precarious
G C D Dsus
the only problem i have with these mysteries
G C D Dsus
is they’re so mysterious

Em D G
and like a consumer i’ve been thinking
C Em
if i could just get a bit more
D G
more than my fifteen minutes of faith ,
C2
then i’d be secure

[ chorus ]
G C
my faith is like shifting sand
Em D C2
changed by every wave
G C
my faith is like shifting sand
Em D C2
so i stand on grace

[ transition ]
C2 G C D , G C D
( stand on grace )

[ verse 2 ]
G C D Dsus
i’ve begged you for some proof
G C D Dsus
for my thomas eyes to see
G C D Dsus
a slithering staff , a leprous hand
G C D D2
and lions resting lazily

Em D
a glimpse of your back – side glory
G C Em
and this soaked altar going ablaze
D G
but you know i’ve seen so much
C2
i explained it away

( ( chorus )

[ bridge ]
D
waters rose as my doubts rained
C
my sand – castle faith , it slipped away
Em D
found myself standing on your grace
Dsus D
it’d been there all the time

( ( ( chorus )
