Dwelling Place

Tom: C#m

C#m          G#m           A               E
   I hurt my brother and I left the family tree
F#m             E        B                  B
When I tell the story, I say that they left me
C#m     G#m                A               E
   So I wander through the country with no name
F#m               E               B                B
Hard to know just who you are without somewhere to stay

[Chorus]
A       E
 I feel broken
C#m          B              A
Weary of the wars I can't escape
         E
Tired of hoping
C#m              B                A
For the promised morning light to break
           E         C#m            B
And then I heard you calling out my name
          A          E
Singing, "Do not be afraid,
C#m       B                C#m     G#m A E F#m E B B
   I will be your dwelling place"

[Verse 2]
C#m                 G#m             A               E
   It's a brand new morning and the birds are happy still
F#m             E            B           B
I keep fighting for my peace  and taking pills
C#m         G#m          A              E
   You come asking me to lay my burdens down
F#m           E             B              B
Why do I feel safer with my worries and my doubts?

[Chorus]
A             E
  Oh,  I feel broken
C#m          B              A
Weary of the wars I can't escape
         E
Tired of hoping
C#m              B                A
For the promised morning light to break
           E         C#m            B
And then I heard you calling out my name
          A          E
Singing, "Do not be afraid,
C#m       B                C#m     G#m A E F#m E B B
   I will be your dwelling place"

[Verse 3]
C#m                 G#m            A                E
Running through the gardens to the east of Cheesman Park
F#m             E           B
Chasing rabbits with my son  till it's too dark
C#m              G#m            A              E
    And he can't understand the fullness of my love
F#m              E            B         B
Tell me it's the same with my father up above

[Chorus]
A             E
  Oh,  I feel broken
C#m          B              A
Weary of the wars I can't escape
         E
Tired of hoping
C#m              B                A
For the promised morning light to break
           E         C#m            B
And then I heard you calling out my name
          A          E
Singing, "Do not be afraid,
C#m       B                C#m     G#m A E F#m E B B
   I will be your dwelling place"
