John Mark McMillan


Tom: C

Intro: C G Em Am G C

                            G
Monsters want to talk to me
            Em       Am           G
No quarter drawn by lawyers on a crimson sea
C                 G
Weep like willows, break like waves
      Em                      Am
We are fragile creatures on collision
          G                C
With our judgement days

                             G
Nightbird says she knows my name
               Em
But she don't call it out to me
             Am              G            C
Beneath the rubble like the way you say it
                  G
Weep like willows, break like waves
      Em                      Am
We are fragile creatures on collision
          G                C
With our judgement days

Instrumental: C G Em Am G (2x) C

                           G
Monsters want to crowd my room
           Em
But on the night the cold wars bloom
           Am             G             C
You're the only roof I'm standing under
                  G
Weep like willows, break like waves
      Em                      Am
We are fragile creatures on collision
          G                C
With our judgement days

           G                             Em
Your heart smolders in the marrow of the night
                Am              G               C
Bitter waters cannot quench my thirsty fire
          G
Still, I want to do what's right
    Em
But I can't get no sleep
       Am              G                     C
Can I stand beside the way you love tonight

Can I stand
       G                              Em
Can I stand beside the way you love tonight

Can I stand
       Am              G                C
Can I stand beside the way you love
