Shifting Sand chords by Caedmons Call

Difficulty: Beginner



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)
((Transition)
