[Start]

[Intro]

[Verse]
E                         
■ Come down from the stars
     E               
Show your human scars
E                                
Tell me what it's like to believe
           Gbm7   A               
Through my Christ haunted thoughts
         A                
That the losses you bought
        E               A                 B      Emaj7 B
Are the nights that you peopled with your dreams ■     ■
A                Esus4  
Well I've got no answers
    A           Esus4     
For heartbreaks or cancers
      E                              
But a Savior who suffers them with me
Dbm             B      
Singing goodbye Olympus
    A     E          
The heart of my Maker
   A                 B                      E    
Is spread out on the road the rocks and the weeds
     E                      
Come down from your mountain
     E                 
Your highrise apartment
    E                                     
And tell me of the God you know who bleeds
    Gbm7                    
And what to tell my daughter
         Gb7                   
When she asks so many questions
      Dbm7             Dbm            B    
And I fail to fill her heaviness with peace


[Chorus]
     A                  
When I've got no answers
    A                    
For hurt knees or cancers
      Dbm7                         E 
But a Savior who suffers them with me
Dbm             B      
Singing goodbye Olympus
    A           E    
The heart of my Maker
   A                 B                      E    
Is spread out on the road the rocks and the weeds
    Gbm       Gb7           
And Aphrodite would not weep


[Verse]
B                             E   
Nor Zeus would suffer for the weak
                                     A   
But have you come to stand inside my pain
Gbm                     Gb            
And all the things I've begged you for
B                    
Eternity and evermore
    E              B                Dbm  Dbm7
Are hidden with me here beneath the rain ■   
    B   
The Rain


[Chorus]
Dbm7 B A E A B E A
■    ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■
E A B E
■ ■ ■ ■
   E                     
So shall I plant sequoias
    E                
And revel in the soil
     E                                  
Of a crop I know I'll never live to reap
            Dbm  E          
Then sow my body to my Maker
    B                      
And my heart unto my savior
                 A                          E     A B E
And spread me on the road the rocks and the weeds ■ ■ ■


[Outro]
A                B    E
Spread me on the road ■
