[Verse 1]
If dust [Em]could
only talk
What would we hear it say?
Before it's brushed aside
Just [A]as it's swept away
It's [Em]just the

[Verse 2]
evidence
It's of no consequence
It's only flesh and bone
Why don't you leave it alone?

[Verse 3]
If dust could [G]only speak
Caught in [D]a falling beam
If dust could [Am]only cry
If dust could [Em]only scream
For it's [G]the single witness
that might [D]testify
Could [Am]I spit out the truth?
Or would you rather just swallow

[Interlude 1]
a lie?
[Em][E][A][E][Em]

[Verse 4]
But dust is [Em]always caught
behind a coat of paint
Beneath [Am]the marble fingernails
of [Em]kings and saints
And in [E]the theat[Em]er curtain
where they hang a drape
And in the [Am]ticket pocket [A]where
your [Em]hands escape

[Verse 5]
Before [G]they start to wander
And [D]they start to shrink
You rub your [Am]eye a little
and ap[Em]pear to blink
And then she [G]caught you staring
She knows [D]just what you're thinking
[Am]What got into you was not a ghost as such
It was just [Em]dust

Here [Em]comes the

[Verse 6]
juggernaut
Here come the poisoners
They choke the [A]life and [Am]land
And rob the [Em]joy from us
Why do they taste of sugar
Oh, when they're made of money
Here come the [Am]lamb of God
And [Em]the butcher's boy,

[Verse 7]
Well I [Em]believe [E]we just
Become a speck of dust
Well I believe we just
Be[Em]come a speck [E]of dust[E]
Well I believe we just
Become a speck of dust
