Every Grain Of Sand Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]In [Em]the[D][G][Em][D][G][D][G]
[Em]time[D] of [G]my confession,
[Em]in t[D]he hour [G]of my deepest need
[Em]In t[D]he p[G]ool of tears beneath my fe[Em]et
[D]Flood every newborn sea
There's a [G]dy ing voice within [Em]me
[D]Reach[G]ing out [Em]somewhere
[D]Toiling[G] in the[Em] danger
and [D]the morals of despair
I don't have the inclination
to look [G]back on any [D]mistake
Like canine now,
the chain of [G]events that I must [D]break
And in the [G]fury of the mo[Em]ment,
[D]I c[G]an see the Master's hand
[Em]In e[D]very[G] leaf it t[Em]rembles,
and in [D]every grain of [G]sand.[Em][D][G][Em]
[D]Oh, the [G]flowers of indul[Em]gence,
[D]and the[G] weeds of yesteryear,
[Em]Like [D]cri[G]minals they have choked
[Em]the breath o[D]f conscience
and good cheer
And the sun [G]beat down
upon [Em]the steps o[D]f [G]time to light the way
[Em]To e[D]ase [G]the pain of idleness[Em]
and [D]the memory of decay
As I gaze into the doorway
of [G]temptation's angry [D]flame
And every time I pass that way,
oh I [G]always hear [D]my name
But then [G]on ward on my jour[Em]ney,
[D]I have c[G]ome to understand
[Em]An d[D] that ev[G]ery hair is nu[Em]mbered,
just like [D]every grain of
[G]sand.[Em][D][G][Em]
[D]Cause I have [G]gone from rags to [Em]riches,
[D]in the sor[G]row of the night.
[Em]An d[D] the viole[G]nce of
a summer[Em]'s dream
And the [D]chill of wintry light
And the bit[G]ter dance of loneli[Em]ness
[D]Fad[G]ing into space
[Em]An d[D] the b[G]roken mirror of innoce[Em]nce
[D]In each forgotten face
I hear the ancient footsteps
Like the [G]motion of the [D]sea
Sometimes I turn
and there's someone there
Other [G]times it's only [D]me
Cause I am [G]hanging in the bal[Em]ance
[D]Of a per[G]fect finished [Em]plan
[D]Like [G]every sparrow [Em]fallen
And like [D]every grain of [G]sand[Em][D][G]
[Em]Every [D]grain of sand
