[Intro 1]
[Am][F][C][Am][F]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[Am]I found
them standing in [F]my [C]door
In [Am]the clumsy silence [F]of [C]the poor
I've [Am]got no time for pre[F]cious things
But [C]at least they won't be [G]wandering
If they're [Am]sleeping on my
[F]stable floor

[Interlude 1]
[C][Am][F][C]

[Verse 2]
There [Am]were no rooms to [F]rent [C]tonight
The [Am]only empty [F]bed is [C]mine
'Cause [Am]I'm
overbooked and [F]overrun
With so [C]many things that [G]must be done
Un[Am]til I'm numb and
run[F]ning blind
[C]

[Verse 3]
[Am]I need res[Em]t, I n[F]eed rest[C]
Lost in[Am]side a forest of a
[F]million [Dm]trees
Trying to find my way back to [F]me

[Interlude 2]
I need rest
[Am][F][C][Am][F][C]

[Verse 4]
As a [Am]boy I heard the o[F]ld men s[C]ing
About [Am]a Kingdom and [F]a coming [C]King
But [Am]keeping books and chan[F]ging beds
Put a dif[C]ferent song [G]inside my head
And the [Am]melody is deafening
[F][C]

[Verse 5]
[Am]I need res[Em]t, Oh I [F]need res[C]t[G]
Like [Am]a drowning man in the [F]open sea
I [Dm]need somebody to rescue [F]me
I need [Am]rest
[F][C]

[Verse 6]
To [Dm]Rome we're only [Am]names and [C]numbers
Not [Dm]souls in search of [Am]signs
and [C]wonders
But we're [F]waiting for the day
[Am]of o[F]ur sal[Am]vatio[C]n[G]
The [F]Messiah who will be
our lib[C]era[G]tion
We're [Dm]waiting, I'm [F]waiting

[Verse 7]
[Am]I need res[Em]t, I n[F]eed rest[C]
Oh [Am]come oh come Em[F]manuel
With [Dm]a sword deliver [F]Israel

[Verse 8]
I need rest
[G]
To[Am]night I can't get
[F]any [Am]sleep[C]
With those shep[Am]herds
shouting in the [F]streets[C]
A [Am]star is shining much [F]too bright
Some[C]where I hear a [G]baby cry
[Am]And all I want is a l[F]ittle p[C]eace
