[Dm][Am][Gm][Am]
[Dm][Am][Gm][Am]
[Gm][Dm]

[Verse 1]
[Dm]Spare me your [Am]judgments
and [Gm]spare me your [Am]dreams
'Cause [Dm]recently [Am]mine have been
[Gm]tearing my [Am]seams
I sit a[Gm]lone in this winter clarity
which clouds my [Dm]mind
A[Dm]lone in the [Am]wind and the [Gm]rain you left [Am]me
It's [Dm]getting dark [Am]darling, [Gm]too dark to s[Am]ee
And I'm [Gm]on my knees,
and your faith in shreds, it [Dm]seems

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][C][Bm][Bb]
[Am][Gm][F][Em]
[Dm][C][Bm][Bb]
[Am][Gm][F][Em][Dm]

[Verse 2]
Cor[Dm]rupted [Am]by the simple sn[Gm]iff
of riches [Am]blown
I [Dm]know you have [Am]felt much more [Gm]love
than you've [Am]shown
And I'm [Gm]on my knees
and the water creeps to my [Dm]chest

[Chorus 1]
But [Dm]plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
[Gm]Rain down, rain down on [Dm]me
Look over your hills and be still
The sky above us shoots to kill
[Bb]Rain down, rain down on [Dm]me

Oh [Dm]I will ho[Gm]ld on[Dm]
[Dm]I will hol[Gm]d on[Dm] hope[Bb][C]
Oh [Dm]I will ho[Gm]ld on[Dm]
[Dm]I will hol[Gm]d on[Dm] hope[Bb][C]
Oh [Dm]I will ho[Gm]ld on[Dm]
[Dm]I will hol[Gm]d on[Dm] hope[Bb][C]
[Dm]I will hol[Gm]d on[Dm]

[Verse 3]
I [Dm]begged you to [Am]hear me,
there's [Gm]more than flesh and [Am]bones
Let the [Dm]dead bury their [Am]dead,
they will [Gm]come out in [Am]droves
But take [Gm]the spade from my hands
and fill in the holes you've [Dm]made

[Chorus 2]
[Dm]Plant your hope with good seeds
Don't cover yourself with thistle and weeds
[Gm]Rain down, rain down on [Dm]me
