[Intro]
C
 
 
[Verse 1]
  C                        Am
I know that fan is moving air
Em            G
 I can see it in your hair
    Dm              F                 Am
But I can't bear to breathe it in somehow
                Dm
..I'll rise and fall with you
F                          C
 'Cause you can't fail me now
                 Dm
..I'll rise and fall with you
F                          C
 'Cause you can't fail me now
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                   Am
 The salt is sweet upon my mouth
Em                   G
 Dark throws sparks against my house
    Dm               F               Am
The stain of love's a smudge upon my brow
Dm
 But you see through me
F                       C
 And you can't fail me now
Dm
 You see right through me
F                       C
 And you can't fail me now
 
 
[Verse 3]
C                       Am
 I've bit off more than I can chew
Em                     G
 It's something that I tend to do
    Dm               F            Am
When fewer words are what we need, and how
Dm
 You bite my tongue
F                       C
 And you can't fail me now
Dm
 I ran to the rail
F                       C
 But you can't fail me now

[Bridge]
    F                 G
I've lost the thread among the vines
    C      G/B           Am
And hung myself in story lines
     F                              C
That tell the tales I never would allow
    F                 G
God knows the name of every bird
     C         G/B      Am
That fills my mind like angry words
F                                  G
 But you know all my secret heart avows
 
 
[Verse 4]
      C                  Am
We're taught to love the worst of us
Em                   G
 And mercy more than life but trust me
   Dm                  F                Am
Mercy's just a warning shot across the bow
Dm
 I live for yours
F                        C
 And you can't fail me now
       Dm              F   C
I live for your mercy...
Em                 Am    G
 You can't fail me now
F                  C
You can't fail me now
