Our Deliverance
Words & Music by Emily Saliers

            G                 C    G           Bm                      Am7
Now we can say that nothing's lo__st and only change brings 'round the prophecy
                G                 C     G             Bm                                 Am7
Where now it's melting, the solid fro___st was once a veil on greener landscapes we would see
            D      C            G                      Bm             C                 Am7
Beneath my surface the water's heating and steam comes up and out the tears you see me shine
            G                C  G             Bm                 C    Cmaj7   D   G
For every strange and bitter moment there was never a better time

For every pleasure exacts its pain how you hurt me how you were good to me
Beneath my window a mournful train that makes me smile at my bad poetry
Beneath my surface a song is rising it may be simple but it hides its true intent
We may be looking for our deliverance but it has already been sent

C                    G                    F#                          C
It's in the nightfall when the light falls and what you've seen isn't there anymore
                       G                       Am7               C        D    G
It's in our blind trust that love will find us      just like it has before

They're sending soldiers to distant places X's and O's on someone's drawing board
Like green and plastic but with human faces and they want to tell you it's a merciful sword
But with all the blood newly dried in the desert can't we fertilize the land with something else?
There is no nation by God exempted lay down your weapons and love your neighbor as yourself

It's in the nightfall when the light falls and what you've seen isn't there anymore
It's in our blind trust love will find us just like it has before
