                                G 
Well now on a summer night in a dusky room 
                          D 
Come a little piece of the Lord's undying light 
             A                G 
Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon 
      D                                   G 
Yeah, in his mother's arms it was all the beauty I could take 
                     D                      A 
Like the missing words to some prayer that I could never make 
         G                              D 
Oh, in a world so hard and dirty so fouled and confused 
             G                           A 
Searching for a little bit of God's mercy 
         G          | G | D | D | G | G | D 
I found living proof 
 
                                  G 
I put my heart and soul I put 'em high upon a shelf 
      D                     A                 G 
Right next to the faith the faith I'd lost in myself 
      D 
I went down into the desert city 
      G 
Just tryin' so hard to shed my skin 
   D 
I crawled deep into some kind of darkness 
                    A 
Lookin' to burn out every, every trace of who I'd been 
                G 
You do some sad sad things baby 
           D 
When it's you you're tryin' to lose 
            G                     A 
You do some sad and hurtful things 
           G          | G | D | D | G | G | D 
I've seen living proof 
 
          A 
You shot through my anger and rage 
               Em                         A 
To show me my prison was just an open cage 
 
There were no keys no guards 
     G                               A              D 
Just one frightened man and some old shadows for bars 
 
(Guitar solo) | D | G | G | D | D | G | G 
 
 
                        D 
Well now all that's sure on the boulevard 
             G 
Is that life is just a house of cards 
    D 
As fragile as each and every breath 
            A 
Of this boy sleepin' in our bed 
              D 
Tonight let's lie beneath the eaves 
             G 
Just a close band of happy thieves 
                  D 
And when that train comes we'll get on board 
                   A 
And steal what we can from the treasures, treasures of the Lord 
             G 
It's been a long long drought baby 
                   D 
Tonight the rain's pourin' down on our roof, Lord 
 G                                 A 
Looking for a little bit of God's mercy 
         G 
I found living proof 
      D 
Oh, living proof 
          G 
I found living proof 
        D 
Yeah, living proof 
          G 
I found living proof 
            D 
Oh, found living proof 
          G 
I found living proof 
            D 
Oh, found living proof 
                G 
Yeah, I found living proof 
          D 
I found living proof 
          G 
I found living proof 
     D  | D | G | G | (fade out) 
Oh, now
