Barely Listening chords

Barely Listening

• Em

  Em                D                 Am                 G     B
I lie awake on this phone call, she's dreaming of better days
Em                 D          Am                 G 	B
Flowers lie on the counter, remind her of better days


She sends a prayer up to Jesus
And she asks him for his strength
And the night will go on bleeding
Was it faith that paid the rent?

Em
 And I know you’re barely listening
D
 I know you’re barely listening
Am
 I know you’re barely listening
G	    B
Now I know you’re….
I know you’re barely listening
I know you’re barely listening
I know you’re barely listening
Now I know you’re….

Standing here in a doorway with a candle and a gun
The light tears through open windows
For now the day has won

Repeat chorus

E		    D
Like a child on her way here
	 A			 E
You just smile and run the other way
    E                      D
And faith won’t find you a reason
	A			  E
It just smiles and runs the other way
	    A	   E
And It just smiles….
	G			  D
It just smiles and runs the other way
It just smiles….
It just smiles and then runs the other way

(scat singing)
It’s not worth waiting

Repeat chorus

you can't shape love with a hammer,
and you can't shape love with a will,
what horror lies in knowing there's no faith that chaos can't kill
