Shame Is A River

G Gm Em G Em G Shame is a river Gm Em When I cross its waters G I always sink G Em G G Hope's on the other side C G Em But I got guilt like bricks to my feet G I was fifteen when I had my first drink Em Numb on the sofa across from a shrink G Em Keeping my mouth shut and grinding my teeth G I got away as far as I could C Em But that didn't' do me any good G Em This hurricane's within me G Love is a sunrise Em Where's the light to G Eclipse my grief G Grace speaks in silence C G C I've been quiet but only hear my own screams G I was fifteen when I had my first drink Em Numb on the sofa across from a shrink G Em Keeping my mouth shut and grinding my teeth G I got away as far as I could C Em But that didn't' do me any good G This hurricane's within me G I'm a force of nature G Keep your saviors C There's no prayer G C See you reconcile me G Paint me a picture C One where I have G C Finally cried myself clean G Show me a picture C One where I am G C Forgiven and free G C G C
