A Life Preserved

Em Bobbing for air, C I'm back again Em A perfect ten of a dive C without a pool Em D A perfect fool too slow to know C His wind has been knocked out Em D till I'm gasping Em Bobbing for air, C been up and down Em The once renown, C angling for another act Em D Another tactical advance C to who knows where Em You found me there, D I heard you there Em G Calling me out of the C G shallows of my world G Called to something graceful, D something true Em G Gratitude's too cheap a word C G for all you've reassembled G D From a spirit broken and unnerved Em A life preserved Em Bobbing for air, C I've been atoned Em Creation groaned C to lift me as I drowned Em And set my feet up on the D C mound of rock you crushed for me Em D A place to stand, whisper a command Em G Calling me out of the C G shallows of my world G Called to something graceful, D something true Em G Gratitude's too cheap a word C G for all you've reassembled G D From a spirit broken and unnerved Em A life preserved Em Bobbing for air, C I have been served Em A life preserved C after all I'd cast away Em You tipped the grayscale D C till the scales fell back to earth E D And I saw colors, I heard a shout Em G Calling me out of the C G shallows of my world G Called to something graceful, D something true Em G Gratitude's too cheap a word C G for all you've reassembled G D From a spirit broken and unnerved Em A life preserved
