Standard (EADGBE)

* This part is played during the verses when you go into an A chord. It's optional

really, but this is how it is played in the song.

Verse 1

Opening salvo

Didn't help solve anything

Every time we shout our rights out

 We get all grouchy and gray

It's all about me, me

It's all about what I can take

And if that doesn't ring true anymore

Maybe it was our first mistake

And since we don't believe in Santa Claus

Maybe we'd best stay awake

Chorus

Every time a teardrop falls

It's kicking up dust in our world of pain

Let's get drenched under God's good rain

Caught in a deluge of mercies

Like a pebble clings to dirt

We're still clinging to bedrock sin

Let's get swept off our feet again

Caught in a landslide of love

Verse 2

It's all about me, me

It's all about all I can take

The good I try to do goes nowhere

The bad just seizes the day

And if we're here for something bigger, baby

There's gotta be some better way

Chorus

Bridge

No, not angels or devils

No, not famine or war

No, not the past or the present

Not even the ground separates from God's love

Not even the ground separates from His love
