the things I brought you
D C Am G
when I found out you had cancer of the bone.

In the morning, through the window shade,

when the light pressed up against your shoulderblade,

All the glory that the Lord has made,
Am G
and the complications you could do without,
D C Am G
when I kissed you on the mouth.

Tuesday night at the Bible study,

we lift our hands and pray over your body,

but nothing ever happens.

in the living room when you kissed my neck,
D C Am G
and I almost touched your blouse.

On the floor at the great divide,
Am G
With my shirt tucked in and my shoes untied,
D C Am G
I am crying in the bathroom.

In the morning when you finally go,
Am G
and the nurse runs in with her head hung low,
D C Am G
and the cardinal hits the window.

In the morning in the winter shade,
Am G
on the first of March on the holiday,
D C Am G
I thought I saw you breathing.

and the complications when I see His face,
D C Am G
in the morning in the window.
D C
All the glory when he took our place,
Am G
but he took my shoulders and he shook my face,
D C Am G
and he takes, and he takes, and he takes.
