F                  C                    F                C
God of all things, God of small things, God of power and might
        F               C              F              C
Did you really make the world in seven days and seven nights?

       F               C            F         C
'Cause I don't know if you exist or if I even care
    F             C                  F             C
But when I lay me down to sleep, I'd like somebody there

Chords:
G  320033
Am x02210

            G            Am            G
'Cause it's hard to make sense of this all,
            G                Am      G
And it gets harder with each passing day


CHORUS1:

F            C                 F               C
I believe in little things and things I cannot see
   F               C                   G               C
In science and the saints and all that stuff like gravity

F        Am          C            G              Am
Not that sentimental fairytale to keep us in our place
              F        C                F       C
'Cause I have seen you here when no one else is looking -

  F        G      Am       F        G      F [INTRO Figure]
A calm and silent bliss, a calm and silent bliss,

F              C                F               C
All you people do these days is argue, fuss and fight
          F                  C
Then they fuss some more and wipe the blood and say,
    F                   C
"At least we know we're right."

    F              C              F                  C
How foolishly, how foolishly your good things come undone
    F             C            F              C
How silently, how silently and now we all are done

And it's hard to make sense of this all,
            G                Am      G
And it gets harder with each passing day

   F               C                   F               C
In science and the saints and all that stuff like gravity

F        Am          C            G              Am
Not that sentimental fairytale to keep us in our place
              F        C                F       C
'Cause I have seen you here when no one else is watching -

  F           G      Am       F           G      F [INTRO Figure]
A strange and silent bliss, a strange and silent bliss,

F                  C                    F               C
God of all things, God of small things, God of loss and hope
F             C              F                C
God of people struggling, of people who can't cope

       F                   C                 F               C
Do you keep your blessings for the rich, the pious and their guns?

   F                  C               F        G   [INTRO Figure]
Or if you're half the man, I hope you root for everyone

    F        C  G  C
You root for ev'ry-one
