verse 4
C G F
If nature's red in tooth and in claw
C G F
Then it seems to me that she's an outlaw
C G
'Cause every death is a question mark
F G
At the end of the book of a beating heart
Am G
And the answer is scrawled in the silent dark
F G
On the dome of the sky in a billion stars
Am G
But we cannot read these angel tongues
F G
And we cannot stare at the burning sun
Am G
And we cannot breathe with these broken lungs
F G
So we kick in the womb and we beg to be born
Am F G
Deliverance!
Am F G
Deliverance, O Lord!
Am F G
Deliverance!
