Bear Witness Chords & Lyrics by Dawes
Bear Witness
guitar chords lyrics
G Em Bm
You can put 'em on the counter, there with all the other flowers
G Em Bm
And help me figure out how to turn off this TV
G Em Bm
I'm glad you made the visit, and if you think you have a minute
Am D/F# G
You should sit and talk until it's time to leave
G Em Bm
Is my granddaughter Ruthie still working at the movies?
G Em Bm
Does she still let all her boyfriends in for free?
G Em Bm
Does she still stare out of the front door as she's serving people popcorn
Am D/F# G
And talk about how nice today was supposed to be?
Am C D C G
Oh oh oh oh oh, that's the love that I came to bear witness to
Am C D C G
Oh oh oh oh oh, and the love I'm taking with me when I go
G Em Bm
Did you notice walking over at the house down at the corner
G Em Bm
There's a dog behind a window that doesn't move
G Em Bm
I've seen him staring in the mornings, I've seen him staring in the evenings
Am D/F# G
As if time stops until his master's in the room
Am C D C G
Oh oh oh oh oh, that's the love that I came to bear witness to
Am C D C G
Oh oh oh oh oh, and the love I'm taking with me when I go
G Em Bm
Some nights get worse than others, and I start thinking about your mother
G Em Bm
And she's here with me as far as I can tell
G Em Bm
As if the world revealed its secret and it's asking me to keep it
Am D/F# G
Like a kid that hears the ocean in a shell
C G
And that's the love that I came to bear witness to
C G
And the love I'm taking with me when I go
Am C D
Oh oh oh oh oh,
Am C D
Oh oh oh oh oh,
Am C D C G
Oh oh oh oh oh, that's the love that I came to bear witness to
Am C D C G
Oh oh oh oh oh, and the love I'm taking with me when I go
C G
And the love I'm taking with me when I go
