Intro
[]   []
[]I know that fan is moving []air,
[]I can see it []in your hair,
But []I can't bear to []breathe it in some[]how,
..I'll rise and []fall with you
[]'Cause you can't fail me []now,
..I'll rise and []fall with you
[]'Cause you can't fail me []now.[]
VERSE 2
[]The salt is sweet u[]pon my mouth,
[]Dark throws sparks a[]gainst my house,
The []stain of love's a []smudge upon my []brow,[]
[]But you see through me,
[]And you can't fail me []now.[]
[]You see right through me
[]And you can't fail me []now.[]
VERSE 3
[C]I've bit off more than [Am]I can chew,
[Em]It's something that I [G]tend to do
When [Dm]fewer words are [F]what we need, and [Am]how.[Am]
[]You bite my tongue
And []you can't fail me []now,[]
[]I ran to the rail,
And []you can't fail me []now.[]
SOLO;  // // // // // // ////

BRIDGE
[F]I've lost the thread a[G]mong the vines,
And [C]hung myself in [Am]story lines,
[F]That tell the tales I never would a[C]llow.
God [F]knows the name of [G]every bird,
[C]That fills my mind like [Am]angry words,
[F]But you know all my secret heart a[G]vows…….
VERSE 4
[C]We're taught to love the [Am]worst of us,
[Em]And mercy more than [G]life but trust me
[Dm]Mercy's just a warning [F]shot across the [Am]bow,[Am]
[Dm]I live for yours
[F]And you can't fail me [C]now,
[Dm]I live for your mercy...[F][C]

[Em]You can't fail me [Am]now,[Am]
[F]You can't [G]fail me [C]now.
