Awaiting Resurrection Chords & Lyrics - Drive-by Truckers

[INTRO]
[Am]

[VERSE 1]
[Am]Is there an evil in this world?

Yes, there's an evil in this world
Is there an [Dm]evil in this world?
Yes, there's an e[Am]vil in this world
And it c[Dm]reeps up[Em] from behind [F]you
When you are least suspe[Am]ctin'

[VERSE 2]
Is there a [Am]dog in this race?

Yes, there's a dog in this race
I'm look[Dm]in' at his tail
But I'm thinkin' ab[Am]out his face
So I [Dm]keep on pushin' for[Em]ward
Ac[F]quirin' and collect[Am]in'

Is there an a[Dm]bsolute[Em] beginnin'
Or so[F]mething beyond the end?
Will I come [Dm]back as that [Em]dog?
Will I have to [F]live through this again?
The tr[Dm]uth seeps out [Em]between us
In the [F]spaces that we're neglecti[Am]ng

[INTERLUDE]

[Dm] [Em] [F] [Am]

[VERSE 3]
When [Am]push comes to shove

And our devils come at us running
Will we be c[Dm]aught in the flood
Or something far less st[Am]unning?
Will that s[Dm]erum keep us hon[Em]est
From the a[F]nswers we're deflect[Am]ing?

[VERSE 4]
There's a v[Am]oice within the void

And I swear it sounds familiar
Within the trut[Dm]hs that we've destroyed
Whisperin', "Come he[Am]re"
And the an[Dm]swer is within [Em]you
But it [F]keeps on disconnecti[Am]ng

There's an e[Dm]vil in this wo[Em]rld
I've se[F]en it in the news
Of ba[Dm]bies dead [Em]in schools
Or sca[F]ttered in the pews
For r[Dm]easons without ans[Em]wers
In the[F] dark, beyond protect[Am]ion

[INTERLUDE]

[Dm] [Em] [F] [Am]

[VERSE 5]
I'm moving [Am]through the void

Starin' down the fright show
Stand[Dm]in' in the darkness
Just waiting for the light s[Am]how
I t[Dm]ry with all my [Em]might
To seek the[F] truth you've been rejec[Am]ting

[VERSE 6]
Seeki[Am]ng some salvation

To the limits of my talents
I ho[Dm]ld my family close
Just tryin' to find the bal[Am]ance
Between the b[Dm]ad shit goin' [Em]down
And [F]the beauty this life can keep inject[Am]ing

There's a wh[Dm]iplash in the [Em]news
The [F]evil man's tirades
A joke[Dm]r's motor[Em]cade
[F]And military parades
Lives[Dm] in the bal[Em]ance of the di[F]rty deals made
To win electi[Am]ons

[OUTRO]
[Dm]Guns and amm[Em]unition, [F]babies in a cage
They say [Dm]nothing can be d[Em]one
But they [F]tell us how they prayed
In the e[Dm]nd, we're just [Em]standin' watchin' [F]greatness fade

Into da[Am]rkness
Awaiting [Am]resurrection
