*Note: I don't know proper notation for measures/timing, but each |chord| is a 4-4 measure,
so the first F/C and C of the intro/chorus/instrumental are 8 counts each in total.

[INTRO]
| [F/C] | [F/C] | [C] | [C] | [F/C] | [F/C] | [G] | [G] | [C] | [C/B] | [Am] | [F/C] | [C] | [G] | [C] |

[VERSE 1]

L[Am]ookin’ back well I see you
With [F/C]eyes that shouldn't be so blue
[C]Clearer than the calm before t[G]he rain

So [Am]alive it wasn't fair
To [F/C]live without a single care
I l[C]oved you and you felt for me the s[G]ame
So [Dm7]beautiful that words could not de[F/C]fine
[Dm7]Sweeter than the Lord's communion w[G]ine

[CHORUS]

Evange[F/C]line can't you see I'm sorr[C]y
Can't you hear my [F/C]tears ringin’ through the[G] night
I wait in[C] he[C/B]ll between these [Am]bed sheets[F/C]
And pray to G[C]od[G] for morning l[C]ight

[INSTRUMENTAL]
| [F/C] | [F/C] | [C] | [C] | [F/C] | [F/C] | [G] | [G] | [C] | [C/B] | [Am] | [F/C] | [C] | [G] | [C] |

[VERSE 2]

And [Am]winter came and blood ran cold
as [F/C]ever present sleet and snow
[C]Outside of a December window p[G]ane

This [Am]house would never be our home
[F/C]Hand in hand we walk alone
I th[C]ought the sun would never shine a[G]gain
And the [Dm7]oldest violin could never wh[F/C]ine
A [Dm7]melody as sorrowful as m[G]ine

[CHORUS]

Evange[F/C]line can't you see I'm sorr[C]y
Can't you hear my [F/C]tears ringin’ through the[G] night
I wait in[C] he[C/B]ll between these[Am] bed she[F/C]ets
And pray to G[C]od[G] for morning l[C]ight

[INSTRUMENTAL]
| [F/C] | [F/C] | [C] | [C] | [F/C] | [F/C] | [G] | [G] | [C] | [C/B] | [Am] | [F/C] | [C] | [G] | [C] |

[VERSE 3]

Now I've [Am]seen your face a thousand times
And [F/C]nightmares runnin’ through my mind
It [C]hurts, just to pre[G]tend

But the [Am]devil fell and so have I
From [F/C]perfect grace you faced the sky
[C]Never thought a love like this would [G]end
Now your w[Dm7]ords they cut right through me like a k[F/C]nife
I [Dm7]gave my love and now I take my l[G]ife

[CHORUS]

Evange[F/C]line can't you see I'm sorr[C]y
Can't you hear my [F/C]tears ringin through the ni[G]ght
I wait in[C] he[C/B]ll between these[Am] bed she[F/C]ets
And pray to G[C]od[G] for morning l[C]ight
I wait in[C] he[C/B]ll between these[Am] bed she[F/C]ets
And pray to G[C]od[G] for morning l[C]ight
