The Fear Of God

No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical

Showbread is a Raw Rock band from Guyton, Georgia. They were signed to Tooth and Nail Records, but recently signed to Come &amp; Live!. They are known for their spastic vocals and energetic live shows. They are also one of the few bands of their genre to use a keytar. They tend to change their style of music from one album to the next. The band had two full time vocalists until Ivory Mobley's departure in 2007.

C                    Am                                F
it is so that my transgressions have born a withered fruit,
                          G
the sun has scorched the rising plants;
                   C                          Am
alas they have no root, the bleached bones of animals bound by leather
 F
strips,
                              G                            C
dance through the air with laughter as I wield this wicked whip,

                    Am                                    F
as you did warn me carpenter, this world has weakened my heart,

             G                                      C
so easily I disparage, self-seeking the work of my art,

                          Am                               F
and there you have come to me at the moment I bathe in my sorrow,

                 G                             C
so in love with myself, sought after avoiding tomorrow,
                       Am                           F
where do you find the love to offer he who betrays you?

                      G                          C
and offer to wash my feet as I offer to disobey you,

                    Am                              F
your beauty does bereave me, and how my words do fail,
                   G                            C
so faithfully and dutifully I award you with betrayal,


Am                      F                     C
the weak and the down trodden fall on broken legs,
                  G                          Am
as I walk past a smile I cast, fervor in my stead,
                     F                         C
but my bones like plastic, do buckle backward now,

                        G                                C
I lay in this field by Judas' bowels and anticipate the plow,
              F                          Am
I can not be forgiven; my wages will be paid,

                             G                          C
for those more lovely and admirable is least among the saved,
                        F
and where would I fit Jesus?
                      Am
what place is left for me?
                           G                                      C
the price of atonement is more than I've found to offer up as my plea,

C                       Am                F                  G
Jesus my heart is all I have to give to you, so weak and so unworthy,

                     C                Am                      F
this simply will not do, no alabaster jar, no diamond in the rough,

                        G                        C
for your body that was broken, how can this be enough?

                 Am                        F
by me you were abandoned, by me you were betrayed,

                     G                             C
yet in your arms and in your heart forever I have stayed

C                 Am                                   F
Your glory illuminates my life, and no darkness will descend,

                        G                                C
for you have loved me forever, and your love will never end

My dearest friend, if I sing you this song, will you hear it from up in heaven?
C                        F                   C                Am   G

C                                F                      C                   Am      G
When they tell you Im coming, please wait for me in front of the house that Ill live in
    C                   F                                      Am    G      
And when Jesus walks me up to the door, I can finally see you again

     F                     G                    C              Am    
Its true that my heart was broken in two on the day I said goodbye to you
       F                G                     C                     Am       G
And I carry an ache inside of my chest until Jesus makes everything new

C                         F              C                             Am   G
Those that we loved that left before us must have been thrilled beyond words
         C                         F                    C                    Am   G
when you ran through the gates and into the kingdom and up to the feet of my Lord
C                     F                  C                    Am  G
Once sick and frail, once weak and pale, now made perfect and new
        C                     F                   C                               Am     G
No more aching and crying, or breaking and dying, finally home in the arms of who loves you

         F                       G                 C                         Am
When you run and you play in the light of the Son, hold me in your heart and mind
  F                   G                      C                       Am
I Dont know how and I dont know when, but Im leaving this cold place behind
F                     G                        C                      Am
How my heart aches to think of the day when my faith shall finally be sight
         F                    G                     C                       Am
When the crowds will part and cheer as I come, as I walk through toward the light

       C                F                      C                Am   G
And my father, my love, Jesus, my king, in His glory, seated on His throne
     C                           F                              C                       Am   G
Hell take me in His arms as the crowds cheer and sing and say "Well done child, welcome home"

         F              G                            C                     Am
And Hell walk me to the house that He built with the fathers love and the carpenters touch
    F                       G                       C                           Am         C
And youll run to me and Ill hold you again, for my friend, I have missed you so much

Hey, honestamente te explicaré

El mar, el sol, el gas,

Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy

  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos

            C        G              D 
        the radio reminds her of my home far away
            Em               D            C
        and driving down the road I get a feeling 
 	       G                     D          D7    G
        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

School Friends

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?

             F                    C                G

       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

It Ain't Me

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say

The things that I thought would last forever

And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
