Fmaj7 Am G Fmaj7
I remember the dark clouds raining dust for days on end

Just left us here with the wind

Desperate times, you know everbody's part

Verse 2:
Lost my first born that Winter
My wife on the first day of Spring
So I poured my sweat to the Earth
to see what that harvest would bring
And I remember how the fury
just like a plague of locusts
Egypt's punishment for sins of pride
Is that now what has come over us
Chorus:
Fmaj7 Am G
How much of this was meant to be

In these days of toil and trouble
Am Em Fmaj7 C G Am
Verse 3:
Honey, we're all resplendent,
Yeah honey, we are all thrift store
Like a wine-o with a $20 bill
Yeah, forever and eternally yours
And I can make you promises
If you don't expect too much,
Yes, and I will run the distance
If you'll please, please excuse my crutch
Chorus 2:
How much of this was meant to be
How much the work of the Devil
How far can one man's eyes really see
In these days of toil and trouble
How much of this is failing flesh
How much a course of retribution
My, my, how loudly we plead our innocence
Long after we made our contribution
