UNOPENED - Josh Radnor

A prayer to not procrastinate my life away, to do the work I'm here to do.
(Written with a generous assist from Emily Falvey, shot by Gabe Jacobs.)

Capo 2

[G] Hittin the snooze button
[Em] A second time
[Am7] Still taste the cigarette
[D7] Still taste the wine

The same thing happened yesterday
And the day before
Why am I so afraid
For my feet to hit the floor

[Am7] Won't you please allow this [D7] sun
[Am7] To light up what’s asking [D] to be done

[G] Bless this heart that’s been a[Am7]woken
[G] Let it love in deep de[Am7]votion
[G] I am not the wave I’m the [Am7] ocean
[D] Sometimes I forget
Sometimes I forget
So [G] let this vow be un[Am7]broken
[G] Let this tongue be un[Am7]frozen
[G] Let no prayer remain un[Am7]spoken
And [C] Lord
Don’t let these [D] gifts
Be un[G]opened

Fifteen hundred unsung songs
Caught in my throat
Will this fire keep me warm
Or send me up in smoke

Darkness takes another day
That I won’t get back
I could take a couple swigs
And fade myself to black

[Am7] Please don’t set the [D7] sun
[Am7] Before my work is [D] said and done

[G] Bless this heart that’s been a[Am7]woken
[G] Let it love in deep de[Am7]votion
[G] I am not the wave I’m the [Am7] ocean
[D] Sometimes I forget
Sometimes I forget
So [G] let this vow be un[Am7]broken
[G] Let this tongue be un[Am7]frozen
[G] Let no prayer remain un[Am7]spoken
And [C] Lord
Don’t let these [D] gifts
Be un[G]opened

I will guard my thoughts
[Am7] I will carry the cross
[G] I will bear the loss
Of [Am7] all that time it takes from me
I’ll fight to stay awake
Offer up my heart to breaking
Celebrate every mistake
And live to fight another day
And when that day is done
I’ll rest with the setting sun
And give thanks to the one
That put this song inside of me
