Land of Canaan

This was perhaps the third song the Girls played
in Binghamton and I was surprised how simple it
was.  I hope you enjoy it.  I also hope that I
will be able to sing it when I get done. Have fun!

G                          C
   You say we're under the same sky babe
              G                     C
Your bound to realize honey it's not that clear
G                        C
   I'm not your promised land oh no
G                        C
   I'm not your promised one
D              Dsus2   D     Dsus2

CHORUS
             G                     C
I'm lonely tonight I'm missing you now
                 G                          C
I'm wanting your love and you're giving it out

             G       C
I'm lonely tonight


Well the meanings changed for what it's worth
It's just a senseless game
Well I should think of love
But it's fear every time I hear 
Honey your heartbeat strain
It's not the fallen man honey
It's not the call of time
It's just the London skyline
Telling me you're not mine


CHORUS


SOLO

play verse and chorus chords


My blood is running dry my skin is
My skin is growing thin
For every time you find yourself
You loose a little bit of me honey from within
It's just a raging cycle
Why can't we bring it all to the end of the line
From inside this existence sweetheart
Time is not on my side


CHORUS


I'm not your promised land
(I'm lonely tonight)
I'm not your promised one
(Honey I'm trying to tell you that I'm lonely tonight)
I'm not your promised land
I'm not your promised one
I'm not the land of Canaan
(I'm lonely tonight)
I'm not your land of Canaan
(I'm lonely tonight)
I'm not the land of Canaan sweetheart
Waiting for you under the sun
             C  Bm  Am  G
I'm lonely tonight
