DOUBTING THOMAS - Nickel Creek
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Jake Denmark
Tuning: Standard, Capo I
A really nice song off "Why Should The Fire Die?" I believe that it is really
played with no capo, but a capo on the 1st fret makes it a lot easier, and it
makes a difference only during the bridge when the bass notes are a bit high.
Scroll down for chords only. Enjoy!

Capo: I
Intro: F C, F C, F G C
[C]what will be [F]left when i've d[C]rawn my last [F]breath,
be[Am]sides the folks i've [F]met and the folks who [G]know me,[G]
[C]will i dis[F]cover a s[C]oul saving l[F]ove, (or)
or[Am] just the dirt a[F]bove and be[G]low me,[G]
i'm a d[F]oubting [C]thomas,
[F] i took a p[C]romise,
[F] but i do [G]not feel [C]safe,[Cadd9]
Am G F C, F C, F G C (like intro)
oh me of little faith,
[C]sometimes i [F]pray for a [C]slap in the [F]face,
then i [Am]beg to be [F]spared 'cause i'm a [G]coward,
if there's a [C]master of [F]death i'll bet he's [C]holding his [F]breath,
as i show the [Am]blind and tell the [F]deaf about his [G]power,
i'm a [F]doubting [C]thomas,
[F] i can't keep my [C]promises,
[F] 'cause i don't [G]know what's [C]safe,[Cadd9]
Am G F C, F C, F G
oh me of little faith
(BRIDGE)
[G#]can i be used to help others find truth,
[Am]when i'm scared i'll find proof that its a lie,
[G#]can i be lead down a trail dropping bread crumbs,
[Am]that prove i'm not ready to die,
[C]please give me [F]time to de[C]cipher the [F]signs,
please for[Am]give me for [F]time that i've [G]waa[G]aaa[G]aaa[G]sted,
i'm a [F]doubting [C]thomas,
[F] i'll take your [C]promise,
[F] though i know [G]nothin's [C]safe,[Cadd9]
Am G F C, F C, F G C
oh me of little faith oh me of little faith
