[Intro]
D        G      D  G    Dbm   A    G      D
 
[Verse]
G                                            D
Yea I've come to know the wishlist of my father
G                                            D
I've come to know the shipwrecks where he wished
Bm                A               G            D
I've come to wish aloud among the over-dressed crowd
D               A                        D
Come to witness now the sinking of the ship
D                A                        D
Throwing pennies from the sea top next to it
 
[Verse]
G                                         D
And I've come to roam the forest past the village
G                              D
With a dozen lazy horses in my cart
Bm                    A
I've come here to get high,
G                        D
To do more than just get by.
D                     A            D
I've come to test the timber of my heart
D                         A            D
Oh, I've come to test the timber of my heart
 
[Chorus]
G                                    D
And I've come to be untroubled in my seeking
G                                        D
And I've come to see that nothing is for naught
Bm                     A
I've come to reach out blind
G                     D
to reach forward and behind
D               A                D
For the more I seek the more I'm sought
D               A                 D
Yea, the more I seek the more I'm sought.

[Verse]
 
G                                         D
And I've come to meet the sheriff and his posse
G                                D
To offer him the broadside of my jaw
Bm                    A
I've come here to get broke
G                D
Then maybe bum a smoke
D                     A                D
We'll go drinking two towns over after all
D                     A                D
Oh, we'll go drinking two towns over after all.
 
[Verse]
G                                   D
And I've come to meet the legendary takers
G                                D
I've only come to ask them for a lot
Bm                      A
Oh they say I come with less
G                        D
than I should rightfully possess
D                        A        D
I say the more I buy the more I'm bought
D                       A          D
And the more I'm bought the less I cost
 
[Chorus]
G                                              D
And I've come to take their servants and their surplus
G                                               D
And I've come to take their raincoats and their speed
Bm                  A
I've come to get my fill
G              D
To ransack and spill
D                     A               D
I've come to take the harvest for the seed
D                     A               D
I've come to take the harvest for the seed

[Verse]
G                                            D
And I've come to know the manger that you sleep in
G                                     D
I've come to be the stranger that you keep
Bm                      A
I've come from down the road
G                      D
And my footsteps never slowed
D              A           D
Before we met, I knew we'd meet
D              A           D
Before we met, I knew we'd meet
 
[Verse]
G                                            D
And I've come here to ignore your cries and heartaches
G                                  D
I've come to closely listen to you sing
Bm                A
I've come here to insist
G                        D
That I leave here with a kiss
D                A             D
I've come to say exactly what I mean
D             A    D
and I mean so many things.
 
[Chorus]
G                                        D
And you've come to know me stubborn as a butcher
G                                        D
and you've come to know me thankless as a guest
Bm                    A
will you recognize my face 
G               D
when gods awful grace
D               A             D
strips me of my jacket and my vest
D                   A              D
and reveals all the treasure in my chest
 
End on D
