Eleanor,
        F                  G            C
you’re perfect in every single way,
         F         G                         C
and i should’ve left my vows down by the lake -
G7
‘cause i can’t live this way.
C                        F              G               C
used to be, i could see the hall light up around your face,
         F              G                        C
where the pews stayed empty long before you came,
                              G7
when i thought i could live this way.

Eleanor,
        F           G                C
you’re perfect in every single way,
            F                   G               Am
never thought i’d stand here lonely on the lake,
             G7
i can’t live this way.
C             F                    G                   C
with my covenant showing nothing to embrace,
                 F                        G                      Am
something real i’d love to feel you here to stay,
                          G7
but i know you couldn’t live that way.

Eleanor,
       C                 F                     G
i never should’ve buried you today,
           F                   G         Am
but i see your face reflecting off the lake,
                                G7
in the clouds where your head will lay.
C                                 F                     G                   C
used to be, empty seats defeated me and stripped my faith,
                 F                   G                Am
but my seed is sewn in peter’s gates my fate,
                        G7
will lead right back to you someday.
