This transcription is not my own work; it was contributed to the site by another Caedmon's Call fan.
I haven't had a lot of time for guitar recently, but this is one of several tabs that various nice people have sent me. I haven't reviewed or editted them, so no guarantees about accuracy, but I'm sure people will find them useful. If you have transcribed a Caedmon's Call or derek webb song that's not already on this site, please feel free to send it in to be shared here.

Verse 1 (Intro Riff)
The grass looked greener on the other side
So I tried to, snatch myself from your hand
Caught a boat to anywhere but Nineveh
And, well, you know, I got spit back on dry land.

Verse 2 (Intro Riff)
Give me purity and give me continence
But oh no, not yet
Like a coin hiding in the corner
Trying not to be swept
I was trying not to be swept.
Pre-Chorus
A
Kicking against these goads
G D D
Sure did cut up my feet
A
And didn't your hands get bloody
G
As you washed them clean
D
And you washed them clean.
