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: (Verse Riff)
D2 G4 D2 G4
They say you live in hospitals and trenches
Fadd6 Asus Fadd6
And towers in the sky
D2 G4 D2 G4
And I'm not dying or fighting any wars
Fadd6 Asus Fadd6
Except on the inside
Pre-Chorus:
Asus G/B G
The only thing i need is a void that you can fill
Asus G/B G
And I jump ship and run even farther in your will
Chorus:
Em7 D2/F# G Asus Em7
And I am looking for the well that won't run dry
D2/F# G Asus Em7
The rest that weary thoughts cannot deny
D2/F# G Asus G
When you wrap your arms around me I can walk away
D2/F# Em7
or face the emptiest day
Verse 2:
The words I find impossible to mention
Are written on a star
They say that i can find you in a flower
But i need you in the car
Pre-Chorus 2:
The optimism of my youth is dead and gone
But I save these speculations for another time and song
Bridge:
Fadd6 Asus G/B D2
Life, is only perceived through chemicals and emotion
Fadd6 Asus G/B D2
But love, love is the island that overgrows the ocean
