[Verse 1]

DmHey redeemer now what`s become of me?
F                      CTaken in by promise, awakening in grief
DmCollecting us like puppets you instrumentalize
F                          CA frigid trepidation in a million puppet eyes


[Pre-Chorus]

Bb            F                  Bb                 CGod gave His word just to let us down, where is He now?

G                   DYou've been facing heaven
          C                           Am            DYou were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and
G              DFound another heaven
        C                           Am               DIt was you who took my hand, come into the promised land

[Verse 2]

DmYou scratched my back and I scratched yours
F                                    CIt's you who makes decisions, I just open up the doors
DmWhining in the gutter they forget their sanctity
F                            CWelcome to my clockwork vanity machinery


[Pre-Chorus]

Bb             F                Bb             CYou gave your word, you let me down what am I now?

          C                           Am            DYou were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and
G              DFound another heaven
        C                           Am               D         CIt was you who took my hand, come into the promised land


[Bridge]

C                EmOh as far as the eye can see
                    C               EmThey're bent in submission, empty inside
            C                                EmAn army of scarecrows like me, thousands of broken dreams
              C                                 EmThousands of tragedies tried to run from their destiny
                     C                DOh, like moths to a flame, driven by vanity
                       C                   D                DThey've been off to Jerusalem, chasing a dream, calling on me
                       DmWe're just trading in needs

G                   DYou've been facing heaven
          C                           Am            DYou were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and
G              DFound another heaven
        C                           Am               DIt was you who took my hand, come into the promised land
