Intro: G Bm C G


G              Bm                C                  GI was hollow and closed, in the morning I could not see
G              Bm                C             GYour beloved goodness reigned itself out on me
G         Bm               C            GI raged against you like a river on a stone
G                  Bm        C           GBut against that tidal wave, I am overthrown

G                 Bm              C             GI was lost in the worldly and uh leanin' on myself
G             Bm                   C            GI played that religion card, I put Jesus on a shelf
G           Bm              C               GBorn into darkness, I kept putting off the grace
G               Bm       C               G           Thinking my own goodness could get me in heaven's gates

G            Bm                 C              GI beg you to come and take away all my ancient fears
G             Bm             C              GThis bloodied history we all cling on to so dear
G          Bm       C           GAll around me was a blinded fantasy
G           Bm         C        GTruth in the mirror of foul vanity
