  Standard Tuning 

Verse1:
C#       Ab      Eb
Careless, I am reckless
      C#                  Ab                 Eb
I'm a wrong-way-travelin-slowly-unraveling shell of a man
C#        Ab        Eb
Burnt out, I'm so numb now
         C#                        Ab                  Eb
That the fire's just an ember way down in the corner of my cold, cold heart

F          Eb                 C#                  Bb             F
   Lord this time I'll make it right, here at the altar I lay my life
             Ab                    Eb                 Eb (hold out)
Your kingdom come but my will was done, my heart is broken as I...


Chorus:
C#   Ab         F        Eb
Cry___like so many times before
       C#    Ab         F                Eb
but my eyes___are dry before I leave the floor, oh Lord
  C#   Ab     F               Eb            C#
I try___but this time, Jesus, how can I be sure
           Ab              C#
I will not lose my follow through
            Eb              C#   Ab   Eb
Between the altar and the door


Verse2:
            C#    Ab       Eb
Here at the altar, oh my world so black and white
                 C#      Ab
How could I ever falter
            Eb
What you've shown me to be right   (pre-chorus) then (chorus)
