Can  
E 
anyone tell me  
Emaj9 
how, how we

E 
ourselves?
 
I?ve been for
C#m 
given of things only  
Ab 
God knows, but I  
A 
can?t forgive my
Am 
self
 
After  
E 
all of my searching  
E/C 
I found who I  
C#m 
am, and it?s not what I  
E 
wanted
 
But I?m  
C#m 
here now, and I?m  
F#maj 
broken, come  
A2 
save me from this  
E 
hell

Verse 1:
 
A2 
The earth falls  
B 
asleep much too early for  
Abm 
me
 
I close my  
C#m 
eyes but  
B 
I can?t  
A2 
rest
 
My body is  
B 
tired, my mind is  
Abm 
running
 
From the  
C#m 
past to the  
B 
east to the  
F#m 
west
 
Trying to  
Abm 
find the blame that you?ve  
A2 
already taken from  
A2 
me

Verse 2:
 
A2 
I?m convinced that the  
B 
world that we see is a  
Abm 
curtain
C#m 
Behind which  
B 
vast realms  
A2 
await 
 
us
 
Of uncharted  
B 
marvels and oceans of  
Abm 
mercy inside my  
C#m 
Father?s 
 
 
B 
eyes
A2 
And the mountains are  
B 
grandstands, that  
Abm 
sheets of blue sky rest  
C#m 
up
B 
on
F#m 
Peeled back with  
Abm 
ease by your hands to  
A2 
reveal a glory I?ve  
A2 
never 
 
seen

Bridge:
 
I want to  
E 
pay for the things I?ve  
E/C 
done, and the people I?ve  
C#m 
hurt, get what I  
D 
deserve
 
But you won?t  
A 
let me,  
B 
no, you won?t  
E 
let 
 
me

Outro:
 
My  
E 
hope is in the unseen  
C 
 
My  
E 
hope is in the unseen  
C 
 
My  
E 
hope is in the  
Emaj9 
unseen, cause I  
A2 
see no hope in  
E 
me
