G5                                 D5     C5  D5       C5
The grass looked greener on the other side so I tried to
G5                    D5   C5    D5   C5
Snatch myself from your hand
G5                              D5   C5        D5         C5
Caught a boat to anywhere but Nineveh and, well, you know, I
G5                 D5   C5   D5   C5
Got spit back on dry land.

Give me purity and give me continence
But oh no, not yet
Like a coin hiding in the corner trying not to be swept
I was trying not to be swept.

D5                            C5                   G5
Kicking against these goads sure did cut up my feet
D5                                         C5
And didn't your hands get bloody as you washed them clean.

G5      D5          C5
Here I am again, back where I began
G5   D5                 C5
Try as I may I can't get away from you
G5       D5                    C5
And all of these roads that lead me to roam , bring me back home.
G5      D5         C5             G5      D5     C5
Here I am again, back where I began.

So you have yourself your ninety nine
Isn't that enough for you
Still you followed me to the shadowed valley
Carried me on your shoulders too.

I've done the work of Sisyphus
Thinking that I could get over this hill
But the one thing I can't get over now...(is the)
Is the force of your will.
