   Am7 (x02010@1)                  FOh (133211@1)my God, look around this place,
          CFingers (x32010@1)reach around the bone,
            Gsus (3x0013@1)              GYou (320003@1)set the break, you set the tone,
            Am7 (x02010@1)              FFlights (133211@1)of grace, and future falls,
            C (x32010@1)          Gsus (3x0013@1)   GIn (320003@1)present pain, all fools      say,

Am7 (x02010@1)                  FOh (133211@1)my God, why are we so afraid?
          CWe (x32010@1)make it worse when we don't bleed,
            GsusThere (3x0013@1)is no cure for our disease,
        Am7 (x02010@1)              FTurn (133211@1)a phrase, and rise again,
            C (x32010@1)          Gsus (3x0013@1)   GOr (320003@1)fake your death, and only tell, your closest friends,
       F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) G (320003@1)  F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) GOh (320003@1)my God


Am7 (x02010@1)                  FOh (133211@1)my God, can I complain?
          CYou (x32010@1)take away my firm belief
            GsusAnd (3x0013@1)graft my soul upon your grief
        Am7 (x02010@1)              FWeddings, (133211@1)boats, and alibis,
CAll (x32010@1)drift away

 Gsus (3x0013@1)   GAnd (320003@1)a mother cries

 CIf (x32010@1)the world was how it should be
 FMaybe (133211@1)I could get some sleep
 Am7
While I lay I dream we're better
  GScales (320003@1)were gone and faces lighter
 CWhen (x32010@1)we wake we hate our brother
FWe (133211@1)still move to hurt each other

(The chords for the rest of the song are as above)

Am7Sometimes (x02010@1)I can close my eyes
     GAnd (320003@1)all the fear that keeps me silent
CFalls (x32010@1)below my heavy breathing
FWhat (133211@1)makes me so badly bent
Am7We (x02010@1)all have a chance to murder
  GWe (320003@1)all feel the need for wonder
CWe (x32010@1)still want to be reminded
FThat (133211@1)the pain is worth the thunder

Am7Sometimes (x02010@1)when I lose my grip
     GI (320003@1)wonder what to make of Heaven
CAll (x32010@1)the times I thought to reach up
FAll (133211@1)the times I had to give up
Am7Babies (x02010@1)underneath their beds
  GHospitals (320003@1)that cannot treat
CAll (x32010@1)the wounds that money causes
FAll (133211@1)the comforts of cathedrals
Am7All (x02010@1)the cries of thirsty children
     GThis (320003@1)is our inheritance
CAll (x32010@1)the rage of watching mothers
FThis (133211@1)is our greatest offence


Am7Oh (x02010@1)my God, Oh my God,
Oh my God
