This is almost the same version of the song that is already on here, but the chords are 
with all the lyrics.

   Am7                    F
Oh my God, look around this place,
          C
Fingers reach around the bone,
            Gsus4                G
You set the break, you set the tone,
            Am7                F
Flights of grace, and future falls,
            C            Gsus4     G
In present pain, all fools      say,
       F   C   G    F   C   G
Oh my God

Am7                    F
Oh my God, why are we so afraid?
          C
We make it worse when we don't bleed,
            Gsus4
There is no cure for our disease,
        Am7                F
Turn a phrase, and rise again,
            C            Gsus4     G
Or fake your death, and only tell, your closest friends,
       F   C   G    F   C   G
Oh my God


Am7                    F
Oh my God, can I complain?
          C
You take away my firm belief
            Gsus4
And graft my soul upon your grief
        Am7                F
Weddings, boats, and alibis,
C
All drift away

 Gsus4     G
And a mother cries

(no chords played until indicated)

Liars and fools, sons and failures,

Theives will always say
               F    G
Lost and found,   ailing wanderers,
  C             F
Healers always say
  Am7               G
Whores and angels, men with problems,
  C             F
Leavers always say

              F     G
Broken hearted, seperated,
C               F
Orphans always say
Am7              G
War-creators, racial-haters,
C                 F
Preachers always say
              F            G
Distant fathers, fallen warriors,

C              F
Givers always say
Am7              G
Pilgrim saints, lonely widows,
C             F
Users always say
             F                 G
Fearful mothers, watchful doubters,
C               F
Saviors always say

Am7
Sometimes I cannot forgive
     G
And these days mercy cuts so deep
 C
If the world was how it should be
 F
Maybe I could get some sleep
 Am7
While I lay I dream we're better
  G
Scales were gone and faces lighter
 C
When we wake we hate our brother
F
We still move to hurt each other

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

Am7
Sometimes I can close my eyes
     G
And all the fear that keeps me silent
C
Falls below my heavy breathing
F
What makes me so badly bent
Am7
We all have a chance to murder
  G
We all feel the need for wonder
C
We still want to be reminded
F
That the pain is worth the thunder

Am7
Sometimes when I lose my grip
     G
I wonder what to make of Heaven
C
All the times I thought to reach up
F
All the times I had to give up
Am7
Babies underneath their beds
  G
Hospitals that cannot treat
C
All the wounds that money causes
F
All the comforts of cathedrals
Am7
All the cries of thirsty children
     G
This is our inheritance
C
All the rage of watching mothers
F
This is our greatest offence


Am7
Oh my God, Oh my God,
Oh my God
