A5      B5                        A5
I am the only one to blame for this,
A5          B5                   F#5
Somehow it all adds up the same,
A5            B5            A5
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride,

I flew too high 
          A5    B5      F#5
and like, Icarus I collide
      C#5            B5               A5
With a world I try so hard to leave behind,
            C#5        B5                   A5
To rid myself of all but love to give and die,


            B5                A5
To turn away and not become,
A5       B5                 F#5           F#5
Another nail to pierce the skin of One who loves,
           A5               B5
More deeply than the oceans,
             F#5                         A5           B5    
More abundant than the tears of a world embracing ev'ry heartache
F#5

C#5                 B5             A5
Can I be the one to sacrifice,
           C#5            B5            A5
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow?

(Refr?o)


       C#5      E5                       A5
To love You - take my world apart
                    C#5
To need You - I am on my knee 
               E5                     A5
To love You - take my world apart
                       B5   C#5
To need You - broken on my knees


A5               B5                            A5
All said and done I stand alone,
A5             B5                 F#5
Amongst remains of a life I should not own.
A5                B5                A5
It takes all I am to believe,
           A5              B5             F#5
In the mercy that covers me.
C#5            B5                A5
Did You really have to die for me.
           C#5
All I am for all You are,
            B5                                      A5
Cause what I need and what I believe are worlds apart.  I pray

(Bridge)
C#5                        B5
I look beyond the empty cross forgetting what my life 
            A5
has cost and wipe away the crimson stains and dull the 
                    C#5
nails that still remain.  More and more I need You now,  
B5                                 A5
I owe You more each passing hour.  The battle between 
                                      C#5
grace and pride.  I gave up not so long ago.  So, steal 
                    B5
my heart and take the pain.  Wash the feet cleanse my 
         A5
pride.  Take the selfish take the weak and all the things I 
                C#5                     B5
cannot hide.  Take the beauty take my tears, sin-soaked 
                  A5
heart, and make it Yours.  Take my world apart, take it 
                  C#5
now, take it now.  And serve the ones that I despise 

                        To                love                  You
           E5                       B5   A5
speak the words I can't deny.  Watch the world I used to 

           take        my       world apart

                     To    need              You
                               C#5
know, fall to dust and thrown away.  I look beyond the 

        I        am               on     my         knees

                              To          love        You
            E5                      B5           A5
empty cross forgetting what my life has cost.  So, wipe 

                  take            my      world        apart

                              To      need

away the crimson stains and dull the nails that still 

                        broken           on

               You
       B5          C#5                                          B5
remain.  So, steal my heart and take the pain, take the 

          my           knees

           To           love              You
        B5            A5
selfish take the weak, and all the things I cannot hide.  

            To          need               You
                             C#5
Take the beauty, take my tears.  Take my world apart.  

            On             my      knees

                      To       love            You
       B5         B5      A5
Take my world apart.  And I pray.  And I pray.  And I 

               To need       You                            on
           C#5    B5            B5           A5
pray.                Take my world apart.                       

My     knees
            B5      A5
Worlds apart.
