Verse 1:
E
Batter my heart o God
                                     G#m                          C#m      A                      
Break the walls of this life you seek to mend
            E
Shatter my reason God
                                          G#m                        C#m      A
Snap this wreath that has only learned to bend
                     E
I've heard of your greatness God
                                G#m                            C#m      B
Still I can't seem to escape this mess I'm in
A
I don't know what else to do
                 B
I only can turn to you

Chorus:
A                                          E

Let your love take it's toll

I've been betrothed to your enemy

I've ruined everything I control



Verse: 2
E
Have we been praying Lord
                                     G#m                           C#m      A
Or just searching for a power to call our own
                    E
Wishing for miracles
                                               G#m                        C#m       A
While sitting safe among the last unbroken hopes
                           E
I've struggled to let you in
                             G#m                         C#m      B
Just to end up the same unfinished soul
A
But I can't make you move in me
                       B                                (A into Chorus)
The One who moves everything

(Chorus)

Bridge:
B   C#m           A
Only make me yours
                 B
If you can take away this 
       C#m    A                           B                E
heatbeat in me that makes me turn away


Chorus
A                                          E
So be severe in your mercy 
A                                          E 
Let your love take it's toll
A                                         C#m    B    A
I've been betrothed to your enemy

I've ruined everything
                  C#m  B  A   E
I've ruined everything I've controled
