Intro: D A D A D A F A


F                       C
On the precipice of nothing new 
A                    C
Fell into question all I held as truth 
F                               C
It seems there's holes in all my fairy tales 
             A                  C
Despite my passion to preach them well 


F                               C       
A yell hushed after many long worn years 
                   A                    C
Not a failure to launch, but to persevere 
F                               C       
Being one so close to write upon my arm 
        A                  C
A testament I've since torn apart 
        A                  C
A testament I've since torn apart 


A
All these rings around my wrists 
          C                  F
How they scream who I am in this 
C               F 
Who I am in this 


F                   C
I'm not sanctified and I'm not free 
            A                       C
There's no love that's come to rescue me 
          F                     C       
Bend my heart and even break my knees 
               A                          C
But it's these chains that are defining me 
                  A                   C
Yeah it's these chains that are defining me 


          F                     C
Sin is all I've been able to wield 
              A                      C
It's been my sword and even been my shield 
                F                     C
And death O' death is my only home 
            A                          C
A grave so familiar I could call it my own 


                F                     C
'Cause a loving grace could only go so far 
                   A                        C
As to show my wounds and reveal my scars 
        F                  C
A medicine I've taken to get well 
               A                        C
But the aftertaste is that of my own hell 
               A                        C
Yeah the aftertaste is that of my own hell 


F                   C
I'm not sanctified and I'm not free 
            A                       C
There's no love that's come to rescue me 
          F                     C       
Bend my heart and even break my knees 
               A                          C
But it's these chains that are defining me 
                  A                   C
Yeah it's these chains that are defining me 
               F                          C
Oh it's these chains that are defining me 


          F                          C
I met Jesus, yeah he came to me 
               A                        C
And he said "Son, do you want to believe?" 
            F                       C
I cried "Oh help me from the grave I'm in, 
                 A                      C
And teach me life and who I really am." 
                 A                      F
And teach me life and who I really am." 
F
Who I am, Who I am, 
F
Oh god who I am
F
Who I am, Who I am
F
Who I am, Who I am
F
Who I am


F                   C
I'm not sanctified and I'm not free 
            A                       C
There's no love that's come to rescue me 
          F                     C       
Bend my heart and even break my knees 
               A                          C
But it's these chains that are defining me 


F                   C
I'm not sanctified and I'm not free 
            A                       C
There's no love that's come to rescue me 
          F                     C       
Bend my heart and even break my knees 
               A                          C
But it's these chains that are defining me 
                  A                   C
Yeah it's these chains that are defining me
