it lay inside

this next line is uncertain:

C     G/B     G     Em     D
for all my life

G*
Tear this anger from my soul
        D               Am
Wash me clean and leave me whole
C
Leave me higher
G*
Work my hands to make them strong
         D             Am
Lift my arms to carry on
C
That anywhere I go
   G       D
To never be alone

(repeat chorus)
Am                  D
We were always leaving
Am                    D
Since we stopped breathing
Am         G     
And running back no wonder
C        D           G*
We are torn asunder
(solo- should i try and tab it?)

C   G   D     Em   G   A
C   G   Em   D

Em     G     A
to give me life
