[Verse 1]

D5
Hey redeemer now what`s become of me?
F5                      C5
Taken in by promise, awakening in grief
D5
Collecting us like puppets you instrumentalize
F5                          C5
A frigid trepidation in a million puppet eyes


[Pre-Chorus]

Bb5            F5                  Bb5                 C5
God gave His word just to let us down, where is He now?


[Chorus]

G5                   D5
You've been facing heaven
          C5                           A5            D5
You were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and
G5              D5
Found another heaven
        C5                           A5               D5
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land


[Pre-Verse]

D5  D5  D5  F5


[Verse 2]

D5
You scratched my back and I scratched yours
F5                                    C5
It's you who makes decisions, I just open up the doors
D5
Whining in the gutter they forget their sanctity
F5                            C5
Welcome to my clockwork vanity machinery


[Pre-Chorus]

Bb5             F5                Bb5             C5
You gave your word, you let me down what am I now?


[Chorus]

G5                   D5
You've been facing heaven
          C5                           A5            D5
You were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and
G5              D5
Found another heaven
        C5                           A5               D5         C5
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land


[Bridge]

C5                E5
Oh as far as the eye can see
                    C5               E5
They're bent in submission, empty inside
            C5                                E5
An army of scarecrows like me, thousands of broken dreams
              C5                                 E5
Thousands of tragedies tried to run from their destiny
                     C5                D5
Oh, like moths to a flame, driven by vanity
                       C5                   D5                D5
They've been off to Jerusalem , chasing a dream , calling on me
                       D5
We're just trading in needs


[Pre-Verse] in place of the guitar solo

D5  D5  D5  F5


[Chorus] x2

G5                   D5
You've been facing heaven
          C5                           A5            D5
You were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and
G5              D5
Found another heaven
        C5                           A5               D5
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land


[End]
