Am
We could wrestle with tomorrow
         C
Till tomorrow's in the past
              Dm7
Cause i have torn apart what's beautiful
       F           ( F/G )
To prove that nothing last
                Am
I have stayed locked behind this door
      C
To show there's no way out
         Dm7
I've got lost within the space between
       F               ( F/G )
 the question and the doubt

       Am (you can add G on the first string)
On an ordinary day
       F
In an ordinary way
        Dm7
I have combed the cracks of virtue, 
        F               ( F/G )
for a place to lay the blame
           Am
And I have hated, I have lied
        F
Been guilty and denied
        Dm7
I've dismissed the ones who question me,
    F                 ( F/G )
declaring, "I am right!"

               Am  C
What if I'm wrong?
                 Dm7  F  ( F/G )
What if I'm wrong?

I have built a wall between what I believe and what is true
I have sacrificed the love I have for power over you
I have inflicted those who disagree and walked over the weak
I have placed a gun within the mouth of those who dare to speak

On an ordinary day
In an ordinary way
I have crushed the minds of children with extraordinary shame
I have carried on this war, though no one wins an endless fight
I have claimed that God is guiding me, and killed to prove I'm right

What if I'm wrong? (4x)

      Em               Am
Is this soul worth saving at all?
Em                                 Am
Because if I lose my wings, then surely I must fall
  Dm7           F         ( F/G )
And God, thank..for ..

            C                         Am
We could wrestle with tomorrow till tomorrow's in the past
       Dm7      
We could tear apart what's beautiful 
     F                 ( F/G )
to prove that nothing last
We could stay locked behind the doors to show there's no way out
We got lost within the space between the question and the doubt

                  Am
What if we're wrong?
