Tabbed by: cramboneUSF

Notes:
This is a simple tab that may not be 100% correct but I did not see it anywhere else on
the Internet so I figured it out as best I could.  I didn't try the intro or anything
because I am strictly a rhythm guitar player :).  This tab is written for a distorted 
rhythm guitar and is meant to be played with power chords so I honestly don't know if some of
these chords are minors or majors.  But hey, you're only playing the root, fifth and 
octave so it really doesn't matter, does it?!?!

Anyway, if it's wrong don't shoot the messenger.  This is an awesome song that has a
good message so enjoy!

Of note - I play the F up on the neck (high) instead of the open (low) position because
it sounds more like the recording.

Intro:
C   Ab   Eb   Bb               x2

Verse 1:
C                     Ab
There's a me that I don't really like
Eb                  Bb
A me that says I'm
C                     Ab
In control til the day that I die
Eb                  Bb
And I don't know why
C                     Ab
I push, I pull, I fight, I fall
Eb                  Bb
I end up crawling back to
C                     Ab
That place where I figure it out
Eb                  Bb
That I, that I, that I

Verse 2:
C                     Ab
There's a change when I swallow my pride
Eb                  Bb
And I surrender
C                     Ab
There's a peace when I open my eyes
Eb                  Bb
Cause I remember
C                     Ab
To live's to die, to fall's to rise
Eb                  Bb
To kneel's to find the Savior
C                     Ab
Here I am and I've figured it out
Eb                  Bb
Tonight tonight tonight...

My pride, my life, my all
