G# minorG#m  C# minorC#m

(muted)           G# minorG#m
Oh and God, just leave that Abraham alone
      C# minorC#m
He wants a son, he wants a son
         G# minorG#m
Everybody wants a home

      G# minorG#m
Though I?m not quite sure if poor Isaac would agree
       C# minorC#m
?My God,? he said, ?what did I do
              G# minorG#m
to make you wanna watch me bleed??

      G# minorG#m
And I feel sick tonight, I feel just like
The dancing flame on a funeral light
    C# minorC#m
And I?m not sure if I want you to save me

      G# minorG#m
And I?d be less uptight
if I knew the sight of blood
was just a weakness
  C# minorC#m
And not the whole reason
that you made me
              G# minorG#m
Cause sometimes I think it is

G# minorG#m  C# minorC#m

    G# minorG#m
Oh and God, just go and leave me all alone
       C# minorC#m
I?m not your son, I?m not your son
        G# minorG#m
Everybody dies alone

     G# minorG#m
Was this world just not quite hard enough for you
       C# minorC#m
I guess like anyone you?ve got
             G# minorG#m
Your own scores to settle too

      G# minorG#m
And I?m so pissed tonight, I feel just like
The last remaining Canaanite
   C# minorC#m
And I don?t think that I will be returning

      G# minorG#m
And if you wanna see the irony
And the savage price of piety
     C# minorC#m
There?s a lot of us who are going to be burning
      G# minorG#m
How does it feel?

G# minorG#m  C# minorC#m

    E MajorE
And the sorrow that I know
     BB
when I?m alone, I can?t express
     E MajorE              BB
All these darling angels singing in my ear
    E MajorE
And the comfort of their touch,
       BB
it cuts right through this emptiness
     F#F#                 G# minorG#m
And it?s everything I want and everything I fear

         C# minorC#m
But I don?t fear God!

G# minorG#m  C# minorC#m
Hoooooooo   x2

   E MajorE
That child was my friend
     BB
I spent a long time with his curse
   E MajorE               BB
I can feel him trembling beneath his plea
    E MajorE
I don?t know if there is water
   BB
All I know is there?s this thirst
    F#F#
And it might be for the best
                     G# minorG#m
