Chords with lyrics

CAPO II

G+G C majorC G+G C majorC

G+G            C majorC
you were a friend to me when my wheels were off the track
  A minorAm               C majorC      D MajorD
and though you say there is no need i intend to pay you back

G+G                 C majorC
when my mind was turning loose and all my thoughts were turning black
A minorAm              C majorC      D MajorD
you shined a light on me and i intend to pay you back

G+G           C majorC
when i was a child i depended on a bottle
  A minorAm              C majorC     D MajorD
and full grown i've been known to lean on a bible

  G+G             C majorC
but you're the real deal in a world of imposters
  A minorAm             C majorC     D MajorD
and i've seen the program make men out of monsters

(Chorus)
    C majorC        G+G
'cause i still wake up shaken by dreams
  C majorC            G+G
and i hate to say it but the way it seems
    C majorC D MajorD   G+G     C majorC
is that no one is fine
     D MajorD    G+G
take the time to peel a few layers
  E minorEm
and you will find
C majorC D MajorD G+G
true sadness

G+G           C majorC
adam and eve must have really done a number
    A minorAm       C majorC     D MajorD
on that garden when the apple was finished

G+G           C majorC
leaving behind them a den made of sadness
  A minorAm          C majorC     D MajorD
and damn if that can't or won't be replenished

(Chorus)

C majorC        G+G
angela became a target
  D MajorD           G+G
as soon as her beauty was seen
  C majorC           G+G
by young men who try to reduce her down
   A minorAm         D MajorD
to a scene on an x-rated screen
      C majorC             G+G
is she not more than the curve of her hips
      C majorC             G+G
is she not more than the shine on her lips
       C majorC          G+G             D MajorD
does she not dream to see and to live and to dance down her own path
A minorAm      D MajorD
without being torn apart
          C majorC
does she not have a heart

 G+G           C majorC
i cannot go on with this evil inside me
 A minorAm              C majorC     D MajorD
i step out my front door and i feel it surround me

   G+G          C majorC
just know the kingdom of god is within you
A minorAm            C majorC      D MajorD
even though the battle is bound to continue

(Chorus)

E minorEm  C majorC
true sadness
E minorEm  C majorC
true sadness
(C majorC) D MajorD  G+G
true true sadness

(ending)
