Chords with lyrics

[Intro]
G+G C majorC G+G C majorC

[Verse 1]
G+G            C majorC
You were a friend to me when my wheels were off the track
  A minorAm               C majorC      D7D7
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      D7D7
You shined a light on me and I intend to pay it back

[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 D7D7   G+G
Is that no one is fine
     D7D7   G+G           E minorEm
Take the time to peel a few layers and you will find
C majorC D MajorD G+G
True sadness

[Verse 2]
G+G           C majorC
When I was a child, I depended on a bottle
A minorAm              C majorC     D MajorD
Full-grown I've been known to lean on a bottle
  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 D7D7   G+G
Is that no one is fine
     D7D7   G+G           E minorEm
Take the time to peel a few layers and you will find
C majorC D MajorD G+G
True sadness

[Verse 3]
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
   E minorEm         D7D7
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?
       E minorEm          C majorC             A minorAm
Does she not dream to sing and to live and to dance down her own path
       D7D7
Without being torn apart?
          C majorC
Does she not have a heart?

[Verse 4]
 G+G           C majorC
I cannot go on with this evil inside me
 A minorAm              C majorC     D7D7
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      D7D7
Even though the battle is bound to continue

[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 D7D7   G+G
Is that no one is fine
     D7D7   G+G           E minorEm
Take the time to peel a few layers and you will find
E minorEm  C majorC
True sadness
E minorEm  C majorC
True sadness
C majorC  D MajorD  G+G
True true sadness

[Outro]
