And nothing to justify

Verse 2 (same as the first)
Once I had a calling
This town praised my hands
Now I'm sculpting apologies
Cause folks they don't understand
CHORUS 2 (same as the first chorus except the last chord does not resolve to a G,
rather it pulls to E minorEm to start the bridge, so the last line should be as follows:)
E minorEm
Observe the world below
Bridge:
B7B7
G*(32000x)
I could change myself
C majorC
There's so much else I could do

I was deeper than dailyness

I was made to be manifest
G+G
The art like an amethyst of truth

I know, it's only too clear
Spiders spin their webs year after year
I never had that kind of resolve
To know my fear, to face it at all

With promises remote
