🤘 Verse 1:
E5
 How do you read a madman's mind?
                     C
Teach me the art of war
E5                                             C
 For I shall bring more than you bargained for
E5
 Give me an ultimatum
                       C
That I could not dream of
E5                                      C
 Spills of a crying nation upon my soul

🤘 Pre-Chorus 1:
    B5   C5   G5    A5     E5
For I   have not a mortal soul
  B5  C5  G5   A5     E5
That you  al--ready know
 C   G   D/F#  Em
Look at my     eyes
  C      G  D/F#  Bm   C   D
There’s no sur--prise


🤘 Chorus:
Em              C
 Ocean is black, the devil's track
Am          D
 Looking beyond beneath the sea
Em               C
 Eye of the storm is here again
Am             D
 Been there before you were ever born
Em               C
Beyond the dark, I feel the pain
Am            D
 It's hidden but I can’t explain
Em               C
 A cross to bear, a heavy faith
Am           D             Em   C
 My sorrow whispers time again


Post-🤘 Chorus:
   D5   E5  D5   G5   F#5  E5   C5
I hear you cal--ling my   name
      D5  E5   D5  G5  F#5  E5   C5
Come to claim my  life a---gain
      D5  E5  D5  G5    F#5   E5   C5
Pray for me   I'm al---most there
         D5  E5   D5  G5   F#5
The pain al-most too much to bear


🤘 Verse 2:
E5
 I try to find my way back home
                   C
To feel the same again
E5                                          C
 The voice of nothing listened far too long
E5
 Little by little eat away
                      C
I think I've lost my mind
E5                                         C
 Too late to change now what I left behind


🤘 Pre-Chorus 2:
 B5   C5  G5   A5     E5
Hear me, lis--ten my call
B5 C5  G5   A5    E5
I  am rea--dy to fall
 C    G    D/F#  Em
Lord hear me    now
 C   G   D/F#
Let me
 Bm   C   D
Go
