🤘 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

Lord hear me  now
 C  G  D/F#
Let me
 Bm  C  D
Go
