• Capo on 3rd

Key: Gm

Intro:

Em C D Em


Verse 1:
Em
The only reason I am here
         C
is 'cause to us all he made it clear
D                                    Em
He'd like for me to sit here at your table
Em
For other guests you poured the wine
    C
You got to me in your sweet time
D                              Em
When you finally found me fit and able
Em
If he were here he'd pour my drink
C

Set it down before he'd
D                                     Em
even think to take a sip to cure his own thirst
Em
To sit here with your smiles fake
    C
Or stand outsidе with swallowed hate
     D                            A
Well I havе not decided which is worse


Chorus:
        C  D             Am
Are you free or are you hiding
          C               D                Em
From the things you don't agree with or believe in?
          C            D                      Am
Skim the text, find the lines that feed your purpose
         C                  D             Em
It's so easy to love your brother on the surface


Verse 2:
   Em
I know how quickly things can change
         C
They'll turn their backs, curse your name
     D                  Em
For situations seeming predetermined
Em
And if your footing can't be found
        C
They'll shout at you to turn around
        D                                Em
Meaning well, but clearly lacking understanding
Em
It's true, it wasn't long ago
    C
I traveled down a crooked road
     D                          Em
That ended in explosions, consequences
Em
I fought the bottle with the sword
    C
But won the battle with the Lord
   D                             A
A power that believes in second chances


Chorus:
        C  D             Am
Are you free or are you hiding
           C                D              Em
From the things you don't agree with or believe in?
          C              D                    Am
Skim the text, find the lines that feed your purpose
         C                  D             Em
It's so easy to love your brother on the surface


Solo:
Em C D Em
Em C D Em


Verse 3:
    Em  N.C.
The only reason we are here
     C  N.C.
is 'cause the spirit made it clear
      D   N.C.                          Em  N.C.
That love is not reserved just for our own kind
    Em
It travels over many shores
         C
Through rivers, canyons, prison doors
    D                             A
And I believe it travels all the time
