Verse 1:
   D                            G          D
Is there something wrong in the way that I think
       D            A       D
Well I think I need all the time
      D                            G          D
Cause there's nothing right in the way that I see
D            A             D
What someone deems true to me


        Em           G                D            A
Oh I've sang for the funeral and I've sang for the wedding
       Em           G             D                   A
Theres no amount of love, no more death that keeps me steady
Em            G              D           A
Thirst in the spring and I'm drowning by fall
   Em           G         D            A            D
If I can't have all of my pain I won't have none at all

Verse 2:
      D                          G             D
Did I say something wrong when I spoke to your son
       D              A      D
When I begged down on bended knees
        D                    G          D
With an ache in my gut and a plea on my tongue
 D                A                  D
Another mouth you couldn't afford to feed


     Em            G             D             A
Oh I prayed on the hilltop and I prayed in the valley
       Em           G              D                  A
Theres no amount of trust, no good plea that makes it holy
Em            G              D           A
Thirst in the spring and I'm drowning by fall
    Em           G         D                    A            Em  G D A
Now what good is acting in faith when you don't have none at all

Bridge:
Em            G              D              A      Em
I've spent my life trying to fit in someone else's skin
Em   G           D               A          Em
Left holding the hopes of what I wished I'd been
Em     G           D            A          Em
So I'm dreaming in fire but I'm smoking in shame
Em      G           D            A           Em
What if I'd burn it off, would I know my own face
Em      G        D    A
What if I became only flame
Em      G        D    A
What if I became only flame
Em         G          D     A
What would be left of me to blame
Em  G              A                       D
How bright would I burn without all of the shame
