Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
A minorAm               E MajorE
Here in this darkness that I lay
              E minorEm
Depression heavy in its way
              F6F6
And how my body aches to leave
       E MajorE      A minorAm
And sing its final eulogy
              E MajorE
My sons I love you evermore
                   E minorEm
And though the road beckons once more
                F6F6
I see the damage that I've done
        E MajorE
And search for redemption
   A minorAm
But I am just a broken man
   E MajorE
Whose soul cries out to understand
E minorEm
How the madness shatters me
 F6F6        E MajorE
Upon the stage on bended knee
    A minorAm
I scream aloud at skies above
   E MajorE
That answer mute, bereft in love
 E minorEm
I struggle not to fall from grace
 F6F6        E MajorE       FF
I sing the hymns of my disgrace


Chorus:
       Asus4Asus4       A minorAm
We build cathedrals to our pain
       C majorC      FF
Establish monuments to attain
       Asus4Asus4           E MajorE
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins
                  A minorAm
Lest we drown in the darkness within


Verse 2:
A minorAm            E MajorE
Mystery's forgotten chords
                 E minorEm
I strum in vain to please the lord
              F6F6
But he has never answered me
         E MajorE      A minorAm
And faith has waned eternally
              E MajorE
In empty men who pass along
                E minorEm
The woes of all religions wrong
                 F6F6
And now the shadowed veil it falls
       E MajorE
Heed the clarion call
    A minorAm
So pray to music build a shrine
E MajorE
Worship in these desperate times
E minorEm
Fill your heart with every note
F6F6       E MajorE
Cherish it and cast afloat
      A minorAm
Because God is in these clef and tone
E MajorE
Salvation is found alone
E minorEm
Haunted by its melody
F6F6       E MajorE                  FF
Music, it will set you free (let it set you free)

Chorus:
       Asus4Asus4       A minorAm
We build cathedrals to our pain
       C majorC      FF
Establish monuments to attain
       Asus4Asus4           E MajorE
Freedom from all of the scars and the sins
                  A minorAm
Lest we drown in the darkness within
