Isaiah 45 23 chords by The Mountain Goats

G

     G
If my prayer be not humble make it so
         C
In these last hours if the Spirit waits in check help me let it go
     C
And should my suffering double let me never love You less
    G
Let every knee be bent, and every tongue confess


      G
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free
           G
Cause I am not this body that imprisons me

  G
I read the magazines somebody brought
C
Hold them to my failing eyes until my hands get hot
    C
And when the nurse comes in to change my sheets and clothes
     G
The pain begins to travel, dancing as it goes



      G
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free
           G
Cause I am not this body that imprisons me



G   x4


    G
If my prayer goes unanswered that's alright
    C
If my path fills with darkness and there is no sign of light
       C
Let me praise You for the good times, let me hold Your banner high
G
Until the hills are flattened and the rivers all run dry



      G
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free
           G
Cause I am not this body that imprisons me
