God Deciding chords by Chuck Ragan

Guitar chords with lyrics

I thought I'd upload this as it is a fully class song, originally by Hot Water
Music, but then done as a solo artist by Chuck Ragan. The bear man himself. It's
pretty hard to recognise where the verses space, if at all, so I've just dissected them myself.

Intro: C#5
Verse 1:
Asus2
Transgressions are made
E
while cowards convey with a demon's ear,
                           C#5
fixed and set to slay.
                                E
While the statue awaits to be whittled away
                                                                      C#5
with a mock of a slogan hiding filth with fear.
                    E
Never to learn, only to burn...and be burned.
C#5
Branded straight through slate.
                             Aus2
Clear as common day.
C#5
What shall be the mark to be made?
Chorus:
         B5
When we crush it all to burn it down
                                             C#5
without sight, without sound.
                                                                               Asus2
Not anything but a casualty forgotten in the ground.
                                                  C#5
A simple shell, that's solemn still--without sight, without sound.
Interlude: C#5

Verse 2:
Asus2
Make a martyr, a pedestal with ribbons of slaughter.
                           E
Feed the altar, stoke the fire it will take over.
                                                                                      C#5
Ignore the cut... the skin with callus as well as interest.
                              E
If all are reckless none is to profit, none is to win it.
Asus2
So who will pay for all the years, all the lives, from either side?
                                    E
All the tales, all the time of living blind playing "God Deciding?"
                            E
And who will die, next in line , for the lie: justified
                                    Asus2
For the rise, sitting high playing "God Deciding?"
 C#5
Walk away from the rage and revenge?
C#5
Inhumane consequence comes in time playing "God Deciding."
                                               E
And who will fall in line to arrive out of sight and out of mind?

Outro:
E
Out of mind?
