Intro:
G+G A minorAm C majorC
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
G+G A minorAm C majorC
Pages filled cover the floor all covered up with ink
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
Words written over coffee document my struggling
G+G A minorAm C majorC
Those mornings spent sitting alone, mourning alone in grief
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
For all I killed in search of honesty
G+G A minorAm C majorC
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
G+G A minorAm C majorC
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
G+G A minorAm C majorC
See, I used to be a mustard seed shouting at the mountain
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
I used to hang my head when it stayed far from the ocean
G+G A minorAm C majorC
I used to claim its failure from the depths of depression
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
Well, I cried to god but god did not respond
G+G A minorAm C majorC
And like a barrel-chested strongman I suspended disbelief
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
I held it high over my head though all the weight was staggering
G+G A minorAm C majorC
But legs buckled and muscles burned, in came gravity
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
I dropped it all, faced what I'd been avoiding
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
Yeah, I dropped it all, faced what I'd been avoid...
G+G
What I'd been avoiding
A minorAm C majorC
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
G+G A minorAm C majorC
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
G+G A minorAm C majorC
For many years I walked that road, for many years I tried
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
So earnestly I sought the relationship advertised
G+G A minorAm C majorC
But my empty hands and my empty heart could no longer be denied
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
Oh yeah, I quit. I forfeit eternal life
G+G
And I did not take inheritance when I left to go away
D MajorD
Yeah, I did what was commanded when that rich man asked to be saved
A minorAm
I left my friends, my family behind all for heaven's sake
C majorC
I am no prodigal
G+G
And this is no mistake
C majorC
Oh, this is no mistake
E minorEm
Well, this is no mistake
C majorC
Well, I am no mistake
A minorAm G+G A minorAm Amadd9Amadd9 C majorC
C (Strumming pattern changes at one point)
G+G A minorAm C majorC
So I'm sorry mom, I'm sorry dad, I really want you to be proud
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
I don't want to disappoint you all, I don't want to let you down
G+G A minorAm C majorC
But I have stopped searching for truth hiding behind heaven's cloud
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
Don't save my place, of this race I do bow out
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
Don't save my place, oh, of this race I do bow...
G+G A minorAm C majorC
Well, I bow out
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
Yeah, I bow out
