C /// | Am/C /// | C /// | Am/C ///


Verse 1:
C                                Am/C
 The morning comes like an enemy soldier
C                                Am/C
 I feel the weight across my shoulders
Am                             F
  I feel the shadows getting colder
               C    Am/C
But that ain’t you
C                               Am/C
 This noose ain’t getting any looser
C                            Am/C
 I get so fearful about the future
Am             G           F
  I hear the shame of my accuser
               C    E7
But that ain’t you

Chorus:
        F                                     C
I found strength, but it wasn’t what I thought
        F                            C
I found peace in the places I forgot
        F                                         E/G#
I found riches ain’t the things that I had bought
        Am                    G
I found out the day I lost myself

Was the day that I found God


Instrumental:

Verse 2:
C                               Am/C
 I get caught chasing my own illusions
C                           Am/C
 I get so lost in these confusions
Am           G                  F
 I keep on looking for my own solutions
               C               E7
But that ain’t you, that ain’t you no


Chorus:
          F                             C
My enemies weren’t the ones I had fought
                F                                 C
And my liberties weren’t the freedoms I had sought
       F                                          E/G#
What I learned weren’t the lessons I’d been taught
        Am                   G
I found out the day I lost myself

Was the day that I found God


Instrumental:

Bridge:
Am                          F2
  Where is God out in the darkness?
Am                                            F2
  ’Cause the voices in my head ain’t talking honest
Am                                G       F2
 They’re saying maybe you made us then forgot us
               C               E7
But that ain’t you, that ain’t you no


Chorus:
          F                                     C
And all I know is that I still don’t know a lot
                    F                                    C
I don’t know how it ends, I’m in the middle of this plot
                  F                               E/G#
Yeah, and I found grace for the man that I am not
              Am                    G
Yeah, I found out the day I lost myself
              Am                    G/B
Yeah, I found out the day I lost myself
              Am                    G
Yeah, I found out the day I lost myself
                            C   Am/C
Was the day that I found God
