F#7sus 2 4 4 4 0 0 ("Real" way: I like the previous version although
that's not quite the way it sounds on the album)
A(9) Bsus A(9)
I am the only one to blame for this
A(9) Bsus F#7sus
Somehow it all ends up the same
A(9) Bsus C#m7
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
A(9) Bsus F#7sus
I flew too high and like Icharus I collide
C#m7 Bsus A(9) A(9)
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
C#m7 Bsus A(9) A(9)
To rid myself of all but love, to give and die
A(9) Bsus A(9)
To turn away and not become
A(9) Bsus F#7sus
Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
A(9) Bsus C#m7
More deeply than the oceans, more abundant than the tears
A(9) Bsus F#7sus
Of a world embracing every heartache
C#m7 Bsus A(9) A(9)
Can I be the one to sacrifice
C#m7 Bsus A(9) A(9)
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow
[Chorus]
C#m7
(To love you)
E A(9)
Take my world a - part
(To need you)
A(9) C#m7
I am on my knees
(To love you)
E A(9)
Take my world a - part
(To need you)
A(9) C#m7 Bsus A(9) A(9)
Broken on my knees
A(9) Bsus A(9)
All said and done I stand alone
A(9) Bsus F#7sus
Amongst remains of a life I should not own
A(9) Bsus C#m7
It takes all I am to believe
A(9) Bsus F#7sus
In the mercy that covers me
C#m7 Bsus A(9) A(9)
Did you really have to die for me
C#m7 Bsus
All I am for all you are because what I need
A(9)
And what I believe are worlds apart
A(9)
And I pray
[Chorus]
C#m7 Bsus A(9) A(9)
On my knees
C#m
I look beyond the empty cross
B
Forgetting what my life has cost
A(9)
I wipe away the crimson stains
A(9)
And all the nails that still remain
C#m
More and more I need you now
B
I owe you more each passing hour
A(9)
The battle between grace and pride
A(9)
I gave up not so long ago
C#m
So steal my heart and take the pain
B
And wash the feet and cleanse my pride
A(9)
Take the selfish, take the weak
A(9)
And all the things I cannot hide
C#m
Take the beauty, take my tears
B
My sinful soiled heart, make it pure
A(9)
Take my world, it all is yours
A(9)
Take it now, take it now
C#m7 C#m7
To serve the ones that I despise (To love you)
E E A(9)
Speak the words I can't deny Take my world a - part
(To need you)
A(9)
And watch the world I used to know
A(9) A(9) C#m7
Fall to dust and blow away I am on my knees
(To love you)
C#m7
I look beyond the empty cross
E E A(9)
Forgetting what my life has cost Take my world a - part
(To need you)
A(9)
So wipe away the crimson stains
A(9) A(9) C#m7
And all the nails that still remain Broken on my knees
(To need you)
C#m7
And steal my heart and take the pain
Bsus
And take the selfish, take the weak
A(9) A(9)
And all the things I cannot hide (To need you)
A(9)
Take the beauty, take my tears
C#m7 C#m7
Take my world apart On my knees
(To need you)
Bsus
Take my world apart
A(9) A(9)
And I do pray (To need you)
A(9)
And I pray, and I pray
C#m7 Bsus A(9) A(9) C#m7
Take my world apart On my knees
A(9) Bsus A(9)
My worlds apart
