Intro: Cadd9 G Em7 (x2)
verse 1
Cadd9 G
They say heaven is a place where all pain is washed away
Em7
With no room for all the torment of choices that we've made
Cadd9 G
I'm a broken man saved by grace tossed alone inside this maze
Em7
And I am just a question to the answer you convey
Pre-Chorus
Cadd9
You've been all the way to broken
D
Lost your sense of where to go
Em7
Love is still the answer more than hate will ever know
Cadd9
It's not too late to be rescued
D
Not too late to let it go
Em7 Cadd9
Remember pain is just an anchor you never had control and
D G
You give us life and meaning
Cadd9
You give us hope
[Refrão] G D Em7 Cadd9 G
So If I can be honest how come I always break my promises to you
D Em7 Cadd9 G
If I'm not afraid why am I so scared to move I'm barely breathing
D Em7 Cadd9 G
And if I can be honest how come I always end up so far away from you
D Bm Cadd9
You made me a promise and I'll always hold it true
Interlude
Em7
verse 2
Cadd9 G
I believe heaven is a place where we'll walk the streets of gold
Em7
But she's seen nothing but the concrete in a world that's left her cold
Cadd9 G
She's been beaten bruised and broken she's felt pain instead of love
Em7
Inside she was an angel but she never know she was
Pre-Chorus
Cadd9
You've been all the way to broken
D
Lost your sense of where to go
Em7
Love is still the answer more than hate will ever know
Cadd9
It's not too late to be rescued
D
Not too late to let it go
Em7 Cadd9
Remember pain is just an anchor you never had control and
D G
You give us life and meaning
Cadd9
You give us hope
[Refrão] G D Em7 Cadd9 G
So If I can be honest how come I always break my promises to you
D Em7 Cadd9 G
If I'm not afraid why am I so scared to move I'm barely breathing
D Em7 Cadd9 G
And if I can be honest how come I always end up so far away from you
D Bm Cadd9
You made me a promise and I'll always hold it true
G D Em7 Cadd9 G
If I can be honest how come I always break my promises to you
D Em7 Cadd9 G
If I'm not afraid why am I so scared to move I'm barely breathing
