[Intro]
Em Bm Em Em
[Verse 1]
Em Bm Em
Well I'm afraid I'm not supposed to be like this
Em Bm Em
Like I was born in a land where no serpent hissed
Am (Bm) C
And I have waited a long time for Your kiss
[Verse 2]
Em Bm Em
Well I have felt that they'd all take offense at me
Em Bm Em
And so a fence I have built to protect the seed
Am (Bm) C
But all the bricks will secure its mortality
[Chorus 1]
G D/F# Em
I have been seated in circles and stood in disgrace
Am B
At the noted intention to be in place
G D/F# Em
And I have seen that one man saved the human race
C B7
But it took His life and it took His faith
[Turnaround]
Em Bm Em Em
[Verse 3]
Em Bm Em
I have risen from ashes and fed on flames
Em Bm Em
But even so I still fear I have played a game
Am (Bm) C
And it seems no one else is as sick and depraved
[Turnaround]
[Verse 4]
Em Bm Em
I have heard that I'm not supposed to be this way
Em Bm Em
And still the stones that are lifted fall down to stay
Am (Bm) C
But I keep doubting and think one will strike my face
[Chorus 2]
G D/F# Em
He's been promising me something more than pain
Am B
Where the cost is grace and my loss is gain
G D/F# Em
And I have chosen because there is no other way
C
I either wallow in shame
B C B
Or humble myself and be saved
C B C B
And be saved
[Outro]
Em Bm Em Em
From my sin
Em Bm Em Em
