[Intro]
Em
Blinded by a fear of feeling,
C
these are the kings we chose
Em
Lost and looking for the meaning,
C
I've been searching high and low
Em
When we fade into nothing,
C
when we go up in the smoke
Em
We'll beg God for a mercy
C
that He knows we'd never show
Em D C A
Em D C
Em D C
[Verse 1]
Em
On a canvas we stained with blood
D
and painted with our sins
Am
There's a candle melting
C
and it's burning at both ends
Em
We'll take and take till it caves and drowns us
D
in the wax it drips
Am
Like a moth to a flame,
C
you never should've fucking lit
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
You can give sight to the blind,
D
But you can't force them to see
C
You could take us back in time
A
But it wouldn't change a thing
[Chorus]
Em
If God came down from His kingdom,
D
He came down from His home
Am
And we asked Him if he'd take us back,
C
He would surely tell us no
Em
If God came down from His kingdom,
D
He came down from His throne
Am
And we asked Him if He'd take us back,
C
He would tell us we can't go
Em D C
[Verse 2]
Em
To a rat in a maze,
D
the end is where the start begins
Am
But if we made it out,
C
I know that we would do it all again
Em
We live and die in vain
D
like treasure on a sinking ship
Am
All in the name of a God we'd just
C
abandon and forget
[Chorus]
Em
If God came down from His kingdom,
D
He came down from His home
Am
And we asked Him if He'd take us back,
C
He would surely tell us no
Em
If God came down from His kingdom,
D
He came down from His throne
Am
And we asked Him if He'd take us back,
C
He would tell us we can't go
[Bridge]
Em D
We're dying everyday
Am
Tell me, is it all in vain?
C
Is it worth the suffering?
Em
Is it worth the price we paid?
D
We're dying everyday
Am
Tell me, is it all in vain?
C
Is it worth the suffering?
Is it worth it?
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
You can give sight to the blind
D
But you can't force them to see
C
You could take us back in time
A
But it wouldn't change a thing
[Chorus]
Em
If God came down from His kingdom,
D
He came down from His home
Am
And we asked Him if He'd take us back
C
Em
If God came down from His kingdom,
D
He came down from His throne
Am
And we asked Him if He'd take us back,
C
He would tell us we can't go
[Outro]
Em
Blinded by a fear of feeling,
D
these are the kings we chose
Am
Lost and looking for the meaning,
C
I've been searching high and low
Em
When we fade into nothing,
D
when we go up in the smoke
Am
We'll beg God for a mercy
C
that He knows we'd never show
Em Em D C
