[Intro]
Dm C
Dm
I saw Jacob, he lay in the street
C
He said the air out here is like amphetamine
Dm F
And I never ever wanna sleep again
Em C
I wanna live till I die
[Verse 1]
Dm F
They took all his money and all that he had
Em
But he smiled with his eyes
C
And his face was bright red
Dm F
And spit would run from his mouth when he said
Em C
I wanna live till I die
Dm F
'Cause I am alive and there's blood in my arms
Em C
This is a day that is brighter than bombs
Dm F
This is a day that is brighter than bombs
Em C
I will live till I die
Dm
Till I die
[Chorus]
Dm F
There's more inside of me than skin and bones
G Bb
There's more inside of me than skin and bones
Dm
I am born again today and
F
All my sins are washed away
G Bb
There's more inside of me than skin and bones
[Interlude]
Dm
[Verse 2]
Dm F
Jacob sat on the roof and he said
Em C
Some day the earth will cast out its dead
Dm F
If you dwell in the dust then wake up and sing
Em C
I will live till I die
Dm F
Jacob smiled when he said to me
Em C
I am not waiting on the Red Sea
Dm F
To open up and rain pearls on me
Em C
I will live till I die
Dm
Till I die
[Chorus]
Dm F
There's more inside of me than skin and bones

There's more inside of me than skin and bones
Dm
I am born again today and
F
All my sins are washed away
G Bb
There's more inside of me than skin and bones

[Bridge]
Dm
As long as I live and there's blood in my arms
C
This is a day that is brighter than bombs
Dm
This is a day that is brighter than bombs
C Dm
This is a day that is brighter than bombs.
[Chorus]
Dm F
There's more inside of me than skin and bones
G Bb
There's more inside of me than skin and bones
Dm
I am born again today and

All my sins are washed away
G Bb
There's more inside of me than skin and bones
