Tuning: E A D G B E
Verse: G Bm D A G (D)
Chorus: D A G
Bridge: A G D , A G D G D A
Well I've goGne and lost my faith in phBmotographs
DCursed those maArtyrs that maGrk my past D
GAnd I long for a day when weâll Bmlook back and laugh
About alAl this G
But good luck finding your peace of mind
Being born into these brutal times
And these days I donât pray when I close my eyes
I just bite my tongue a bit harder
Cause you were a lDie I choAse to belGieve
A liDe I chosAe to believGe
Let's float these gutters up past heaven's gate
Get me out of these damn desert states
Did you hear the one about the hand of fate?
It'll make your heart stop
Do you ever wish you could just back out?
Take your nickels and go cash out?
Forget the faces youâve been crying about
And see where forgiveness takes you?
Chorus
ASweet surrender like the break of dawn
WGith the map laid out and thDe arrows drawn
ABut I think too much and wait too long
GAnd I never tell but you kDnow
HGow to lift me Dwhen I sink too Alow
Now Iâve found me a reason to be a man
Out on the shoulder with an outstretched hand
Just a little solid ground to stand
Is all I ever needed
So Iâll shout it out from the heavens above
Hell ainât nothinâ but the devilâs drug
And love ainât a sickness, though I once thought it was
When I was too surrounded to see
