The Gray Havens - Stole my fame to grace

You threw me ^Adown You stole my ^Afame You would not ^Astop until You crucified my ^Ename You took my ^Eboast Put it in the ^Eground Buried it in ^Ewater Now the water’s showin’ ^Ahow I got this spotless repu^Atation Not my ^Aown Give me joy and ^Afire Keep it burnin’ in my ^Esoul But every ^Etriumph I count as ^Emine It turns to ^Estone And stone don’t often catch on ^Afire

So spend some ^Atime with me Grace, spend some ^Etime with me ^ETake these stone shackles And ^Aset me free Just give me what ^Dfire Will ^Dneed to burn Show me that ^Atrue love And ^AI’ll return But till ^Athen I’ll for^Eget you and ^Asay

You threw me ^Adown You stole my ^Afame You would not ^Astop until You crucified my ^Ename You took my ^Eboast Put it in the ^Eground Buried it in ^Ewater Now the water’s showin’ ^Ahow I got this spotless repu^Atation Not my ^Aown Give me joy and ^Afire Keep it burnin’ in my ^Esoul But every ^Etriumph I count as ^Emine It turns to ^Estone And stone don’t often catch on ^Afire

^F#mIf joy is like a fire bur^Dnin’ in my soul ^A (In my ^Esoul) ^F#m The last thing I ^Ddesire is to feed it ^Astone ^F#m Cuz stone will just pre^Dtend to be your friend Because he’s ^Awarm inside the fire ^C#7 (Warm inside the ^F#mfire) But in time he will grow ^Dcold And you’ll grow ^Dcold Until you ^Eknow the reason why

So please throw me ^Adown And steal my ^Afame Please don’t ^Astop until You crucify my ^Ename Take my ^Eboast Put it in the ^Eground Bury it in ^Ewater Now the water’s showin’ ^Ahow I got this spotless repu^Atation Not my ^Aown Give me joy and ^Afire Keep it burnin’ in my ^Esoul But every ^Etriumph I count as ^Emine It turns to ^Estone And stone don’t often catch on ^Afire
