[D]

[Verse 1]
18 bullet holes in [C]the
body [D]of a priest
[Bm]They say he was eating a hot dog
when the [A]ammunition was released.
They say he [G]was always fat and lazy
but he was [A]an awfully nice guy.
That's just one more [G]death to show you
you never [A]know when you're gonna die.
You might be facing the [Bm]beast[A]

[Verse 2]
[D]Sometimes, God,
I feel like I'm living in a bone grinding mill
And every [Bm]time I hear the sound
I can [A]barely stand still
It's a thing I can't quite make [G]out sometimes
but it [A]seems to keep getting louder-
One more [G]body from the valley of the dry
bones getting [A]ground up into powder
Against Your holy [Bm]will[A]

[Verse 3]
[D]Oh, [A]God, it [G]hurts so [D]bad to [Bm]love
any[A]body down [G]here
Why [D]don't You [A]come and
[G]help me [D]out?
[Bm]'Cause I can't [A]even see clear
[G]

[Verse 4]
The [D]funny thing about the way
a girl gets destroyed
About the way that deal goes
down
[Bm]Is that everybody pretty much
sees it coming at the sister
[A]From all the way across town
And she [G]is n't always blinded,
she isn't always far [A]astray
She just might not be [G]thinking,
she might be having a bad [A]day
But when you choose, you choose, and when you drown,

[Interlude 1]
you drown

[Verse 5]
Last [D]night I dreamed that You swallowed
me into Yourself
And I was floating on the sea inside
[Bm]When I landed on the shore,
I saw all [A]these people that I thought had died
I hadn't [G]seen some of them for ages
They had [A]left without a
single word
And when I said [G]something to them,
[A]not a single one of them had heard

[Verse 6]
They were all [D]looking right through everything
like it wasn't even there
[C]Some were full of anger,
[D]some full of fear
[Bm]And then I recognized
that something very sad
But [A]very beautiful was
happening right here
They [G]were all caught outside standing
alone in a [A]very heavy rain
And when a raindrop [G]landed
on my tongue
I didn't [A]need You to explain
That these [Bm]were[D][A][G]
[D][Bm][A]
[G]You[D]r t[A]ears[G][D][Bm]
[A][G]

[Verse 7]
[D]Oh, [A]God, it [G]hurts so [D]bad [Bm]to love
any[A]body [G]down here
[D]Oh, that's [A]right, You [G]know so [D]well
One thorny [Bm]crown, three [A]nails, and a [G]spear
One thorny [Bm]crown, [A]three nails,
and a [G]spear
