Amen Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F][Am][C][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[Am]You're [C]mot[F]her's child
But [Am]night [C]lays [F]you [Am]down
Hair [C]aflame, wild [F]look in your [Am]eye
Naked [C]belly to the [F]ground[Am]
A [C]forest [F]fire
[Am]Nibbles [C]at [F]your [Am]veins
Crawls up your [C]arm
Runs [F]away with your mind
And [Am]burns dry [C]thoughts like
[F]leaves[C][Am][C]
[Gm]Amen
[A][Am]

[Verse 2]
[C]Eye[F]s stare up
But [Am]something's [C]in [F]the way
[Am]In the Bible only [C]ange[F]ls have wings
And the [Am]rest must [C]wait to [F]be [Am]saved
A [C]dry [F]tongue
[Am]Screams [C]at the [F]sky[C][Am]
But the [C]wind just [F]breathes
words in
[Am]As a strange bird [C]tries
[F]to [C]fly[Am][C]

[Interlude 1]
Amen
[Gm][A][Am][C][F]
[Am][C][F][Am]

[Verse 3]
[C]Pieces of us [F]die everyday
As [Am]though [C]our flesh were [F]hell
[Am]Such an injust[C]ice,
as [F]children we are told
That [Am]from [C]God we [F]fell
[Am]Where are my angels?[C]
[F]Where's my golden one?
[Am]Where is my hope
[C]Now that my [F]heroes have gone?
[Am]Some are being [C]beaten
[F]Some are being born
[Am]And some can't [C]tell
The [F]difference anymore
[Am]Amen

[Verse 4]
Amen, amen, amen
