[Verse 1]
Oh, [Am]my God,
look around this [F]place
Your fingers [C]reach around the bone
You set the [Gsus4]break

[G]Flights [Am]of grace and future fa[F]lls
In [C]present pain, all [G]fools say,
"Oh, [F]my God"

[C][G]

[Verse 2]
Oh, [Am]my God, why are we so af[F]raid?
We make it [C]worse when we don't bleed
There is no [G]cure for our disease
Turn [Am]a phrase and rise [F]again
Or fake your [C]death and only tell
Your [G]closest friends, oh,
[Em]my G[F]od

Oh, [Am]my God,

[Verse 3]
[F]can[Am] I complain?
[F]You take awa[C]y my firm belief
And graft my [G]soul upon your grief
Wedding[Am]s, boats and al[F]ibis
[G]All drift [C]away and a mother [G]cries
[C][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]Liars and [G]fools, sons and failures

[F]Lost [G]and found, ailing wanderers
[C]Healers always [F]say

[G]men with [C]problems
Leavers always [F]say
[Am]Broken [F]hearted, [G]separated
[C]Orphans always [F]say

[Verse 6]
[Am]War [F]creators, ra[G]cial haters
[C]Preachers always [F]say
[Am]Distant fath[F]ers, [Am]falle[G]n warriors
[Em]Givers al[C]ways [F]say

[Verse 7]
[Am]Pilgrim saints, [G]lonely widows
[C]Users always [F]say
[Am]Fearful mothers, [G]watchful doubters
Sa[C]viors always [F]say

[Verse 8]
[Am]Sometimes I can not forgive
[G]These days mercy cuts so deep
[Em]If the world was h[C]ow it should b[F]e

[Verse 9]
Maybe I could get some sleep
[Am]While I lay, I'd dream we're better
[G]Scales were gone and faces lighter
[C]When we wake, we hate our brother
[F]We still move to hurt each other

[Verse 10]
[Am]Sometimes I can close my eyes
And [G]all the fear that keeps me silent
[C]Falls below my heavy breathing
[F]What makes me so badly bent?

[Verse 11]
[Am]We all have a chance to murder
[G]We all have the need for wonder
[C]We still want to be reminded
[F]That the pain is worth the plunder

[Verse 12]
[Am]Sometimes when I lose my grip
I [G]wonder what to make of Heaven
[C]All the times I thought to reach up
[F]All the times I had to give up

[Verse 13]
[Am]Babies underneath their beds
[G]Hospitals that cannot treat them
[C]All the wounds that money [Em]causes
[F]All the comforts of cathedrals

[Verse 14]
[Am]All the cries of thirsty children
[G]This is our inheritance
[C]All the rage of watching mothers
[F]This is our greatest offense

[Verse 15]
[F]Oh, my God
[G]Oh, my God
[C]Oh, my God
[F]
