Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Nothing[Em] can be done
against [Am]the truth
No matter how [D]we remain [G]in denial,
yeah
Wasting time,
repla[Em]cing time with each empty [Am]excuse
But that'll [D]only work [G]a little while
[Am]Coping with desp[D]air,
[G]knowing you[Em]'re not the[Am]re
Ashamed to [D]just admit [G]I've been a fool
[Am]So I blame it on t[D]he s[G]on,
run away from [Em]every[Am]one
Hoping [D]to escape [G]this ridicule
[Bm]Trap[Em]ped in misery,
[Bm]wrap[Em]ped so miserably
[Am]And this deception,
[D]I wear it [G]like a skin
[Bm]Dying [Em]to maintain,
[Bm]oh I keep [Em]trying to explain
[Am]A heart that never[D] loved me to[G] begin
[Am]Oh I'm such a mess[D],
[G]I have no choice but to con[Em]fess
That [Am]I've been desper[D]ately
trying [G]to [Am]belong
Lieing to my[D]self an[G]d
everybody [Em]else[Am]
Refusing [D]to admit [G]my right was wrong,
and then he [Em]came

[Verse 2]
Selah, oh [Am]and it means
[Em]Prai[Bm]se and meditation,
and [G]then [Em]he came
Selah, [Am]oh and it means
Did [Bm]you think about that?
And [G]then he came
[Em]Selah, oh and [Am]it means
[Bm]Praise and meditation,
and [G]then he [Em]came
Selah, oh [Am]and it means
That [Bm]it is [G]seen

[Verse 3]
How beautiful is fruit [Em]still
in denial of its roots
[Am]My guilty heart beha[D]ves so f[G]oolishly
This treason from within that
[Em]reasons with my sin
[Am]Won't be happy 'til[D]
it sees [G]the death of me
[Am]Selfishly addi[D]cted to[G]
a life that [Em]I depicted
[Am]Conflicted 'caus[D]e it's
[G]not [Am]reality
Oh what's left [D]of me,
[G]I beg you desper[Em] ate[Am]ly
Cause me to [D]agree [G]with what
I know is be[Em]st for me
[Am]Please save me from [D]my self,
I need [G]you, save me from [Em]my self
[Am]Please save me from myse[D]lf
[G]so I can [Bm]heal
[Em]The choices that I've made,
[Bm]oh have been[Em] nothing but mistakes
[Am]What a wasted use [D]of s[G]pace,
should I die be[Em]fore I wake?
[Bm]In all o[Em]f my religion,
[Bm]I've forti[Em]fied this prison
[Am]Obligated to o[D]bey [G]the demands
of bad [Em]decision
[Am]Please save me from [D]myself
[G]I need you to save me from mys[Em]elf
[Am]Please save [D]me from [G]myself so I can [D]heal
[G]And

[Verse 4]
then he [Em]came
Selah, oh [Am]and it means
[Bm]Praise and meditation,
and [G]then he [Em]came
Selah, oh [Am]and it means
Did [Bm]you think about that?
An[G]d he c[Em]ame
Selah, oh [Am]an d it means
[Em]Med [Bm]itation, and then [G]he came[Em]
Selah, oh [Am]and it means
That [Bm]it is seen
