Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[F]This song was one of the tracks that had some arrangement changes between the demo versions and the version [G]that ended [G5]up on Mindsize. It was for the better, I think. In [G]retrospect,
this is one of my least [Bb5]favorite songs from Mind[Bb]size. It's not that it's a bad [G]song, [G5]per se, but it [G]just [G5]wasn't a strong [Bb5]track. If you read through the lyrics, [G5]you'll also notice that [G]the word 'Mindsize' was derived from [C]this song.

[Verse 2]
This song's [G]main [Bb5]focus is substance abuse, [G5]in any form. [C]The reasons behind [F]any addiction are [G5]weak, to say the least, but also very
[Bb5]real - very tangible. [G5]Our physical and spiritu[G]al escape from these addictions needs [Bb]to start with the Lord... "Please call His name..."

[Verse 3]
What kind [F]of lies have led
your despise
Have stung your mindsize
Tried [G]and true no gain

[Verse 4]
Yes it's true that things are up[Bb]set
Wrapped [F]in substance
Please [G]call His name

[Verse 5]
This sort of drug has got [Bb]you thinking
Well I [F]think you're sinking
And [G]it's all the same

[Verse 6]
It's simple now you think you [Bb]need it
Well I [F]think it's sickness
[Eb]Please [G]call His name

[Verse 7]
[Bb]Blue now throu[F]gh and through
[C]And I see[Eb] you're gon[G]e[F][G][F]
Con[Bb]tent in a [F]reason bent
[C]Please don't tak[Eb]e too lon[G]g[Bb]

[Verse 8]
[G]Another trip, another day[Bb] lost
And in [F]whose cost?
[Eb]What [G]do you claim?

[Verse 9]
Well I believe in truthful [Bb]glances
And second [F]chances
[Eb]Please [G]call His name

[Verse 10]
[C]Feelings of joy[Cm], min[Ab]dless toy[G]
Could you get by, and never get high
[C]Feelings of [Ab]joy, mindless toy[Gm]
Could you re[G]strain, would [Gm]you complain
[G]Fee[C]lings of joy, lif[Ab]e unsoiled
My [F]Lord gives a new life
Don't, [F#5]don't take a long time

[Verse 11]
[G]What kind of lies have led
[Bb]your despise
Have stung [F]your mindsize
Please [G5]call [G]His name

[Verse 12]
[Bb]Blue now [F]through and through
[C]And I see[Eb] you'[G]re gon[F]e[G][F]
Con[Bb]tent in a [F]reason bent
[C]Please don't tak[Eb]e too[G] lon[F]g[G]
[F]Stop

[Verse 13]
[Bb]it's always me a[F]nd me[C]
Like [Cm]the o[Eb]ther s[G]ong
[F][G][F]
[Bb]He shines with [F]grace and peace
[C]So don't [Eb]take too [G]long[F]
