[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me
She had [C] a heart with hesitant, halting speech
I turned to [Em] mine and asked belligerently
_ _ What do [C] I live for?
_ _ _ I see [Em] the sky, searchers everywhere I go
_ [C] Hearts to walls, to the churchyard, to radio
There's [Em] a question like a shame, no one will show
What do [C] I live for?
_ _ _ We are fools, say it's why
We [D] are squandering this life
[Em] Using people like ladders and words [A] like knives
But if we've [C] eyes to see, if we've [G] ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and [D] mouths, the word that [G] saves is near
Shed that [C] shallow skin, [Em] live again
Leave [G] all you [D] were before to believe it's [Am] to begin
There [Em] is truth in the little corners of our lives
[Am] There are hints of it [C] in songs and children's eyes
_ [F#] [Em] It's familiar, like an ancient lullaby
What [Am] do I live for? _
_ _ [C] _ _ We are fools, say it's [Em] why
[D] We are squandering this life
[Em] Using bodies like money and truth [A] like lies
But if we've [C] eyes to see, if we've [Em] ears to hear
To _ [D] find it in our hearts and mouths, the word that [Am] [C] saves is near
Shed that shallow skin, [Em] come and live again
[G] Leave all you [D] were before to [Bm] believe it's [Am] to begin
_ _ We are _ [Em] avengers, that means [C] something, that [A] means something
_ _ [Am] We are _ [Em] avengers, _ _ [C] emotions, _ [A] inkling notions, [D] atoms of notion
_ [B] _ We [C] are fools, say it's why
[D] We are squandering [G] this [Am] life
[Em] Using people like ladders and [F#] words [A] like [Em] knives _ _ _ _ _
_ I'm happy, I am successful, I'm powerful, I'm handsome, I'm happy, happy
I am successful, I'm powerful, I'm handsome, I'm happy
I'm successful, I'm powerful, I'm handsome, I'm happy
_ _ _ _ _ But if we've [C] eyes to see, if we've [Em] ears to hear
To find it [G] in our hearts and mouths, the word that [Am] saves is [C] near
Shed that shallow skin, come and [Em] live again
Leave all you [Bm] were before [D] to believe it's [C] to begin
But if we've eyes to see, if we've [Em] ears to hear
To find it [G] in our hearts and mouths, the word that [Am] saves is near
Shed that [C] shallow skin, come and [Em] live again
Leave all you [D] were before to believe it's [Am] to begin _
_ [Em] _ [D] To believe it's [C] to begin
To [Em] _ _ [D] believe it's [C] to begin
To [Em] _ _ [D] believe it's [C] to begin
I remember two things very clearly.
I'm a great sinner and Christ is a great sinner.
