Isaiah 45:23 Chords by The Mountain Goats

[Bm] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ If my prayer [C] be not humble, [G] make it so. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ In these last hours, if the Spirit waits [D] in check,
help me let it [C] go. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] And should my suffering [G] double, _ [Bm] let me never love [C] you less. _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] Let every knee be bent and _ [D] every tongue [G] confess. _
And _ _ _ _ [D] I won't get better, _ [C] but someday [G] I'll be free. _ _ _ _
Because I am [D] not this body _ [C] that _ _ [G] imprisons me.
_ I _ _ _ _ read the _ [C] magazines somebody [G] brought. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hold them to my failing eyes [D] until my hands [C] get hot.
And _ _
_ _ [Em] when the nurse [G] comes in to [Bm] change my sheets [C] and clothes,
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] the pain begins to travel, _ _ _ [D] _
dancing as [G] it goes. _ _ _ _
_ And [D] I won't get better, _ [C] but someday I'll [G] be free.
_ _ _ _ _ Because I am [D] _
not this body _ [C] that imprisons [G] me. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ [E] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ My prayer goes [C] _ unanswered, that's [G] all right. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ If my path fills with darkness _ [D] and there is no sign of [C] life, _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] let me praise you [G] for the good times.
[Bm] Let me hold your banner high [C] _
until _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
the hills are flattened
_ [D] and the rivers all [G] run dry.
And _ _
_ _ [D] I won't get better, _ [C] but someday I'll [G] be free.
_ _ _ _ _ Because I am [D] _
not this body [C] that _ _ [G] imprisons me. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
