speak for god?\nWith haughty eyes and lying tongues and hands that shed innocent blood\nNow who delivered you the power to interpret calvary?\nYou gamble away our freedom to gain your own authority\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen you learn to love yourself, you will dissolve all the stones that are cast\nYou will learn to burn the icing sky and to melt the waxen mask\nI said to have the gift of true release, this is a peace gonna take you higher\nOh I come to you with my offering, I bring you strange fire\n\nThis is a message, a message of love\nLove that moves from the inside out, love that never grows tired\n\n\n\n\nCHORDS: E = 022100        A(9) = x07600 (slide up from E)\n\n\nThe chords for the verse follow this strumming pattern, alternating\nbetween E & A(9), which is a really easy transition.  The rhythm is\nsorta tricky, but you should be able to get it right with a little\npractice.  (The funny symbols are semi-quavers and such.)\n |\\          |\\      |\\  |\\          |\\      |\\  |\\  |\\  |\\  |\\\n |           |       |\\  |           |       |\\  |\\  |\\  |\\  |\\\nO|.
