E F# G#m
[Verse 1]
EI keep trF#ying to fG#mind a life
On my oEwn, aF#part from G#myou
EI am the F#king of eG#mxcuses
I've got oEne for every sF#elfish thing I G#mdo
[Pre-Chorus]
EWhat's going oF#n inG#mside of me?
I deEspise my oF#wn beG#mhavior
This only seErves F#to confirm, G#mmy suspicions,
That I'm stEill a man in F#need of a G#mSavior
[Chorus]
I wanna Ebe in the LiBght As yF#ou are in the LiG#mght
I wanna sEhine like the stBars in the heF#avens
Oh LEord be my LiBght and F#be my salvG#mation
'Cause aEll I want is F#to be in the LiG#mght
AEll I want is F#to be in the LiG#mght
[Verse 2]
The disEease of seF#lf runs thG#mrough my blood
It's a Ecancer fatF#al to my G#msoul
EEvery attF#empt on my bG#mehalf has failed
To brEing this sickness unF#der conG#mtrol
[Pre-Chorus]
EWhat's going oF#n inG#mside of me?
I deEspise my oF#wn beG#mhavior
This only seErves F#to confirm, G#mmy suspicions,
That I'm stEill a man in F#need of a G#mSavior
[Chorus]
I wanna Ebe in the LiBght As yF#ou are in the LiG#mght

Oh LEord be my LiBght and F#be my salvG#mation
'Cause aEll I want is F#to be in the LiG#mght
AEll I want is F#to be in the LiG#mght
[Bridge]
C#mHonesty beD#mcomes me, there's nG#mothing left to lose
The seEcrets that did rBun me, in Your pF#resence are 
defused
C#mPride has no pD#mosition, and G#mriches have no worth
The paEin that once did coBver me, has been sF#entenced 
to this earth
Has been sentenced to this earth
[Pre-Chorus]
EWhat's going oF#n inG#mside of me?
I deEspise my oF#wn beG#mhavior
