Intro: C  
  FI am so like Ama bird in flightC, I try to build my hGome
  FI set my eyes on anyAmthing that shines and teClls me it will make me wGhole
I stFack the walls surrAmounding me with proCmises and preGtty things
But wFhen I see what wiAmnter brings, I Gfly
   AmAnd as it turns out, Fthis fickle heart in my chesCt
Sometimes it beats for evGerything but what is best
   AmBut when I turn down   Fthis voice I hear in my hCead
I give you room to spGeak and offer life inAmstead
So take aFll of these idols, aCll of these idols and lGay them to restAm  
So take aFll of these idols, aCll of my idGols
  FAnd all this timeAm, addicted I, deCsperate for more and moreG  
  FI chase the high but eAmvery single time, I cCome down lower than beGfore
These emFpty words are Amon repeat and CI can see they're kiGlling me
But sFtill I find that AmI believe the lGies
   AmAnd as it turns out, Fthis fickle heart in my chesCt
Sometimes it beats for evGerything but what is best
   AmBut when I turn down   Fthis voice I hear in my hCead
I give you room to spGeak and offer life inAmstead
So take aFll of these idols, aCll of these idols and lGay them to restAm  
So take aFll of these idols, aCll of my idGols
   AmI aCm a wGell run dryAm, I am a cloCuded, stGarless sky
   AmWithoCut Your bGreath of life    AmI would suCrely dGie
But YAmou gave your lCife for mineG  
   AmAnd as it turns out, Fthis fickle heart in my chesCt
Sometimes it beats for evGerything but what is best
   AmBut when I turn down   Fthis voice I hear in my hCead
I give you room to spGeak and offer life inAmstead
   And as it turns ouFt, this fickle heart in my chCest
Sometimes it beats for evGerything but what is best

JESSA ANDERSON - Idols

CAPO on 1

Intro:

F Am C G

I am so like a bird in flight, I try to build my home

F Am C G

I set my eyes on anything that shines and tells me it will make me whole

F Am C G

I stack the walls surrounding me with promises and pretty things

F Am G

But when I see what winter brings, I fly

Am F C

And as it turns out, this fickle heart in my chest

Sometimes it beats for everything but what is best

Am F C

But when I turn down this voice I hear in my head

G Am

I give you room to speak and offer life instead

F C G Am

So take all of these idols, all of these idols and lay them to rest

F C G

So take all of these idols, all of my idols

F Am C G

And all this time, addicted I, desperate for more and more

F Am C G

I chase the high but every single time, I come down lower than before

F Am C G

These empty words are on repeat and I can see they're killing me

F Am G

But still I find that I believe the lies

Am F C

And as it turns out, this fickle heart in my chest

Sometimes it beats for everything but what is best

Am F C

But when I turn down this voice I hear in my head

I give you room to speak and offer life instead

F C G Am

So take all of these idols, all of these idols and lay them to rest

F C G

So take all of these idols, all of my idols

Am C G Am C G

I am a well run dry, I am a clouded, starless sky

Am C G Am C G

Without Your breath of life I would surely die

Am C G

But You gave your life for mine

Am F C

And as it turns out, this fickle heart in my chest

Sometimes it beats for everything but what is best

Am F C

But when I turn down this voice I hear in my head

G Am

I give you room to speak and offer life instead

F C

And as it turns out, this fickle heart in my chest

Sometimes it beats for everything but what is best
