Standard Tuning
Verse 1 and Chorus 1 I usually play palm muted, as well as the second half of the bridge. 
Notice that the chords are slightly different in the final chorus.
------------Verse 1------------
EmSo scratch away the sand stuck in your ears
DWater all the crops with showers of tears
EmTell all those baby's mothers they don't need no fear
D'Cause God's got their hearts in his hands
EmAnd we'll ask all of the painters if they dressed in white
DTo walk around the streets, in the dead of the night
EmDance like guests at a wedding underneath the lights
DLook at the buildings and say "I touched that"
----------Pre-Chorus----------
COh we always wanna brag...D  Bm  
COh we always wanna brag...D  Bm  
------------Chorus------------
EmSo just hold me, underneath the water 'till the 
DOld me, dies and slips out of this
EmBody, Rip him out of my body
CAnd mDake me new again
------------Verse 2------------
EmWell maybe I'm the writer that will spark that flame
DThat makes the world believe in the right kind of faith
EmBut perhaps, I need to get these feet off stage
DAnd find a smaller pair of shoes to fill
EmWhat I know is that my father's only son said
D"There'll be time for sleep when the work is done"
EmKeep your pedal to the floor until the race is won
DWhat if the race is not a race at all
CDon't you crash into a tDree?Bm  
CDon't you crash into a tDree..Bm.
------------Chorus------------    x 2
EmSo just hold me, underneath the water 'till the

BmBody, Rip him out of my body
CAnd mDake me new again
------------Bridge------------
EmHe spoke his words to me like well driven nails
DThey sank like wind to rain to my rusty sails
BmThe sailor's hands took flight and hung in the sky
CBelow a celebration that lDand's in sight
EmMy heart puffs with pride, as I'm defined 
DIn the center of the room filled with all your eyes
BmLeading me to believe that I'm so fresh and revised
CBut God I'm nothing if I don't have yDou...
EmI'm nothing (I AM)

Standard Tuning

Verse 1 and Chorus 1 I usually play palm muted, as well as the second half of the bridge.

Notice that the chords are slightly different in the final chorus.

------------Verse 1------------

So scratch away the sand stuck in your ears

Water all the crops with showers of tears

Tell all those baby's mothers they don't need no fear

'Cause God's got their hearts in his hands

And we'll ask all of the painters if they dressed in white

To walk around the streets, in the dead of the night

Dance like guests at a wedding underneath the lights

Look at the buildings and say "I touched that"

----------Pre-Chorus----------

C D Bm

Oh we always wanna brag...

C D Bm

Oh we always wanna brag...

------------Chorus------------

So just hold me, underneath the water 'till the

Old me, dies and slips out of this

Body, Rip him out of my body

C D

And make me new again

------------Verse 2------------

Well maybe I'm the writer that will spark that flame

That makes the world believe in the right kind of faith

But perhaps, I need to get these feet off stage

And find a smaller pair of shoes to fill

What I know is that my father's only son said

"There'll be time for sleep when the work is done"

Keep your pedal to the floor until the race is won

What if the race is not a race at all

C D Bm

Don't you crash into a tree?

C D Bm

Don't you crash into a tree...

------------Chorus------------ x 2

So just hold me, underneath the water 'till the

Old me, dies and slips out of this

Body, Rip him out of my body

C D

And make me new again

------------Bridge------------

He spoke his words to me like well driven nails

They sank like wind to rain to my rusty sails

The sailor's hands took flight and hung in the sky

C D

Below a celebration that land's in sight

My heart puffs with pride, as I'm defined

In the center of the room filled with all your eyes

Leading me to believe that I'm so fresh and revised

C D

But God I'm nothing if I don't have you...

I'm nothing (I AM)

I'm nothing (I'M NOT A THING)

Bm C D

I'm nothing (I AM!)

I met my brother in a hallway

Said he loved Jesus and I said "I think I do too"

I met my brother in a hallway

C D

I met my brother in a hallway

------------Chorus------------ x 2

And said hold me, underneath the water 'till the

Old me, dies and slips out of this

Body, Rip him out of my body

C D

And make me new again

Enjoy! :)
