[Intro]

Em C Em C D

[Verse]

Em D

I was hopeless, chained to vice after vice

Am C Em C Em C D

and I defied you until I prayed you would just let me die.

Em D

I was finished and slept in grave after grave

Am C

and waited buried, but the end I deserved never came.

[Chorus]

Em C

The wrath that I was owed

C D

poured on your blameless son,

Em G

for every song I’ve sung

G Am

still it seems senseless.

Em C

The righteousness He owned,

C D

free to us wicked ones.

Em G

I fit it in my lungs but

G Am

it leaves me breathless.

[Verse 2]

Em D

You were fearless, and took my shame upon shame

Am C

and as I yielded you were crushed by the weight.

Em D

But It was finished when by grace upon grace

Am C

hell was silenced as you stepped out from your grave.

[Chorus]

Em C

The wrath that I was owed

C D

poured on your blameless son,

Em G

for every song I’ve sung

G Am

still it seems senseless.

Em C

The righteousness He owned,

C D

free to us wicked ones.

Em G

I fit it in my lungs but

G Am

it leaves me breathless.

Em C Em C D

[Bridge]

Since the first time you spoke it,

I've been winded and gasping for air.

I can barely repeat it.

I believe but I don’t understand

how for all of the violence

and rebellion that heaves in my chest,

You could call me forgiven,

and restore every last wasted breath.

[Outro]

Hell go on and rage,

whatever you may say

my G-d, He speaks for me

and I'll not be ashamed.

Hell go on and rage,

you can't change a thing.

My G-d, You speak for me

so I'll not be ashamed.
