[Verse 1]
When AI was sick, the blind looked Ddown through their noles to Eme
When AI a stranger, had turned Dback at the foot of your Ewall between
I was Anaked, faceless, shame became my chains   DYou deserve to let me Erot
You reAplaced me with tall trees, the privacy that you sought  DWell I was the Ecause
[Pre-Chorus]
A Dbook of names, but every page is emApty
A Dneighborhood lacking other faAces
I’d Erather be left behind
[Chorus]
  AYou can go to Heaven on your own, but wouldn’t it be EHell inside the gates all alDone
All aAlone
  AYou can go to Heaven on your own, but wouldn’t it be EHell inside the gates all alDone
If AGod looks like you then I’d Erather be left behind
[Verse 2]  (Garrett)
Did you dAepart from me set anchor, and walk alone down the narrow sea
DStepping to shores piously removed Efrom my incessant floorboard
 ADo you dream your chest could fail? The long awaited last exhalDe
So you might climb, Ebecome the vine of sin
2A4, and a half score away from me
How iDntellectually we shrunk EGod to fit my needs
ASlowly it occurs to me amidst this blissful apostasy
IDm less ensnared by heresy than the Etrenches I dug between them and me
[Pre-Chorus]
A Dbook of names, but every page is emApty
A Dneighborhood lacking other faAces
I’d Erather be left behind
[Chorus]
  AYou can go to Heaven on your own, but wouldn’t it be EHell inside the gates all alDone
All aAlone
  AYou can go to Heaven on your own, but wouldn’t it be EHell inside the gates all alDone
If AGod looks like you then I’d Erather be left -
[Bridge]
 AAmazing Grace how sweet the soDund of silence 
Where you Aprepare the home, just to lock the doors and
Dthrow the key aEway
[Chorus]
  AYou can go to Heaven on your own, but wouldn’t it be EHell inside the gates all alDone
All aAlone
  AYou can go to Heaven on your own, but wouldn’t it be EHell inside the gates all alDone
If AGod looks like you then I’d Erather be left behind

[Verse 1]

A D E

When I was sick, the blind looked down through their noles to me

A D E

When I a stranger, had turned back at the foot of your wall between

A D E

I was naked, faceless, shame became my chains You deserve to let me rot

A D E

You replaced me with tall trees, the privacy that you sought Well I was the cause

[Pre-Chorus]

D A

A book of names, but every page is empty

D A

A neighborhood lacking other faces

I’d rather be left behind

[Chorus]

A E D

You can go to Heaven on your own, but wouldn’t it be Hell inside the gates all alone

All alone

A E D

You can go to Heaven on your own, but wouldn’t it be Hell inside the gates all alone

A E

If God looks like you then I’d rather be left behind

[Verse 2] (Garrett)

Did you depart from me set anchor, and walk alone down the narrow sea

D E

Stepping to shores piously removed from my incessant floorboard

A D

Do you dream your chest could fail? The long awaited last exhale

So you might climb, become the vine of sin

24, and a half score away from me

D E

How intellectually we shrunk God to fit my needs

Slowly it occurs to me amidst this blissful apostasy

D E

Im less ensnared by heresy than the trenches I dug between them and me

[Pre-Chorus]

D A

A book of names, but every page is empty

D A

A neighborhood lacking other faces

I’d rather be left behind

[Chorus]

A E D

You can go to Heaven on your own, but wouldn’t it be Hell inside the gates all alone

All alone

A E D

You can go to Heaven on your own, but wouldn’t it be Hell inside the gates all alone

A E

If God looks like you then I’d rather be left -

[Bridge]

A D

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound of silence

Where you prepare the home, just to lock the doors and

D E

throw the key away

[Chorus]

A E D

You can go to Heaven on your own, but wouldn’t it be Hell inside the gates all alone

All alone

A E D

You can go to Heaven on your own, but wouldn’t it be Hell inside the gates all alone

A E

If God looks like you then I’d rather be left behind
