So... I'm re-doing this because I'm a goober and did it in the wrong key. I'm pretty 
this is right.
Song: Matthias Replaces Judas
Artist:  Showbread
Album:  No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical
Year:  2004
Standard Tuning
Capo 4
Cit is so that my tranAmsgressions have born a withered frFuit,
the sun has scorched the rGising plants;
alas they have no rCoot, the bleached bones of Amanimals bound by leather
sFtrips,
dance through the air with lauGghter as I wield this wicked Cwhip,
as you did warn me cAmarpenter, this world has weakened my hFeart,
so easily I dGisparage, self-seeking the work of my aCrt,
and there you have come to Amme at the moment I bathe in my sForrow,
so in love with mGyself, sought after avoiding tComorrow,
where do you find the lAmove to offer he who betrays yFou?
and offer to wash my fGeet as I offer to disobey yCou,
your beauty does berAmeave me, and how my words do faiFl,
so faithfully and dGutifully I award you with betCrayal,
Amthe weak and the down trFodden fall on broken lCegs,
as I walk past a sGmile I cast, fervor in my sAmtead,
but my bones like plaFstic, do buckle backward nCow,
I lay in this field by JGudas' bowels and anticipate the pClow,
I can not be fForgiven; my wages will be pAmaid,
for those more lovely and admGirable is least among the sCaved,
and where would I fit JeFsus?
what place is left for Amme?
the price of atonement is mGore than I've found to offer up as my pClea,
CJesus my heart is all I Amhave to give to yoFu, so weak and so uGnworthy,
this simply will not Cdo, no alabaster Amjar, no diamond in the rFough,
for your body that was bGroken, how can this be enCough?
by me you were abAmandoned, by me you were beFtrayed,
yet in your arms and Gin your heart forever I have sCtayed
CYour glory illuminAmates my life, and no darkness will deFscend,
for you have loved me foGrever, and your love will never eCnd

Song: Matthias Replaces Judas

Artist: Showbread

Album: No Sir, Nihilism Is Not Practical

Year: 2004

Standard Tuning

Capo 4

C Am F

it is so that my transgressions have born a withered fruit,

the sun has scorched the rising plants;

C Am

alas they have no root, the bleached bones of animals bound by leather

strips,

G C

dance through the air with laughter as I wield this wicked whip,

Am F

as you did warn me carpenter, this world has weakened my heart,

G C

so easily I disparage, self-seeking the work of my art,

Am F

and there you have come to me at the moment I bathe in my sorrow,

G C

so in love with myself, sought after avoiding tomorrow,

Am F

where do you find the love to offer he who betrays you?

G C

and offer to wash my feet as I offer to disobey you,

Am F

your beauty does bereave me, and how my words do fail,

G C

so faithfully and dutifully I award you with betrayal,

Am F C

the weak and the down trodden fall on broken legs,

G Am

as I walk past a smile I cast, fervor in my stead,

F C

but my bones like plastic, do buckle backward now,

G C

I lay in this field by Judas' bowels and anticipate the plow,

F Am

I can not be forgiven; my wages will be paid,

G C

for those more lovely and admirable is least among the saved,

and where would I fit Jesus?

what place is left for me?

G C

the price of atonement is more than I've found to offer up as my plea,

C Am F G

Jesus my heart is all I have to give to you, so weak and so unworthy,

C Am F

this simply will not do, no alabaster jar, no diamond in the rough,

G C

for your body that was broken, how can this be enough?

Am F

by me you were abandoned, by me you were betrayed,

G C

yet in your arms and in your heart forever I have stayed

C Am F

Your glory illuminates my life, and no darkness will descend,

G C

for you have loved me forever, and your love will never end
