Em
These quiet words, they carry me away
D C G
Returning, they keep coming back
Em
In idle thoughts and hollow cut-aways
D C G
Disarm me, no will to attack
Em B Em D C Am
Though the sorrow and fear they may depart you today
C D Em
I will fail you, of that I'm sure
C D Em
I will remind you of the pain forevermore
C D G D/F# Em
And when my sins are just a memory, faith restored
D C D Em
I will fail you to the core
Em
Lost in the shadow of an endless grace,
D C G
relentless My reign is unbound
Em
In this abandon I will devastate,
D C G
dismember Till agony's found
Em B Em D C Am
Though the sorrow and fear they may depart you today
C D Em
I will fail you, of that I'm sure
C D Em
I will remind you of the pain forevermore
C D G D/F# Em
And when my sins are just a memory, faith restored
D C D Em
I will fail you to the core
Em C
I know they prey upon me, I feel them just beyond my door
(There is an interlude with a guitar solo, but I typically do the breakdown lyric twice,
then the intro and back into the down chorus)
C D Em
I will fail you, of that I'm sure
C D Em
I will remind you of the pain forevermore
(Full energy again here)
C D G D/F# Em
And when my sins are just a memory, faith restored

I will fail you to the core
C D Em
I will fail you, of that I'm sure

C D G D/F# Em
And when my sins are just a memory, faith restored
D C D Em
I will fail you to the core
