Intro (you can single pick up and down each chord, or just strum them, whatever feels better for you)
EGCGEDCAmEm
These quiet words, they carry me away
DCG
Returning, they keep coming back
Em
In idle thoughts and hollow cut-aways
DCG
Disarm me, no will to attack
EmBEmDCAm
Though the sorrow and fear they may depart you today
CDEm
I will fail you, of that I'm sure
CDEm
I will remind you of the pain forevermore
CDGD/F#Em
And when my sins are just a memory, faith restored
DCDEm
I will fail you to the core
Em
Lost in the shadow of an endless grace,
DCG
relentless My reign is unbound
Em
In this abandon I will devastate,
DCG
dismember Till agony's found
EmBEmDCAm
Though the sorrow and fear they may depart you today
CDEm
I will fail you, of that I'm sure
CDEm
I will remind you of the pain forevermore
CDGD/F#Em
And when my sins are just a memory, faith restored
DCDEm
I will fail you to the core
EmC
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)
CDEm
I will fail you, of that I'm sure
CDEm
I will remind you of the pain forevermore
(Full energy again here)
CDGD/F#Em
And when my sins are just a memory, faith restored

I will fail you, of that I'm sure
CDEm
I will remind you of the pain forevermore
CDGD/F#Em
And when my sins are just a memory, faith restored
DCDEm
I will fail you to the core
