Intro:
[G] [Am] [C]
[Em] [D] [C]
[G]Pages filled co[Am]ver the floor all [C]covered up with ink
Words [Em]written over [D]coffee docu[C]ment my struggling
Those [G]mornings spent sit[Am]ting alone, mour[C]ning alone in grief
For [Em]all I killed in [D]search of hones[C]ty
[G] [Am] [C]
[Em] [D] [C]
[G] [Am] [C]
[Em] [D] [C]
See, I [G]used to be a [Am]mustard seed shou[C]ting at the mountain
I [Em]used to hang my [D]head when it stayed [C]far from the ocean
I [G]used to claim its [Am]failure from the [C]depths of depression
Well, I [Em]cried to god but [D]god did not res[C]pond
And like a [G]barrel-chested [Am]strongman I sus[C]pended disbelief
I held it [Em]high over my [D]head though all the [C]weight was staggering
But [G]legs buckled and [Am]muscles burned, [C]in came gravity
I dropped it [Em]all, faced what [D]I'd been avoi[C]ding
Yeah, I dropped it [Em]all, faced what [D]I'd been avoid...[C]
What I'd been avoi[G]ding
[Am] [C]
[Em] [D] [C]
[G] [Am] [C]
[Em] [D] [C]
For [G]many years I [Am]walked that road, for [C]many years I tried
So [Em]earnestly I [D]sought the rela[C]tionship advertised
But my [G]empty hands and my [Am]empty heart could no [C]longer be denied
Oh yeah, I [Em]quit. I for[D]feit eternal [C]life
And I [G]did not take inheritance when I left to go away
Yeah, I [D]did what was commanded when that rich man asked to be saved
I [Am]left my friends, my family behind all for heaven's sake
I am no [C]prodigal
And this is no mis[G]take
Oh, this is no mis[C]take
Well, this is no mis[Em]take
Well, I am no mis[C]take
[Am]C (Strum[G]ming pat[Am]tern [Amadd9]changes a[C]t one point)
So I'm [G]sorry mom, I'm [Am]sorry dad, I really [C]want you to be proud
I don't [Em]want to disap[D]point you all, I don't [C]want to let you down
But [G]I have stopped sear[Am]ching for truth hiding [C]behind heaven's cloud
Don't save my [Em]place, of this [D]race I do bow [C]out
Don't save my [Em]place, oh, of this [D]race I do bow...[C]
Well, I [G]bow out[Am] [C]
Yeah, I bow [Em]out [D] [C]
