Intro: C2 G/B D/A G/B C2 G/B D2no3 Repeat with Ooo------
C2 G/B D/A G/B
There's a place in the dark-ness that I use to cling to
C2 G/B D2no3
That presses harsh hope against time.
C2 G/B D/A G/B
In the absence of martyers there's a presence of theives who only
C2 D2no3
Want to rob you blind.
C2 G/B D/A G/B
They steal awa--y any sense of peace
C2 G/B D2no3
Though I'm a king I'm a king on my knees.

As the darkness covers me.

Second Verse: Same chords as first.
There are ghosts from my past who own more of my soul
Than I thought I had given away.
They linger in closets and under my bed and in
Pictures less proudly displayed.
A great fool I have been I have
Squandered 'til palid and thin.
Hung my head in shame and refused to take blame
For the darkness I know I let win.
Repeat pre-chorus and chorus
Bridge:
G/B//////C2//////G/B C2 G/B C2
Can you hear me?
Last verse
Well I've never been much for the baring of souls
In the presence of any man
Rather keep to myself all the safe and secure
in the arms of a sinner I am.
Could it be that my worth should depend on the
Crimson stained grace on a hand?
Like a lump on a hill Lord I pray in Your will
To reveal all of you that I can.
Repeat Pre-Chorus and Chours.
Repeat into with first lines of the first verse to end.
