Heretic

	  		Intro 
F Am G D  x2 


  
Verse 1:
          Am 
You are the empire 

The promised land beneath my feet 
     G                F 
The contrast, that offends my firm theology 
     Am 
We tried to fit your ways 
        C 
In the boxes humans made 
                    G 
So either you're a heretic 
    F 
Or you're the son of God 

             Am 
You are the relapse 

Of quiet streams and greener paths 
     G             F 
The foot-notes, of ancient words our language lacks 
            Am                          C 
We could scribble out the notes in the books that your friends wrote 
                           Dm 
Cause either everyone's a heretic 
            Dm 
Or they've heard the voice of God 



Dm F 
Ooooh 
                                           Am  G 
Offend my mind so that I can know you more 
                                          Dm  F 
And break my heart so it looks more like yours 
                                           Am  G 
Offend my mind so that I can know you more 

Offend my mind

Interlude 
F Am G D 


Verse 2:
             Am 
You are the contrast 

A tender word and a stomach leap 
     G           F 
The constant, offending Greek mythology 
 Am 
Capitalize the "G" in the name of He who bleeds 
                 G       D 
You really resurrect me 
N.C.             Am 
Tell me directly,   am I just a modern pharisee 
        G                F 
Do my thoughts scream a renewed mind or just words I speak 
           Am                         C 
And if you walk into my home and you make your glory known 
                Em 
Would my tears soak your feet 
             Dm 
Or would I crucify you 


 

Dm F 
Ooooh 
                                           Am  G 
Offend my mind so that I can know you more 
                                          Dm  F 
And break my heart so it looks more like yours 
                                           Am  G 
Offend my mind so that I can know you more 

Offend my mind

Offend my mind so that I can know you more 
                                          Dm  F 
And break my heart so it looks more like yours 
                                           Am  G 
Offend my mind so that I can know you more

Bridge:
F 
Ooooooh 
               A 
Prophet and the priest 
            C 
Crucify my disbelief 
       D 
The divine reminds me of the hope inside me 
F 
Oooooh 
              A 
Counter of the stars 
                 C 
Resurrect my broken heart 

The contrast soothes my mind 

 
           Dm 
You're the earth that I reside in 
             F 
I break the rules, you break the silence 
          Am 
I see the power in your eyes 
           C 
You're glorious, I'm terrified 
            Dm 
A grain of sand upon an island 
           F 
The real estate inside your eyelids 
       Am 
I'm a tooth inside a smile 
         C 
I'm the soul you reconciled 
            Dm 
Would you offend my mind 

Offend my mind 
   F 
Offend my mind 

Offend my mind 
             Am 
Would you offend my mind
