   D                            G          D 
Is there something wrong in the way that I think 
       D            A       D 
Well I think I need all the time 
      D                            G          D 
Cause there's nothing right in the way that I see 
D            A             D 
What someone deems true to me 


        Em           G                D            A 
Oh I've sang for the funeral and I've sang for the wedding 
       Em           G             D                   A 
Theres no amount of love, no more death that keeps me steady 
Em            G              D           A 
Thirst in the spring and I'm drowning by fall 
   Em           G         D            A            D 
If I can't have all of my pain I won't have none at all

      D                          G             D 
Did I say something wrong when I spoke to your son 
       D              A      D 
When I begged down on bended knees 
        D                    G          D 
With an ache in my gut and a plea on my tongue 
 D                A                  D 
Another mouth you couldn't afford to feed 


     Em            G             D             A 
Oh I prayed on the hilltop and I prayed in the valley 
       Em           G              D                  A 
Theres no amount of trust, no good plea that makes it holy 
Em            G              D           A 
Thirst in the spring and I'm drowning by fall 
    Em           G         D                    A            Em  G D A 
Now what good is acting in faith when you don't have none at all 

 
Em            G              D              A      Em 
I've spent my life trying to fit in someone else's skin 
Em   G           D               A          Em 
Left holding the hopes of what I wished I'd been 
Em     G           D            A          Em 
So I'm dreaming in fire but I'm smoking in shame 
Em      G           D            A           Em 
What if I'd burn it off, would I know my own face 
Em      G        D    A 
What if I became only flame 
Em      G        D    A 
What if I became only flame 
Em         G          D     A 
What would be left of me to blame 
Em  G              A                       D 
How bright would I burn without all of the shame
