verse 1 
C                                Am/C        
 The morning comes like an enemy soldier 
C                                Am/C         
 I feel the weight across my shoulders 
Am                             F         
  I feel the shadows getting colder 
               C    Am/C 
But that ain’t you 
C                               Am/C  
 This noose ain’t getting any looser 
C                            Am/C   
 I get so fearful about the future 
Am             G           F 
  I hear the shame of my accuser 
               C    E7 
But that ain’t you 


        F                                     C 
I found strength, but it wasn’t what I thought 
        F                            C 
I found peace in the places I forgot 
        F                                         E/G#             
I found riches ain’t the things that I had bought 
        Am                    G 
I found out the day I lost myself 
                             
Was the day that I found God

verse 2 
C                               Am/C    
 I get caught chasing my own illusions 
C                           Am/C 
 I get so lost in these confusions 
Am           G                  F    
 I keep on looking for my own solutions 
               C               E7 
But that ain’t you, that ain’t you no 


          F                             C 
My enemies weren’t the ones I had fought  
                F                                 C 
And my liberties weren’t the freedoms I had sought 
       F                                          E/G# 
What I learned weren’t the lessons I’d been taught 
        Am                   G 
I found out the day I lost myself 
                             
Was the day that I found God

Bridge 
Am                          F2                       
  Where is God out in the darkness? 
Am                                            F2 
  ’Cause the voices in my head ain’t talking honest 
Am                                G       F2    
 They’re saying maybe you made us then forgot us 
               C               E7 
But that ain’t you, that ain’t you no 


          F                                     C 
And all I know is that I still don’t know a lot 
                    F                                    C 
I don’t know how it ends, I’m in the middle of this plot 
                  F                               E/G# 
Yeah, and I found grace for the man that I am not 
              Am                    G 
Yeah, I found out the day I lost myself 
              Am                    G/B 
Yeah, I found out the day I lost myself 
              Am                    G 
Yeah, I found out the day I lost myself 
                            C   Am/C     
Was the day that I found God
