Verse 1 

Dm 
Hey redeemer now what`s become of me? 
F                      C 
Taken in by promise, awakening in grief 
Dm 
Collecting us like puppets you instrumentalize 
F                          C 
A frigid trepidation in a million puppet eyes 


Pre-Chorus 

Bb            F                  Bb                 C 
God gave His word just to let us down, where is He now? 




G                   D 
You've been facing heaven 
          C                           Am            D 
You were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and 
G              D 
Found another heaven 
        C                           Am               D 
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land

Verse 2 

Dm 
You scratched my back and I scratched yours 
F                                    C 
It's you who makes decisions, I just open up the doors 
Dm 
Whining in the gutter they forget their sanctity 
F                            C 
Welcome to my clockwork vanity machinery 


Pre-Chorus 

Bb             F                Bb             C 
You gave your word, you let me down what am I now? 




G                   D 
You've been facing heaven 
          C                           Am            D 
You were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and 
G              D 
Found another heaven 
        C                           Am               D         C 
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land 


Bridge 

C                Em 
Oh as far as the eye can see 
                    C               Em 
They're bent in submission, empty inside 
            C                                Em 
An army of scarecrows like me, thousands of broken dreams 
              C                                 Em 
Thousands of tragedies tried to run from their destiny 
                     C                D 
Oh, like moths to a flame, driven by vanity 
                       C                   D                D 
They've been off to Jerusalem, chasing a dream, calling on me 
                       Dm 
We're just trading in needs

G                   D 
You've been facing heaven 
          C                           Am            D 
You were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and 
G              D 
Found another heaven 
        C                           Am               D 
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land (2x)
