[Intro]
Bm A D F#m
Bm A E
[Verse]
Bm A D F#m
An arrow is stuck between my ribs
Bm A E
And I pray to God, don’t let it end like this
Bm A D F#m
I fought like a man with will to live
Bm A E
But I was betrayed by the man within
Bm A D F#m
How on earth did it all go down like this?
Bm A E
I’ve got no words to make sense of it
Bm A D F#m
My shield, my fight for righteousness
Bm A E
Could not protect me from myself
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m A
I’m looking for the higher power
E
To be my mighty tower
F#m A
Save me from myself, Oh yeah
F#m A
But I’m-a fall seven more times
E
And it ain’t nobody’s fault except mine
F#m A
There’s only one way out
[Chorus]
Bm A D
Please, Lord, forgive me
F#m Bm
I’m down on my bended knees
A E
And I need your love
Bm A D
Mercy is your medicine
F#m Bm
Help me turn around again
A E Esus4
To You, my friend
[Instrumental]
Bm A D F#m Bm A E
[Verse]
Bm A D F#m
How long did I fool myself
Bm A E
Believing I, I didn’t need nobody’s help
Bm A D F#m
A fool trusts in his power and his wealth
Bm
Until he’s brought down low
A E
Unto a shadow of himself
Bm A D F#m
The arrow was sent to intervene
Bm A E
It pierced my bones and shook me from my dream
Bm A D F#m
Lord You know exactly what I need
Bm A E
Wounds from a friend, severe mercy
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m A
I’m looking for the higher power
E
To be my mighty tower
F#m A
Save me from myself, Oh yeah
F#m A
But I’m-a fall seven more times
E
And it ain’t nobody’s fault except mine
F#m A
There’s only one way out
[Chorus]
Bm A D
Please, Lord, forgive me
F#m Bm
I’m down on my bended knees
A E Esus4
And I need your love
Bm A D
Mercy is your medicine
F#m Bm
Help me turn around again
A E Esus4 E
To You, my friend
