Chords

[Intro]
Em
Blinded by a fear of feeling,

       C
these are the kings we chose

Em
Lost and looking for the meaning,

             C
I've been searching high and low

Em
When we fade into nothing,

        C
when we go up in the smoke

Em
We'll beg God for a mercy

          C
that He knows we'd never show
Em D C A Em D C Em D C [Verse 1]
Em
On a canvas we stained with blood

      D
and painted with our sins

Am
There's a candle melting

            C
and it's burning at  both ends

Em
We'll take and take till it caves and drowns us

D
in the wax it drips

Am
Like a moth to a flame,

             C
you never should've fucking lit
[Pre-Chorus]
         Em
You can give sight to the blind,

         D
But you can't force them to see

            C
You could take us back in time

          A
But it wouldn't change a thing
[Chorus]
   Em
If God came down from His kingdom,

    D
He came down from His home

        Am
And we asked Him if he'd take us back,

           C
He would surely tell us no

   Em
If God came down from His kingdom,

    D
He came down from His throne

         Am
And we asked Him if He'd take us back,

          C
He would tell us we can't go
Em D C [Verse 2]
Em
To a rat in a maze,

            D
the end is where the start begins

Am
But if we made it out,

                     C
I know that we would do it all again

Em
We live and die in vain

              D
like treasure on a sinking ship

Am
All in the name of a God we'd just

C
abandon and forget
[Chorus]
   Em
If God came down from His kingdom,

    D
He came down from His home

        Am
And we asked Him if He'd take us back,

           C
He would surely tell us no

   Em
If God came down from His kingdom,

   D
He came down from His throne

        Am
And we asked Him if He'd take us back,

          C
He would tell us we can't go
[Bridge]
Em                   D
We're dying everyday

                            Am
Tell me, is it all in vain?

                           C
Is it worth the suffering?

                              Em
Is it worth the price we paid?

                     D
We're dying everyday

                            Am
Tell me, is it all in vain?

                           C
Is it worth the suffering?
Is it worth it? [Pre-Chorus]
        Em
You can give sight to the blind

         D
But you can't force them to see

           C
You could take us back in time

           A
 But it wouldn't change a thing
[Chorus]
   Em
If God came down from His kingdom,

    D
He came down from His home

         Am
And we asked Him if He'd take us back
C
   Em
If God came down from His kingdom,

    D
He came down from His throne

        Am
And we asked Him if He'd take us back,

          C
He would tell us we can't go
