Chords

[Verse 1]
C                 C/B       Am
I've seen a saint fall from grace

        F                 G         C
But I'm not sure that I'd use that phrase

C                 C/B             Am
So, if grace is something you can misplace

     F                 G        C
Then what's the point of it anyway?

C                      C/B      Am
'Cause I said it would never be me

F                       G       C
To waver in this faith, I decree

C                    C/B          Am
The apple don't fall far from the tree

    F                 G       Am
The human condition's hereditary

        F                 G       C
Oh, the human condition's hereditary
[Chorus]
                   F                         C
'Cause it's in the blood coursing through my veins

         G                  Am
Same old story, same family name

         F                     C
Prone to wonder, this heart in me

           F                 G       Am
'Cause the human condition's hereditary

               F                 G       Am
So would you come take an axe to my family tree?

    F                          G       C
Oh, heavenly father, would you adopt me?
[Verse 2: Jess Ray]
C                 C/B       Am
Well I've stood by in disbelief

              F                       G       C
Watching the pastor pull up in a sports car to preach

C                          C/B                    Am
About how blessed are the poor and blessed are the meek

   F                        G     C
And I can't help but see the irony

       C                 C/B         Am
'Cause that same impulse lives in me too

F                          G       C
Put me in the garden, I've taken the fruit

F                 G       Am
The human condition's not just for the few

         F                         G       Am
Oh, it's here in me just like it's here in you
[Chorus: Chris Renzema & Jess Ray] Cause it's in the blood coursing through my veins
         G                  Am
Same old story, same family name

         F                     C
Prone to wonder, this heart in me

           F                 G       Am
'Cause the human condition's hereditary

               F                 G       Am
So would you come take an axe to my family tree?

    F                          G       C
Oh, heavenly father, would you adopt me?
[Outro: Chris Renzema & Jess Ray] Cause it's in the blood coursing through my veins
         G                  Am
Same old story, same family name

         F                     C
Prone to wonder, this heart in me

           F                 G       Am
'Cause the human condition's hereditary

               F                 G       Am
So would you come take an axe to my family tree?

    F                            G       Am
Would you pull up the roots of my family tree?

    F                          G     C
Oh, heavenly father, would you adopt me?
