Citizens – I Am Living In A Land Of Death (Guitar)

    F                   Am
I'm living in a land of death

    C                   F
The trees are burnt and gray

          F                    Am
There's a smoldering smoke overhead

        C                           G
And the night looks the same as the day

           F                  Am
It seems a miracle that I can stand

     C             F
When everyone I've known

       F                      Am
Drifts up in the air with the ash

      C                            G
Every time that the wind starts to blow

            F           Am              C
But I feel alive with a life that's not mine

              F              Am             C   G
Your law is a stream in this wasteland - my lifeline

        F                  C
So much more than precious gold

         F           Am
are your promises my Lord

        F               C
By them is your servant warned

                 G
in keeping them great reward

     F                      Am
Your direction is marked in light

     C              F
Your law secures my wounds

       F                Am
I will meditate day and night

       C                          G
And in season you'll harvest your fruit

            F                      Am
Though a poison should threaten to kill

  C              F
I know my savior reigns

         F                            Am
And when the breezes of death leave a chill

         C                  G
I've got Jesus' blood in my veins

           F           Am              C
So I feel alive with a life that's not mine

              F             Am        C         G
And I'm believing that that is your intended design

        F                  C
So much more than precious gold

         F           Am
are your promises my Lord

        F               C
By them is your servant warned

                 G
in keeping them great reward

                F
The kingdoms of man have all decayed

             Dm
The ruins of progress turn to waste

            C
The gods of greed lay in their graves

            G/E
Darkness is everywhere

                          F
But there's a path in the dark that has emerged

                  Dm
I can see a great light beyond this curse

            Am
A brilliant blaze that is your word

            G/E
A beacon of hope that burns

               F
And I focus my captivated gaze

               Dm
On the radiant light from Jesus' face

             C
The water of life is all I crave

          Em
Only your word remains

        F
So much more than precious gold

       Dm
Is the beauty I behold

            C
Give me the glorious reward

           Em
Of knowing you, my King, my Lord
