Chords

Can play Am7 - x02213 in the chorus. [Verse]
Am
We could wrestle with tomorrow

         C
till tomorrow's in the past

              Dm7
Cause I have torn apart what's beautiful

       F              F/G
to prove that nothing lasts

                Am
I have stayed locked behind this door

      C
to show there's no way out

         Dm7
I've got lost within the space between

      F               F/G
the question and the doubt
[Chorus]
       Am
On an ordinary day

       F
In an ordinary way

        Dm7
I have combed the cracks of virtue,

        F                F/G
for a place to lay the blame

             Am
And I have hated, I have lied

        F
Been guilty and denied

        Dm7
I've dismissed the ones who question me,

    F              F/G
declaring, "I am right!"

                 Am  C
What if I'm wrong?

                 Dm7  F  F/G
What if I'm wrong?
[Verse]
Am
I have built a wall between

       C
what I believe and what is true

Dm7
I have sacrificed the love I have

F              F/G
for power over you

Am
I have inflicted those who disagree

           C
and walked over the weak

Dm7                        F/G
I have placed a gun within the mouth

   F                 F/G
of those who dare to speak
[Chorus]
      Am
On an ordinary day

      F
In an ordinary way

       Dm7
I have crushed the minds of children

     F             F/G
with extraordinary shame

       Am
I have carried on this war,

       F
though no one wins an endless fight

       Dm7
I have claimed that God is guiding me,

    F               F/G
and killed to prove I'm right

                 Am  C
What if I'm wrong?

                 Dm7  F  F/G
What if I'm wrong?

                 Am  C
What if I'm wrong?

                 Dm7  F  F/G
What if I'm wrong?
[Bridge]
        Em               Am
Is this soul worth saving at all?

Em                                 Am
Because if I lose my wings, then surely I must fall

  Dm7           F         F/G
And God, thank..for ..
[Verse]
            C                         Am
We could wrestle with tomorrow till tomorrow's in the past

         Dm7
We could tear apart what's beautiful

     F                 F/G
to prove that nothing lasts

         C
We could stay locked behind the doors

        Am
to show there's no way out

       Dm7
We got lost within the space

            F                F/G
between the question and the doubt

                  Am
What if we're wrong?
