Jars of Clay – Save My Soul (Guitar)

Em                      Bm                G                   D
I get off the couch and try to defend the ways that I measure right

          Em                     Bm                                                              
But I'm a mouse on a wheel, I'll toil and steal

         G                  D
It's the same by the day or night

             Em             Bm                       
You see, the girls want the boys, the boys go to work

G                      D
Some things will never change

       Em                     Bm                         
But we shoot for the moon, we target the stars

          G                D
But we're always so out of range

                   G                   F#m  D  A
'Cause it'll never save my soul, never save my soul

      Bm        A         D     A
But I try and I try and I tryyyy

   Em                  Bm                  G                 D
I'm up but I'm late, a curse on my heels I stop when I have enough

   Em                    Bm                            G                      D
I drink to the cause and take the applause but there's too many cracks in the cup

                   G                         F#m  D  A
And it would never save my soul, would never save my soul

      Bm        A         D    A
But I try and I try and I tryyyy

To save my soul

And it would never save my soul, would never save my soul

No, no, no, no, no, it would never save my soul

Em                    Bm               G         D     
God, can you take the weight off of my shoulders now

Em                Bm                            G               D
