[Verse 1]
G5 A5                F7    F
I am a chorus of the voices

                   G5    A5
That gather up the mag- -nets

N.C.          F7 F G5 A5
Set before me

                    F7
I attract you and repel you

                 G5    A5
A science of the heart

N.C.                    F7  F
And blood and meaning

G5 A5
I want to see you on the floor

F7               F
And in a coffin, soul shaking

A5 G5
I want to have you doubting
N.C. Every meaning you've amassed
       F7                 F
Like a fortune, like a fortune

N.C.              A5 G5
Throw it away
N.C. For worship of someone
N.C.                      F7 F
Who actively despises you
[Chorus]
             A5       C5   G5 F5 F7 D5
Who actively despises you

A5       C5   G5 F5 F7 D5
I am the root

A5       C5       G5 F5 F7 D5
I am the progress

A5        C5      G5 F5 F7 D5
I'm the aggressor

A5       C5     G5 F5 F7 D5
I am the tablet

          A5     G5 A5 F7 F G5 A5
these ten stories
[Verse 2]
F7
Worship

F
Worship

G5 A5
Pain and evil have their place
N.C. Sittin' here beside me
                       F7
I offer them to you as servants

       F                         G5 A5
Of the gold that you must give
N.C. Pain and evil have their place
F7             F
Sitting here beside me

                       G5            A5
And I'll offer them, I offer them to you
N.C. As servants of the gold
              F7         F
That you must give to me

G5 A5
For worship of someone

N.C.                      F7 F G5
Who actively despises you
[Chorus]
A5                        C5 G5 F5 F7 D5
Who actively despises you

         A5   C5 G5 F5 F7 D5
I am the view

         A5   C5 G5 F5 F7 D5
I am the table

         A5   C5 G5     F5     F7 D5
I am the view. I am the table.

         A5    C5 G5
I am all these!

         F5 F7 D5
I am the root!

    A5        C5 G5
The progress!

       F5      F7 D5
The aggressor!

         A5    C5 G5
I am the table!

         F5           F7 D5 A5   C5 G5 F5
I am the ten stories!

N.C.                F7 D5
I am the table!
