Verse
Dm               C
I was hopeless, chained to vice after vice 
Gm                   Bb                                     Dm Bb  Dm Bb C
and I defied you until I prayed you would just let me die. 
Dm                      C
I was finished and slept in grave after grave 
Gm                                Bb
and waited buried, but the end I deserved never came.
Chorus
Dm                    Bb
The wrath that I was owed 
Bb                   C
poured on your blameless son,
Dm                   F
for every song I’ve sung 
F               Gm
still it seems senseless.
Dm                   Bb
The righteousness He owned, 
Bb                 C
free to us wicked ones. 
Dm               F
I fit it in my lungs but 
F               Gm
it leaves me breathless.
Verse 2
Dm                 C
You were fearless, and took my shame upon shame 
Gm                  Bb
and as I yielded you were crushed by the weight.
Dm                  C
But It was finished when by grace upon grace
Gm                  Bb
hell was silenced as you stepped out from your grave.
Chorus
Dm                    Bb
The wrath that I was owed 
Bb                   C
poured on your blameless son,
Dm                   F
for every song I’ve sung 
F                  Gm
still it seems senseless.
Dm                   Bb
The righteousness He owned, 
Bb                 C
free to us wicked ones. 
Dm               F
I fit it in my lungs but 
F                Gm
it leaves me breathless.

Bridge
Dm 
Since the first time you spoke it, 
C
I've been winded and gasping for air.
Gm  
I can barely repeat it. 
Bb
I believe but I don’t understand 
Dm
how for all of the violence 
C
and rebellion that heaves in my chest, 
Gm
You could call me forgiven, 
Bb
and restore every last wasted breath.
Outro
Dm  
Hell go on and rage, 
C
whatever you may say 
Gm
my G-d, He speaks for me 
Bb
and I'll not be ashamed.
Dm
Hell go on and rage, 
C
you can't change a thing. 
Gm
My G-d, You speak for me 
Bb
so I'll not be ashamed.
