GD-alt
The air begins to feel a little thin
D* A
As I start the car and then I begin
GD-alt
To add the miles piled up behind me
D* A
I barely feel a smile deep inside me
GD-alt
And I begin to envy the headlights driving south
D* A
I want to crack the door so I can just fall out
GD-alt
But then I remember when you packed my car
D* A
You reached in the back and bucked up your heart
GD-alt D* A
For me to drive away with
GD-alt D*
I began to understand
AG
Why God died
GD-alt D* A
2x
GD-alt
The demons sat there waiting on her porch
D* A
It was a little dark so we held a makeshift torch
GD-alt
And when my car was far out of sight
D* A
He crept in her room and stayed there for the night
G
And then I felt chills in my bones
D-alt
The breath I saw was not my own
D*
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame
A
Wasn't made to play this game
G
And then I saw Him, torch in hand
D-alt
He laid it out, what he had planned
D*
And then I said, I'll take the grave
A
Please, just send them all my way
2x
GD-alt D* AGD-alt D*

Why God died

2x
GD-alt
The air begins to feel a little thin
D* A
As we're waiting for the morning to begin
GD-alt
But for now you told me to hold this jar
D*
And when I looked inside, I saw
A
It held your heart
GD-alt D* A
For me to walk away with
GD-alt D*
I began to understand
A
Why God died
