Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
When I am dead and the light leaves my breast
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]F/A[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
Nothing to be told, nothing to confess
ch]C[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Let the record show what I couldn't quite confess
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]F/A[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
For by living for myself I was living for unrest
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Then the evidence came back in a chariot of vindication
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]F/A[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
Something to behold, glorious in its path
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But the prophecy fell back as it gave to me an invitation
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]F/A[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
Show them what is right, show them what is blessed
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But now it strikes me far too late again
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
That I was asking far too much of everyone around me
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And now it strikes me far too late again
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
That I should answer for myself as the Ascension falls upon me

Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
ch]C[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
So what should be said of a life that leaves its mess?
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]F/A[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
For once your life was sold it could never be possessed
ch]C[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
You were selfishly as a continent, you were finally at your best
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]F/A[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
For you favored for yourself when selfishness was blessed
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Then Cordelia came back in a chariot hallucination
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]F/A[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
Something to rejoice, glorious in its wrath
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]Em[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But the prophecy was a pantomime as it came to me in accusation
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]F/A[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
Show them what is right, show them what is best
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But now it strikes me far too late again
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
That I was asking far too much of everyone around me
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And now it strikes me far too late again
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
That I should answer for myself as the Ascension falls upon me
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And now it frightens me, the thought against my chest
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
To think I was asking for a reason
ch]F/A[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
Explaining why everything's a total mess
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
And now it frightens me, the dreams that I possess
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
To think I was acting like a believer
ch]F/A[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
When I was just angry and depressed
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch
And to everything, there is no meaning
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
A season of pain and hopelessness
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch
I shouldn't have looked for revelation
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I should have resigned myself to this
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch
I thought I could change the world around me
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I thought I could change the world for best
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch
I thought I was called in convocation
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I thought I was sanctified and blessed
Verse 4→ Phiên khúc
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch] [ch]Am[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
But now it strengthens me to know the truth at last
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
That everything comes from consummation
ch]F/A[/ch] [ch]G/B[/ch
And everything comes with consequence
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch
And I did it all with exultation
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
While you did it all with hopelessness
ch]Dm[/ch] [ch]C/E[/ch
Yes, I did it all with adoration
ch]F[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
While you killed it off with all of your holy mess
