Verse:
G# D#
The air begins to feel a little thin
Cm A#
As I start the car and then I begin
G# D#
To add the miles piled up behind me
Cm A#
I barely feel a smile deep inside me
G# D#
And I begin to envy the headlights driving south
Cm A#
I want to crack the door so I can just fall out
G# D#
But then I remember when you packed my car
Cm A#
You reached in the back and bucked up your heart
G# D# Cm A#
For me to drive away with
Chorus:
G# D# Cm
I began to understand
A# G#
Why God died
G# D# Cm A# x2
Verse:
G# D#
The demon sat there waiting on her porch
Cm A#
It was a little dark so we held a makeshift torch
G# D#
And when my car was far out of sight
Cm A#
He crept in her room and stayed there for the night
G#
And then I felt chills in my bones
D#
The breath I saw was not my own
Cm
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame
A#
Wasnʼt made to play this game
G#
And then I saw Him, torch in hand
D#
He laid it out, what he had planned
Cm
And then I said, Iʼll take the grave
A#
Please, just send them all my way
G# D# Cm A#
Chorus:
G# D# Cm
I began to understand
A#
Why God died
G# D# Cm A# x2
Outro:
G# D#
The air begins to feel a little thin
Cm A#
As weʼre waiting for the morning to begin
G# D#
But for now you told me to hold this jar
Cm
And when I looked inside, I saw
A#
It held your heart
G# D# Cm A#
For me to walk away with
G# D# Cm
I began to understand
A#
Why God died
G# D#
