Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Verse:
             Am                                              D
I met the devil Sunday morninʼ with his hands in the air
                  F                                              G
He blew his paycheck on the plate that they were passinʼ
           Am                                              D
Heʼs testifyinʼ in the light, but he was heartless in prayer
             F                                              G
He had the spirit and expensive taste in fashion

Pre-chorus:
  Am                                     D
Iʼm the one that you came and slaughtered
F                   G
You spin me around
  Am                        D
I was lookinʼ for livinʼ water
F                     G
You just let me drown

Chorus:
              F                     C
I put my faith in a sinnerʼs town
                    E7                           Am
Land of the free chained to the ground
              F                     C
When I look for kindness now
                  E7                     Am
Humankind just lets me down

Post-chorus:
F                  C
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
        E7                           Am
Oh, my heavenʼs cussing me out
F                  C
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
        E7                           Am
Humankind just lets me down

Verse:
             Am                                              D
They lost the message in a bottle, now itʼs covered in blood
                  F                                              G
They sell a savinʼ just to make a Great Commission
                Am                                                    D
We love the ones who hurt us, then we hurt the ones that we love
             F                                        G
Weʼre sacrificinʼ one another for tradition

Pre-chorus:
  Am                                     D
Iʼm the one that you came and slaughtered
F                   G
You spin me around
  Am                        D
I was lookinʼ for livinʼ water
F                     G
You just let me drown

Chorus:
              F                     C
I put my faith in a sinnerʼs town
                    E7                           Am
Land of the free chained to the ground
              F                     C
When I look for kindness now
                  E7                     Am
Humankind just lets me down

Post-chorus:
F                  C
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
        E7                           Am
Oh, my heavenʼs cussing me out
F                  C
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
        E7                           Am
Humankind just lets me down

Bridge:
           F                  C
When itʼs all said and done
                 E7                           Am
Iʼm just a man, youʼre just a woman
      F          C
So take my hand
                    E7
Iʼm only human
I need you to take me
