Selection chords: Katie Paterson

Intro:
Em
Blinded by a fear of feeling,
       C
these are the kings we chose
Em
Lost and looking for the meaning,
             C
Iʼve been searching high and low
Em
When we fade into nothing,
        C
when we go up in the smoke
Em
Weʼll beg God for a mercy
          C
that He knows weʼd never show

Em D C A
Em Em D C
Em Em D C

Verse:
Em
On a canvas we stained with blood
      D
and painted with our sins
Am
Thereʼs a candle melting
            C
and itʼs burning at  both ends
Em
Weʼll take and take till it caves and drowns us
D
in the wax it drips
Am
Like a moth to a flame,
             C
you never shouldʼve fucking lit

Pre-chorus:
         Em
You can give sight to the blind,
         D
But you canʼt force them to see
            C
You could take us back in time
          A
But it wouldnʼt change a thing

Chorus:
   Em
If God came down from His kingdom,
    D
He came down from His home
        Am
And we asked Him if heʼd take us back,
           C
He would surely tell us no
   Em
If God came down from His kingdom,
    D
He came down from His throne
         Am
And we asked Him if Heʼd take us back,
          C
He would tell us we canʼt go

Em Em D C

Verse:
Em
To a rat in a maze,
            D
the end is where the start begins
Am
But if we made it out,
                     C
I know that we would do it all again
Em
We live and die in vain
              D
like treasure on a sinking ship
Am
All in the name of a God weʼd just
C
abandon and forget

Chorus:
   Em
If God came down from His kingdom,
    D
He came down from His home
        Am
And we asked Him if Heʼd take us back,
           C
He would surely tell us no
   Em
If God came down from His kingdom,
   D
He came down from His throne
        Am
And we asked Him if Heʼd take us back,
          C
He would tell us we canʼt go

Bridge:
Em                   D
Weʼre dying everyday
                            Am
Tell me, is it all in vain?
                           C
Is it worth the suffering?
                              Em
Is it worth the price we paid?
                     D
Weʼre dying everyday
                            Am
Tell me, is it all in vain?
                           C
Is it worth the suffering?

Is it worth it?

Pre-chorus:
        Em
You can give sight to the blind
         D
But you canʼt force them to see
           C
You could take us back in time
           A
 But it wouldnʼt change a thing

Chorus:
   Em
If God came down from His kingdom,
    D
He came down from His home
         Am
And we asked Him if Heʼd take us back

C

   Em
If God came down from His kingdom,
    D
He came down from His throne
        Am
And we asked Him if Heʼd take us back,
          C
He would tell us we canʼt go

Outro:
Em
Blinded by a fear of feeling,
       D
