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