Verse: 
Guitar 1: 
C#      B                                        A 
Emotive unstable, You're like an unwinding cable car. 
C#            B                                        A 
Listening for voices but it's the choices that make us who we are 
C#          B 
Go your own way. Even seasons have changed. 
                A 
Just burn those new leaves over, 
C#      B 
So self-absorbed, you've seemed to ignore the prayers 
          A 
that have already come about.

C#          B                                 A 
This is the correlation between salvation and love 
C#             B 
 Don't drop your arms, I'll guard your heart 
           A 
With quiet words I'll lead you in.

Verse: 

Backing away from the problem of pain. You never had a home. 
You've been misguided. You're hiding in shadows, for so very long. 
Don't you believe that you've been deceived? 
That you're no better than...The hair in your eyes, 
it never disguises what you're really thinking of.

You're so brilliant, grace marked your heart.
