  			Intro: Am F C G 

Am                          F 
Oh my God, look around this place, 
               C 
Your fingers reach around the bone, 
             G 
you set the break and set the tone 
                Am                F 
For flights of grace, and future falls 
            C             G           F 
In present pain all fools say,"Oh my God." 

C G F C G 

Am                          F 
Oh my God, why are we so afraid? 
              C                   
We make it worse when we don't bleed, 
             G 
There is no cure for our disease. 
         Am              F 
Turn a phrase and rise again, 
              C                             G 
Or fake your death and only tell your closest friends, 
       F 
Oh My God. 

C G F C G F C 


       Am            F 
Oh my God, can I complain? 
          C                                G 
You take away my firm belief and graft my soul upon your grief. 
           Am            F 
Weddings, boats, and alibis, 
           C                  G 
All drift away, and a mother cries...

Am 
Sometimes I can not forgive 
     G               G/B 
and these days mercy cuts so deep, 
C/E 
If the world was how it should be,  
F 
maybe I could get some sleep. 
Am 
While I lay, I'd dream we're better,  
G                    G/B 
scales were gone and faces lighter, 
C/E 
When we wake we hate our brother,  
F 
we still move to hurt each other, 
Am 
Sometimes I can close my eyes  
G                     G/B 
and all the fear the keeps me silent, 
C/E 
Falls below my heavy breathing,  
F 
what makes me so badly bent? 
Am 
We all have a chance to murder,  
G                G/B 
we all have the need for wonder. 
C/E                           F 
We still want to be reminded that the pain is worth the plunder. 

Am 
Sometimes when I lose my grip,  
G                G/B 
I wonder what to make of heaven, 
C/E 
All the times I thought to reach up,  
F 
all the times I had to give up. 
Am 
Babies underneath their beds,  
G             G/B 
in hospitals that can not treat them. 
C/E 
All the wounds that money causes,  
F 
all the comforts of cathedrals, 
Am 
All the cries of thirsty children,  
G           G/B 
this is our inheritance, 
C/E 
All the rage of watching mothers,  
F 
this is our greatest offense 
F          G          Am       F 
Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God.
