C Am Em
Guess I had to find out the hard way
C Am Em
The things I have come here to learn
C Am Em
The fire of this pleasure it can warm me
F Em Am
But in the end it only burns
C Am Em
He could put me high on a pedestal
C Am Em
He could rob me of my shame
C Am Em
He could hold me down under water, 'Til I
F Em Am
Could not remember my own name
Chorus
G F Am
In my mind I see the house I'm building
G F Am
In my hands the hammer and the nail
C Am Em
Gonna send my wishes up to glory
F Em Am
Gonna shake that devil off my trail
C Am Em
In my time I've done some meanness
C Am Em
Brought the ones I love so much pain
C Am Em
Pride it was eating all my heart away
F Em Am
My soul was rusting in the rain
C Am Em
All these sins I am confessing
C Am Em
They still come knocking' at my door
C Am Em
But I know better that to answer, I tell them
F Em Am
That girl don't live here anymore
Chorus
C Am Em
Ev'ry living thing is calling out to me
C Am Em
The leaves on the trees wave me on
C Am Em
Got a wind to lift me when I'm falling
F Em Am
Got a road to put my feet upon
