From wanting to be loved 
                   C          G 
From wanting to be praised by all 
                   Em 
From needing to be first 
                    C             G 
From finding all my worth in this world 
                   Em 
From wanting to be seen 
                 C             G 
From constant worrying about myself 

  C D   G 
Deliver Me 
                Em                      C                    G 
From validating words that only seem to serve a heart that's proud 
                  Em                    C         G 
And all my self esteem, dressed up in vanity and doubt 
                  Em               C        G 
From wondering if I am relevant in life, so God 


  C D   G     C D   G 
Deliver Me, Deliver Me 


                    C     G 
Show me what it all looks like 
Em                           C    G 
Scribbled on the pages of a human life 
Em                                C       G 
Riddled through the ages until we see the light 
                            D 
Breaking all the cages wide open 
              G 
Every little prison 


                     Em 
From fear of letting go 
                   C      G 
From fear of the unknown ahead 
               Em 
From being overlooked 
               C      G 
And so misunderstood again 
                   Em 
From fear of being judged 
                 C          G 
From rumors of a love that failed 


 C D   G     C D   G 
Deliver Me, Deliver Me 



                   C         G 
Let every night be more than I 
Em                         C        G 
Closer to the true at the sinner's side 
Em                            C      G 
Mostly I've no use for all my fallen pride  
                            D 
Breaking all the cages wide open 
                    G 
All these little prisons 
Em              C         G 
Show me what it all looks like 
Em                          C     G 
Scribbled on the pages of a human life 
Em                                C       G 
Riddled through the ages until we see the light 
                            D 
Breaking all the cages wide open 
               G 
Every little prison
