Chords for Attalus - Into the Sea - The Breath Before the Plunge

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em]
My head's high but I'm wearing a blindfold
Forced to march to the rhythm of [Am] their cold fists
To play a beat on my cheeks and my lips
Joined by the clatter of the chains on [Em] my wrists
I have the right to remain blind
And if I open my eyes or my [Am] mind I'll get cast aside
By the majority rule
That God distinguishes the wise from [Em] the fools
My head's high but it's starting to throb
I hate the sound of those [Am] bloodthirsty mob-banged words
That fill in the sentences that paint up the witnesses
They curse and they spit to the [Em] references
I have the right to remain silent
And anything I say or I do they'll [Am] malign
And they'll use to accuse me in their court of law
But this is no court at all
It isn't [D] just, no [Bm] it isn't just
But why do [Em] I contend?
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
They're not my judge, no they're not my judge
So I am [C] not content
No I am not [B] content
From [Am] you to me
From you to us
God feast [Em] on my tears
Men's feet throw up
But I'll [Bm] have no fear
I'll shout and pull
My rights I'll [C] leave you naked
I'll leave you standing outside of [E] my room
They scream loud as I'm led to the scaffold
[Em] My executioner's shout comes [Am] unpaveled in my face
They beat me till I crumble to my knees
My body's crushed but my spirit's at [Em] ease
I have the right to remain a coward
When I've been waiting for this day and this [Am] hour
And I prayed that I'd stay brave and true to the end
Oh God you know I'd do it [Em] again
Crawling out to the end of the ledge
I'll finally give what I pledge
I'll finally hear it in the air
[Am] Of a dominant, one step, one miraculous moment
I taste it, I sense it, I already [Em] own it
The right to remain God
When I could never fit in this crowd
I took it [Am] all for what I'd traveled
And it popped out of only a man
And I can't hold this world in my [Em] hands
Is it [Am] right?
No, it isn't right
But [Em] why do I regret it?
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] _
I'll [Bm] be alright
Yes, I'll be alright
When I have come [C] to rest
When I have come [B] to [Bm] rest
[Am] Commute to me
_ Don't use your words
Like these are [Em] my tears
When she's corrupt
It's right, I [Bm] have no fear
I shed it with my tired [C] new hair
Telling [Bm] you to stay outside of [Em] my remains
This vial from this vial
It drips with blood and sour [A]
wine
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
But I'll drink my father's blood
I'll [E] drink it till I drink it from [C] the vine
_ _ [A] _ _ [Am] _ Oh, [Em]
how I thirst for this
I yearn for this
Taste of [Am] ecstasy
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
I'm [Em] finally coming home
I bet it's make-believe
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It's in the air
[Bm] _ It's filling up my [Em] lungs
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [G] _
I'm almost there
[Bm] This is the breath before the [Em]
plunge
_ _ _ _ [G] Come Providence
Come take me home
Tonight my [C] wholeness
_ Has kept my burning love [G]
sweetest
Watch this old world from side
Come [C] Providence Come [Cm] Providence
[G] Come Providence
_ Come take me home
Tonight my [C] wholeness
_ Has kept my burning love [G] _
sweetest
Watch this old world from side
[C] Come, _ come [C] Providence
_ _ [G] My head's high and I'm frantically holding
That light that my face always [C] was so low
Words can't describe how it feels to feel [G] alive
Today I'm chubby clean, I'm chubby raw Giving [C] everything
You're worth it all, [D] you're worth it all
[C] Jesus, you're worth [G] the offering _
