A _ _ We'll

F#m this, all by

A Tempted and tried, I wonder
D why.
The good man dies, bad man
F#m thrives.
And Jesus cries, cause he loves
E them both.
We're all
A castaways in need of rope.
Hanging on by the last threads of
D our hope.
In a house of mirrored full of
F#m smoke.
Confusing illusions
E I've seen.
Where
A did I go wrong.
I sang along to every chorus of the song.
F#m That the devil wrote like a pipe around
E the gate.
Leading my
A son down to their fate.
Some will courageously
D escape.
With a seductive voice, with a
F#m heart of faith.
While walking the line back
E home.
There's so
A much more to life than we've been told.
D It's full of beauty that will unfold.
F#m And shine like you struck gold, my
E wayward son.
The dead weight of burden weighs
A a ton.
I'll go down to the river and let it
D run.
Wash away all
A the things
F#m you've done.
Forgiveness,
E alright.

E _ But still
A I get hard pressed on every
D side.
Between the rock and the compromise.
F#m Like truth in a pack of lies fighting for
E my soul.
I got no
A place left to go.
Cause I got changed by what I've
D been shown.
There's more glory than the world has
F#m known.
Keeps me rambling
E on.
And skipping like
A a cave lost.
Promised
D all I'm free to love once and for
F#m all.
And even when I fall I get
E back up.
For the joy that overflows
A my cup.
Heaven filled me with more
D than enough.
Broke down my levies and
F#m my gloves.
Let the flood
E wash me.
And
A one day when the sky rolls back on
D us.
Some rejoice and the
A others fuss.
Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess.
The son of God he's forever blessed.
His is the kingdom and
D we're the guests.
So put your
F#m voice up to the test.
Sing Lord come
E soon.
Oh
A yeah.
