Selah Chords by Lauryn Hill

_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] No [E] matter how we [A] remain in denial, yeah. _ _
Wasting time [F#m] replacing time with each empty [Bm] excuse.
_ [E] That'll only [A] work a little while.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] Coping with [A] despair, _ [F#] knowing you're not [Bm] there.
_ [E] Ashamed to just admit [A] I've been a fool. _
_ _ [E] So I blame it on [C#m] the sun, run [F#m] away from everyone.
[Bm] _ _ [E] Hoping to [C#m] escape this _ ridicule. _ _ _
[F#m] Trapped in misery, [C#m] _ [F#m] wrapped so miserably.
[Bm] _ [E] And this deception I'm [C#m] wearing like a skin.
_ _ _ _ [F#m] Dying to [C#m] maintain, oh, [F#m] I keep trying to [Bm] explain.
[E] A heart that never [A] loved me to begin. _
_ [Bm] _ [E] Oh, I'm such a mess.
[A] I have no [F#m] choice but to [Bm] confess that I've been [E] desperately
[A] trying to belong.
_ _ [Bm] _
[E] Lying to myself [A] and everybody [F#m] _
[Bm] else.
_ [E] Refusing to admit my [A] right was wrong.
_ And then he _ came.
[F#m] _ _ Say love, [Bm] what it means.
_ _ [C#m] Praise and meditation. _
[A] And then he [C#m] came.
_ [F#m] _ _
Say love, [F#] what it means. _
[C#m] Did you think about that?
[A] And then he [F#m] came.
_ Say _ [Bm] love, what it means.
_ [C#m] Praise and meditation.
_ [A] And then he [F#m] came.
_ _ Say love, [Bm] what it _ means.
[C#m] That is to see _ [A] how _ beautiful this fruit's [F#m] still
in denial of its [Bm] roots.
[E] My guilty heart [A] behaves so foolishly. _ _ _
This treason from [F#m] within, that reason with my sin.
[Bm] _ Won't [E] be happy till it [C#m] sees the death of me.
_ [Bm] _ _ [E] Selfishly addicted [A] _ [F#m] to a life that I [Bm] depicted.
[E] It conflicted cause [C#m] it's not reality. _ _
_ [Bm] _ [E] Oh, it's left to [A] me.
[F#] I beg you desperately.
[Bm] _ _ [E] Cause me to agree, [A] boy, I [F#] know it's best for me.
[Bm] Please [E] save me from myself.
[A] I need you to save me from myself.
[Bm] Please [E] save me from myself [C#m] so I can _ heal.
_ The [F#m] choices that I [C#m] make.
Or [F#m] have been nothing but [Bm] mistakes.
[E] Would have wasted you some [A] space.
Should [F#m] I die before I [C#m] wake?
[F#m] In all of my religion, [C#m] _
[F#m] I'm fortified this [Bm] prison.
_ [E] Obligated to [A] obey.
The demand [F#] is a bad decision. _ _
[Bm] Please [E] save me from myself.
[A] I need you to [F#] save me from [Bm] myself.
Please save [E] me from [C#m] myself so I can _ heal.
[A] And then he came.
[F#m] _ _ Say, Lord, [Bm] what it means.
_ _ [C#m] Praise and meditation.
_ [A] And then he came.
_ [F#m] _ _ Say, Lord, [Bm] what it means.
_ [C#m] Did you think about that?
_ [A] And he [C#m] _ [F#m] came. _
Say, Lord, [F#] what it means.
_ [C#m] _ Meditation.
_ _ [A] And then he came.
[F#m] _ _ [F#] Say, Lord, [Bm] what it _ means.
[C#m] Ready to see you.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ Oh. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ Oh.
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [F#m] Oh.
[Bm] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _
Oh.
_ [C#m] Oh. Oh.
Oh.
_ [F#m] _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
[E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ Oh.
And then he came. _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ _
And then he came.
And then he came.
And then he came. _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ _ And then he _ _ [F#m] came. _ _ _
[Bm] And _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ then he came. _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
