As I raise my head to [G] broadcast my [D]
objection
[Dm] As your [G] latest triumph [C] draws the final [Dm] straw
Who died and lifted [C] you up [Am] to [Dm] perfection
And what silenced me is [C] returning to [Dm] love
[C] I can't believe what [Dm] circumstances stormed me
When [C] I turned my head [Dm] away
If [C] I look, I'm not sure that I [Dm] could face you
Not [Am] again, not [C] today, not [Dm] today
If hatred makes a [C] play on me [D] tomorrow
Then forgiveness take a [C]
backseat to [D] revenge
There's a hurt down deep that [C] has not been [D] corrected
There's
[Dm] a voice in [A] me that [G] says you will [D] not win
[C] And if I ignore [D] the voice inside
[C] Raise a half glass to my [D] home
[C] But it's there that I [D] am most afraid
[Am] Forgetting [C] doesn't help, just [D] hope
Now [F] I don't believe that I never did [Dm] the two humps make a right
[F] And the world will say I'm what it likes to hear
That I'm putting up a fight, putting up a fight
Putting up [Dm] a fight
[Am] Making right, [C] making right
[Dm]
But love cannot be [C] called into [Dm]
question
Forgiveness is the [C] only hope [Dm] I hold
And love, love will [C] be my [Dm] strongest weapon
I do believe that [C] I am not [Dm] alone
[C] For this fear will not [Dm] destroy me
[C] And the tears that have [Dm] been shed
[C] It's knowing now where [Dm] I am weakest
[Am] And the voice in [C] my [D] head
[C] Now rings my voice [D] up higher
[C] And I look you in [Dm] the eye
[C] That I offer love with [D] one condition
[Am] This conviction, tell [C] me why
[Dm] Tell me [Am] why
Tell me why
Give [C] me a reason
Tell [Dm] me why
