Chords for The Forgiven | Drum Version | Zain Bhikha feat. Boonaa Mohammed

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ The _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [F] _
road to salvation is filled with temptation.
[Dm] _ Trials and tribulations grant us motivation to seek out elevation so our nation doesn't fail.
But Allah will not change our [C] situation until we change [F] ourselves.
Only he can turn the impossible [Bb] into [Dm] possible.
When life is [F] full of obstacles and [D] patience is optional.
Remember [F] who's responsible in this journey we call life for guiding all us sinners [C] from
darkness into [F] light. _
The walls begin to set [Dm] in but _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ I'm not afraid cause [Dm] the darkness knows my [C] name.
_ _ [F] _
Have I fallen too far, far [Dm] beneath? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ Most days I feel like [Dm] I'm not even [C] here. _ _
_ [Bb] _ Ain't no one _ _ _ _ waiting for [F] me. _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ Don't come around, _ _ _ oh there's nothing [F] to see. _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
Lost all my love, _ _ _ wasted [Dm] my tears. _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ I've no more to lose, _ _ so I've nothing [F] to fear. _ _
I'm tearing [Gm] it down, _ _ _ this hollow [C]
ground.
_ _ There's no [F] need for goodbye. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh this world is [Bb] so cruel.
_ So goodbye gentle [F] soul. _ _
I ain't coming [Bb] back home _ like [Bb] I was [Dm]
before.
[F] _ _ _ Cause this [Gm] rabbit hole, _ _ _ [G] there's no wonders [Dm] it holds.
_ _ Only _ _ _ hell below.
[C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ Respect I gain, _
_ [Dm] a fearful name. _
_ _ _ [G] _ _
All my _ [A] 99 _ lives I [C] claim. _ _
_ [F] _ Doesn't build me up, _ _ _ [Dm] doesn't go away.
_ _ _ _ [Gm]
All those eyes, _ _ [Dm] they watch me night [C] and day.
_ _ _ [Bb] _ Is there a heaven _ _ _ still waiting for [F] me? _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb]
Can redemption come _ _ before my final [F]
sleep? _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] Or am I too far gone?
_ _ Have I fallen [Dm] too deep? _ _
Oh no holy [Gm] man, _ _ _ don't tell me [C] God _ can't forgive a man [F] like me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ I've become [Bb] so cruel.
_ [Bb] _ I thought I gained [F] but lost. _ _
There's no coming [Bb] back home. _
_ He says you get what you got.
[F] _ _ _ But to save [Gm] his soul, _ _ oh there's gotta [Dm] be hope. _
_ From the _ _ _ hell [C] below. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ 100 now, _
_ [Am] and all around. _
_ _ _ [D] _ _
Their sentence stands, [F] _ _
guilty hands [C] down. _ _
_ [F] _ But an ember burns, _ _ [Am] I feel it deep inside.
_ _ _ [Gm]
Oh learned man, _ _ tell me [F] where salvation [C]
lies.
_ _ [Bb] You gotta leave right now, _ leave this all behind. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
This place won't release you, _ they only [Bb] see your [F] cries. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] But all hope's not lost, _ _ when we have [Dm] our faith. _ _ _
For [Gm] Allah's mercy _ always, _ overcomes [Dm] his wrath.
_ _ So you can _ be [Am]
[C] saved. _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ I [D] was on my way, _ not even half but [Dm] knowing.
_ _ _ [Bb] _
_ The angels came _ to take my soul [D] away.
_ _ _ [F] _ Oh the push and pull, _ _ _ [Am]
the weight of all my sins. _
_ [G] _ And the balance against my _ [Dm] will to try [C] again.
_ But [Bb] _
then God says measure the space, two ways closest [F] to. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] Is it the hell he was running from, _ or the place that was [F] new? _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] But God makes the earth move, _ so he can rescue [Dm] you. _
_ For even if [Gm] our sins, _ _ [G] was like [Gm] water [Dm] in the ocean. _ _
Allah is [F] most merciful, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ so my [Bb] story is told. _ _
For [Bb] all our [F] souls, _ _ _ I have come [Bb] back home.
_ _ _ Despite who I was, [F] _ _ _
I never [Gm] _ imagined.
_ _ [G] And now [Dm] I behold, _ _ _ an ending so _ _ [Am] beautiful.
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ The light [D] descends, _ _ and [Dm] never ends.
_ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ And I'm not afraid, _ [Dm] for Allah knows [C] my name.
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
