Intro (same as Verse/Chorus):
Bm A D F#m
Bm A E
Verse:
Bm A D F#m
An arrow is stuck between my ribs
Bm A E
And I pray to God, Don’t let it end like this
Bm A D F#m
I fought like a man with will to live
Bm A E
But I was betrayed by the man within
How on earth did it all go down like this?
I’ve got no words to make sense of it
My shield, my fight for righteousness
Could not protect me from myself
Pre-Chorus:
F#m A
I’m looking for the higher power
E
To be my mighty tower
F#m A
Save me from myself, Oh yeah
F#m
But I’m-a fall seven more times
A E
And it ain’t nobody’s fault except mine
F#m A
There’s only one way out
Chorus (same as Verse):
Please, Lord, forgive me
I’m down on my bended knees
And I need your love
Mercy is your medicine
Help me turn around again
To You, my friend
Verse:
How long did I fool myself
Believing I, I didn’t need nobody’s help
A fool trusts in his power and his wealth
Until he’s brought down low
Unto a shadow of himself
The arrow was sent to intervene
It pierced my bones and shook me from my dream
Lord You know exactly what I need
Wounds from a friend, severe mercy
Pre-Chorus:
I’m looking for the higher power
To be my mighty tower
Save me from myself, Oh yeah
But I’m-a fall seven more times
And it ain’t nobody’s fault except mine
There’s only one way out
Chorus:
Please, Lord, forgive me
I’m down on my bended knees
And I need your love
Mercy is your medicine
Help me turn around again
To You, my friend
