Verse:
Bb F
The air begins to feel a little thin
Dm C
As I start the car and then I begin
Bb F
To add the miles piled up behind me
Dm C
I barely feel a smile deep inside me
Bb F
And I begin to envy the headlights driving south
Dm C
I want to crack the door so I can just fall out
Bb F
But then I remember when you packed my car
Dm C
You reached in the back and bucked up your heart
Bb F Dm C
For me to drive away with
Chorus:
Bb F Dm
I began to understand
C Bb
Why God died
Interlude -x2-: Bb F Dm C
Verse:
Bb F
The demon sat there waiting on her porch
Dm C
It was a little dark so we held a makeshift torch
Bb F
And when my car was far out of sight
Dm C
He crept in her room and stayed there for the night
Bb
And then I felt chills in my bones
F
The breath I saw was not my own
Dm
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame
C
Wasn't made to play this game
Bb
And then I saw Him, torch in hand
F
He laid it out, what he had planned
Dm
And then I said, I'll take the grave
C
Please, just send them all my way
Interlude -x2-: Bb F Dm C
Chorus:
Bb F Dm
I began to understand
C
Why God died
Interlude -x2-: Bb F Dm C
Outro:
Bb F
The air begins to feel a little thin
Dm C
As we're waiting for the morning to begin
Bb F
But for now you told me to hold this jar
Dm
And when I looked inside, I saw
C
It held your heart
Bb F Dm C
For me to walk away with
Bb F Dm
I began to understand
C
Why God died
Outro: Bb F
