Guitar 1
Intro [Chop Strum]:

E F# G#m (G#m)

I play the chop strum by palm muting, then lifting my hand so that the strings 
ring a little and come down hard with a palm muted strum. The rhythm is a little 
funky, but you'll get it. 

Guitar 1 [Chop Strum]
Verse 1:
E         F#        G#m        (G#m)
  I keep trying to find a life
      E    F#         G#m  (G#m)
On my own apart from you
E           F#        G#m   (G#m)
  I am the king of excuses
         E              F#             G#m  (G#m)
I've got one for every selfish thing I do


Guitar 1 [Chop Strum]
Pre-Chorus:
  E          F#    G#m        (G#m)
What's going on inside of me?
      E      F#     G#m     (G#m)
I despise my own behavior
           E           F#    G#m   (G#m)
This only serves to confirm my suspicion
          E              F#        G#m    (G#m)
That I'm still a man in need of a savior

I wanna be in the light as You are in the light
          E              B            F#       F#
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens 
   E          B         F#      G#m
O Lord be my light and be my salvation
       E             F#           G#m    G#m
'Cause all I want is to be in the light

All I want is to be in the light

Guitar 1 [Chop Strum]
Verse 2:
      E         F#         G#m            (G#m)
The disease of self runs through my blood
        E      F#          G#m   (G#m)
It's a cancer fatal to my soul
E          F#           G#m       (G#m)
  Every attempt on my behalf has failed 
     E                 F#         G#m  (G#m)
To bring this sickness under control

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]


Guitar 1 [Chop Strum]
Bridge:
 C#m      D#m                G#m             (G#m)
Honesty becomes me, there's nothing left to lose
     E                B               F#             (F#)
The secrets that did run me, in Your presence are difused
  C#m           B           G#m           (G#m)
Pride has no position, and riches have no worth
     E                  B                  F#               (F#)
The fame that once did cover me, has been sentenced to this earth
          F#                (F#)
Has been sentenced to this earth
