(Bm7* Dadd2 Em7 C) x 2
Bm7* Dadd2
As I walk through the valley of the
Em7 C
shadow of L.A.
Bm7* Dadd2
The footsteps that were next to me have
Em7 C
gone their separate ways
Bm7* Dadd2
I've seen enough now to know that beautiful things don't
Em7 C
always stay that way
Bm7* Dadd2
I've done enough now to know this beautiful place isn't
Em7 C
everything they say
G D/F# Em7 C
I heard that evil comes disguised
G D/F# Em7 C
like the city of angels I'm walking towards the light
G D/F#
Baptized in the river I've seen a
Em7 C Cadd2 D*
vision of my life And I wanna be delivered
G D/F#
In the city I was a sinner I've done a
Em7 C Cadd2 D*
lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer
G D/F#
Like the prodigal son I was out on my
Em7 C Cadd2 D*
own Now I'm trying to find my way back home
G D/F# Em7 C
D*
Baptized in the river I'm delivered I'm delivered

Bm7 Dadd2
You’re from a small town You're gonna grow up fast
Em7 C
underneath these lights.
Bm7 Dadd2
Down in Hollywood on the boulevard, the
Em7 C
dead come back to life.
Bm7 Dadd2
To the praying Mother the worried Father,
Em7 C
Let your children go.
Bm7 Dadd2
If they come back they'll come home stronger, and
Em7 C
if they don't you'll know
G D/F# Em7 C
They say that evil comes disguised
G D/F# Em7 C
like the city of angels I'm walking towards the light
G D/F#
Baptized in the river I've seen a
Em7 C Cadd2 D*
vision of my life And I wanna be delivered
G D/F#
In the city I was a sinner I've done a
Em7 C Cadd2 D*
lot of things wrong But I swear I'm a believer
G D/F#
Like the prodigal son I was out on my

own Now I'm trying to find my way back home
G D/F# Em7 C
D*
Baptized in the river I'm delivered I'm delivered
G D/F# Em7 C Cadd2 D*
Baptized in the river (on my own)
Baptized in the river (on my own)
Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered
Baptized in the river (on my own) I wanna be delivered
