A(9)       Bsus        A(9)
  I am the only one to blame for this
A(9)        Bsus             F#7sus
  Somehow it all ends up the same
A(9)           Bsus             C#m7
Soaring on the wings of selfish pride
                         A(9)    Bsus      F#7sus
I flew too high and like Icharus I collide

       C#m7            Bsus            A(9) A(9)
With a world I try so hard to leave behind
    C#m7         Bsus             A(9)         A(9)
To rid myself of all but love, to give and die


A(9)        Bsus         A(9)
  To turn away and not become
A(9)       Bsus                F#7sus
  Another nail to pierce the skin of one who loves
     A(9)            Bsus          C#m7
More deeply than the oceans, more abundant than the tears
     A(9)    Bsus             F#7sus
Of a world embracing every heartache

C#m7          Bsus        A(9) A(9)
Can I be the one to sacrifice
     C#m7              Bsus                A(9)      A(9)
Or grip the spear and watch the blood and water flow



[Chorus]
    C#m7
(To love you)

E                 A(9)
Take my world a - part
             (To  need you)

A(9)       C#m7
I am on my knees
       (To love you)

E                 A(9)
Take my world a - part
             (To  need you)

A(9)         C#m7  Bsus A(9) A(9)
Broken on my knees



A(9)            Bsus         A(9)
  All said and done I stand alone
A(9)         Bsus       F#7sus
  Amongst remains of a life I should not own
    A(9)       Bsus    C#m7
It takes all I am to believe
       A(9)       Bsus      F#7sus
In the mercy that covers me
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jars_of_clay/worlds_apart_crd.html ]
C#m7            Bsus            A(9) A(9)
Did you really have to die for me
      C#m7                               Bsus
All I am for all you are because what I need
                       A(9)
And what I believe are worlds apart
A(9)
     And I pray


[Chorus]

      C#m7  Bsus A(9) A(9)
On my knees



    C#m
I look beyond the empty cross
    B
Forgetting what my life has cost
   A(9)
I wipe away the crimson stains
    A(9)
And all the nails that still remain
 C#m
More and more I need you now
  B
I owe you more each passing hour
     A(9)
The battle between grace and pride
   A(9)
I gave up not so long ago
     C#m
So steal my heart and take the pain
     B
And wash the feet and cleanse my pride
A(9)
Take the selfish, take the weak
    A(9)
And all the things I cannot hide
 C#m
Take the beauty, take my tears
    B
My sinful soiled heart, make it pure
 A(9)
Take my world, it all is yours
 A(9)
Take it now, take it now

   C#m7                                    C#m7
To serve the ones that I despise       (To love you)
 E                                     E                 A(9)
Speak the words I can't deny           Take my world a - part
                                                    (To  need you)
     A(9)
And watch the world I used to know
 A(9)                                  A(9)       C#m7
Fall to dust and blow away             I am on my knees
                                              (To love you)
   C#m7
I look beyond the empty cross
    E                                  E                 A(9)
Forgetting what my life has cost       Take my world a - part
                                                    (To  need you)
    A(9)
So wipe away the crimson stains
    A(9)                               A(9)         C#m7
And all the nails that still remain    Broken on my knees
                                                (To need you)

      C#m7
And steal my heart and take the pain
     Bsus
And take the selfish, take the weak
    A(9)                                   A(9)
And all the things I cannot hide       (To need you)
A(9)
Take the beauty, take my tears
C#m7                                         C#m7
Take my world apart                    On my knees
                                         (To need you)
Bsus
Take my world apart
    A(9)                                   A(9)
And I do pray                          (To need you)
    A(9)
And I pray, and I pray

C#m7 Bsus           A(9) A(9)                C#m7
     Take my world apart               On my knees
            A(9) Bsus A(9)
My worlds apart
