Verse:
GD
The air begins to feel a little thin
BmA
As I start the car and then I begin
GD
To add the miles piled up behind me
BmA
I barely feel a smile deep inside me
GD
And I begin to envy the headlights driving south
BmA
I want to crack the door so I can just fall out
GD
But then I remember when you packed my car
BmA
You reached in the back and bucked up your heart
GDBmA
For me to drive away with
Chorus:
GDBm
I began to understand
AG
Why God died
GDBmA }x2
Verse:
GD
The demon sat there waiting on her porch
BmA
It was a little dark so we held a makeshift torch
GD
And when my car was far out of sight
BmA
He crept in her room and stayed there for the night
G
And then I felt chills in my bones
D
The breath I saw was not my own
Bm
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame
A
Wasn't made to play this game
G
And then I saw Him, torch in hand
D
He laid it out, what he had planned
Bm
And then I said, I'll take the grave
A
Please, just send them all my way
[2x]
GDBmA
Chorus:
GDBm
I began to understand
A
Why God died
GDBmA }x2
Outro:
GD
The air begins to feel a little thin
BmA
As we're waiting for the morning to begin
GD
But for now you told me to hold this jar
Bm
And when I looked inside, I saw
A
It held your heart
GDBmA
For me to walk away with
GDBm
I began to understand
A
Why God died
