Alabaster

[Intro] G

[Verse] G Cadd9 On the outside looking in Am I've never been able to crack the code C D To break the secret spell G Cadd9 That would open up the door and let me in Am To everything I've been looking for C D So hard I've never seen

[Chorus] Em C But I feel my strength returning tonight Am It's flowing from the purest well C D To ever give water Em C Out into an ocean where the sharks are circling Am A carnival of counterfeits C D Has no room for something real G

[Verse] G Cadd9 Arrogance and ego wrapped around every word Am Shouted from the pulpit C D As a judgment to control G Cadd9 These were my roots my seed was thrown in shallow soil Am I grew into the thorn bushes C D To be scorched by the sun

[Chorus] Em C But I feel the gravel move beneath my feet Am The smell of the gasoline C D Mixed in with the trees Em C When my faith is strong I know my strength Am The threats will be screamed C D When the vultures feel threatened G

[Verse] G Cadd9 So I'll open up the door and let you in Am I want to break the alabaster C D Smell the sweet perfume G Cadd9 And when the bottle is broken I'll have nothing left to give Am I know I'll already have C D Everything worth having

[Chorus] Em C But I feel my strength returning tonight Am It's flowing from the purest well C D To ever give water Em C Out into an ocean where the sharks are circling Am A carnival of counterfeits C D Want to crucify something real G
