[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
