C              Am           Em  
Guess I had to find out the hard way 
C          Am               Em 
The things I have come here to learn 
C                Am              Em 
The fire of this pleasure it can warm me 
F          Em          Am  
But in the end it only burns 

C               Am           Em  
He could put me high on a pedestal 
C        Am            Em 
He could rob me of my shame 
C                Am         Em 
He could hold me down under water, 'Til I 
F          Em             Am  
Could not remember my own name 


Chorus 

G          F                   Am 
In my mind I see the house I'm building 
G           F                  Am 
In my hands the hammer and the nail 
C          Am              Em 
Gonna send my wishes up to glory 
F                Em           Am  
Gonna shake that devil off my trail 


C          Am             Em  
In my time I've done some meanness  
C                 Am            Em 
Brought the ones I love so much pain 
C            Am            Em 
Pride it was eating all my heart away 
F           Em             Am  
My soul was rusting in the rain 

C              Am      Em  
All these sins I am confessing 
C               Am               Em 
They still come knocking' at my door 
C          Am              Em 
But I know better that to answer, I tell them 
F         Em              Am    
That girl don't live here anymore 

  
Chorus 

C            Am                   Em  
Ev'ry living thing is calling out to me 
C                 Am         Em 
The leaves on the trees wave me on 
C              Am              Em 
Got a wind to lift me when I'm falling 
F          Em             Am  
Got a road to put my feet upon
