Intro: Dm5  D#  Dm5  D# 

Em 
So blinded by my own desire 
D#                            F 
I blew out our loves first fire 
Em 
A part of my life has been wasted 
D#                     F 
By choosing to live recklessly 

D#          F            Dm   C   Dm   C 
How did it come to this!? 
D#                                Dm   C   Dm   C 
But still your arms are wide open for me 

Em 
You know I feel dirty 
D#                                            F 
but you've filled your heart with my needs 
Em 
My life is so broken 
D#                                F 
But you long to put me back together 

D#         F             Dm   C   Dm   C 
How did it come to this!? 
D#                                     Dm 
I can’t stand living without you near 

Dm      Bb           F 
Better is one day in your courts 
         Gm        Dm 
Than a thousand elsewhere 

Em 
I cry out for help 'cos 
           D#                         F 
I lack the strength, purpose to live 
Em 
From all of the choices I’ll take the only one 
D#                        F 
That can change me deep within 

D#                     Dm   C   Dm   C 
How did it come to this!? 


D#                               Dm 
only you can help me, you alone 

Solo: G#  C#m  A9  E  G#  C#m  A9  E  G#  C#m  A9  E  G# 

G#       C#m 
I was enslaved by my heart 
       A9                                E                           G# 
Then you broke the chains, and freed me from all my pride 
                         C#m           A9 
And now I’d rather live at your door 
                         E                        G# 
Than starve in the rotten wealth of this EARTH 

C#m           A9 
Better is one day in your courts 

( Dm   Bb   F   Gm   Dm )
