intro : Em – D – C – B ( 2x )

verse :

Em D C B
i feel your eyes crawling over me
Em D C B
as though i Am something more than me
Em D C B
but i don’t have anything good enough to say
Em D C B
i did not make myself this way

pre – chorus :

C Bm
i’ll show you what he did
C Bm ( G )
but i won’t take the credit
C Bm
it’s not mine anyway
C Bm
i just held the pen that day

chorus :
Em
and i don’t deserve this
C
this time right now
G D
it’s not something for which i can take the bow
Em
and i don’t deserve this
C
it wasn’t me
G D
i can’t take glory for something that i can’t be
Em – D – C – B
i don’t deserve this

Em – D – C – B

Em D C B
i know what perfection is like
Em D C B
and i cannot stand before its might
Em D C B
and i’m so far from what you think that i must be
Em D C B
i just drown myself in mercy

( pre – chorus , chorus )

bridge :

Em D C B
and all the art that i supposedly create
Em D C B
is simply a faded reflection of something he’s already made

( chorus )
