Mountain Goats - Isaiah 45 23

G

G C G
if my prayer be not humble make it so
G D7 C
in these last hours if the spirit waits in check help me let it go
Em G B7 C
and should my suffering double let me never love you less
G D7 G
let every knee be bent , and every tongue confess

D D7 C G
and i won’t get better but someday i’ll be free
D D7 C G
cause i Am not this body that imprisons me

G C G
i read the magazines somebody brought
G D7 C
hold them to my failing eyes until my hands get hot
Em G B7 C
and when the nurse comes in to change my sheets and clothes
G D7 G
the pain begins to travel , dancing as it goes

D D7 C G
and i won’t get better but someday i’ll be free
D D7 C G
cause i Am not this body that imprisons me

E7 Am7 D7 G x4

G C G
if my prayer goes unanswered that’s alright
G D7 C
if my path fills with darkness and there is no sign of light
Em G B7 C
let me praise you for the good times , let me hold your banner high
G D7 G
until the hills are flattened and the rivers all run dry

D D7 C G
and i won’t get better but someday i’ll be free
D D7 C G
cause i Am not this body that imprisons me

E7 Am7 D7 G x4
