Em
So blinded by my own desire

I blew out our loves first fire

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

only you can help me, you alone

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
