Bb
There's a secret on the tip of my tongue
         Ab             Bb
And it's burning a hole between my lungs

There's no grace for what I have done
    Ab               Bb
But I must face what I've become
                          Ab             Bb
Hiding six feet under has always been my way
Bb
And though the honesty hurts

The lying was worse
      Ab             Bb
Can't take it to the grave


[Chorus]
               Ab   Bbm
This is my confessional
  Bb                  Ab     Bbm
Of things that I have buried low
        Bb     Ab   Bbm
This is my confessional
                  Ab       Bb
Please will you redeem my soul?


[Verse 2]
Bb
Holy water on the tip of my tongue
        Ab              Bb
There's so much sin for just 21
                    Bbm
Hear my penance and all I have done
     Ab               Bb
This self-destructive war I've won
                            Ab          Bb
I've come out from under to die another day
               Bbm
And though the honesty hurts

But the crying was worse
    Ab              Bb
Now tell me I'll be saved


[Chorus]
              Ab    Bbm
This is my confessional
                      Ab     Bbm
Of things that I have buried low
              Ab    Bbm
This is my confessional
                   Ab     Bbm
Please will you redeem my soul?


[Outro]
                                   Ab  Bbm
Throw stones if you want to (my confessional)
                                   Ab   Bbm
Break bones if you want to (my confessional)
                                         Ab    Bbm
That high horse have a good view? (my confessional)
   Bb5
I confess
