[Intro]
Bm  A  D  F#m
Bm  A  E

[Verse]
Bm   A      D                F#m
An arrow is stuck between my ribs
              Bm                A         E
And I pray to God, don’t let it end like this
Bm              A        D       F#m
I fought like a man with will to live
            Bm            A       E
But I was betrayed by the man within
Bm     A            D                F#m
How on earth did it all go down like this?
            Bm   A                 E
I’ve got no words to make sense of it
Bm A          D                  F#m
My shield, my fight for righteousness
             Bm     A       E
Could not protect me from myself

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m                              A
I’m looking for the higher power
                 E
To be my mighty tower
Continues after the ad
               F#m   A
Save me from myself, Oh yeah
F#m                            A
But I’m-a fall seven more times
                                   E
And it ain’t nobody’s fault except mine
                     F#m    A
There’s only one way out

[Chorus]
Bm A             D
Please, Lord, forgive me
         F#m          Bm
I’m down on my bended knees
      A         E
And I need your love
Bm A          D
Mercy is your medicine
        F#m          Bm
Help me turn around again
   A       E Esus4
To You, my friend

[Instrumental]
Bm A D F#m Bm A E

[Verse]
Bm  A    D            F#m
How long did I fool myself
          Bm          A             E
Believing I, I didn’t need nobody’s help
Bm     A             D             F#m
A fool trusts in his power and his wealth
                        Bm
Until he’s brought down low
       A             E
Unto a shadow of himself
Bm     A      D            F#m
The arrow was sent to intervene
              Bm        A                E
It pierced my bones and shook me from my dream
Bm       A     D             F#m
Lord You know exactly what I need
              Bm        A       E
Wounds from a friend, severe mercy

[Pre-Chorus]
F#m                             A
I’m looking for the higher power
                 E
To be my mighty tower
               F#m   A
Save me from myself, Oh yeah
F#m                            A
But I’m-a fall seven more times
                                   E
And it ain’t nobody’s fault except mine
                     F#m    A
There’s only one way out

[Chorus]
Bm A             D
Please, Lord, forgive me
         F#m          Bm
I’m down on my bended knees
      A         E Esus4
And I need your love
Bm A          D
Mercy is your medicine
        F#m          Bm
Help me turn around again
   A       E Esus4 E
To You, my friend
