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

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

               F#m   A
Save me from myself, Oh yeah
F#m                            A
But I’m-a fall seven more times
And it ain’t nobody’s fault except 
E
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           
Believing I, I didn’t need 
  E
nobody’s help
Bm     A             D           
A fool trusts in his power and 
  F#m
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      
It pierced my bones and shook me 
          E
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
And it ain’t nobody’s fault except 
E
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
