Closer to myself

CAPO 1

( INTRO:  Em7  G  D 4x )


VERSE 1:

Em7     G               D
Digging deep, I feel my conscience 
burn
Em7       G            D
I need to know who and what I am
Em7         G          
This hunger jolts me from 
       D
complacency
C                   A
Rocks me, and makes me meet myself
Em7   G                  D
Jacob walked a limp to remind him
Em7            G                  
of the greater gift of the greater 
 D
one
Em7    G                  D
When I fell, I fell to my own 
resources
C                              
How can I carry your truths if I 
        A
can't even crawl to you?


Continues after the ad
G  D         Em7       C       
I wanna feel something sweeter 
          G
than this sin
            D          F       C 
Cover me in leaves and roll me 
    G
over again
                D         Em7     
Cause I've been everybody else, 
    C
now I want to be
Em7       D         C
Something closer to myself

VERSE 2:
Em7     G               D       
Paint me in a different light 
                      Em7
shed me another coat of skin
             G             D
Mark me with ash until I'm clean 
again
Em7          G                 D
Cause I'm so sick and tired of being
 sick and tired
C                        A
I know I can love you, I know that I
 can

G  D         Em7       C       
I wanna feel something sweeter 
          G
than this sin
            D          F       C 
Cover me in leaves and roll me 
    G
over again
                D         Em7     
Cause I've been everybody else, 
    C
now I want to be
     Em7   D          C
Something closer to myself
