Raisin A Boy

Am G C Am G C G


[Verse 1]
Am                                 C     G
I realize we ain't livin' in the freedom
Am                                             C
Buyin' the lie: "we need more blood to pay it off"
Am                             C       G
I'm walking on this troubled shore
 Am                              F             C     G
Finding the line between your pardon and my hands


[Bridge 1]
F          C          G
I want my resurrection, please
                                     F
So I'm letting go of all that I've seen
                C                  G
Don't give me milk, God, I want meat


[Chorus 1]
G                           F  C G
'Cause I've been raisin' a bo-y
Continues after the ad
                         F  C G
Yes I've been raisin' a bo-y
                  Am    C     G
But I ain't him anymore


[Verse 2]
Am                                           C G
Pile 'em high, I need fuel to fan the season
Am                                             C
Corner the lie, this ignorance I can't afford


[Bridge 2]
F           C              G
I want my grace-empowered peace
                                  F
So I'm letting go of all that I need
             C                G
So give me more, God, I want Thee


[Chorus 2]
                            F   C G
'Cause I've been raisin' a bo-y
                         F   C G
Yes I've been raisin' a bo-y
                 F                    C
Well I got no excuse, I ain't just a man
              G                       Am
I'm a Spirit son, I've got heart and hands
                    F     C G
I've been raisin' a bo-y
                  Am    C
But I ain't him anymore
                   Am    C   G
No I ain't him anymore

'Cause I've been raisin' a bo-y

Yes I've been raisin' a bo-y

Yes I've been raisin' a bo-y
                       F  C G   Am
Now I ain't raisin' a bo-y
