C                         Em
   I asked our father and he said
C                              Em
   It don't get no easier once you're dead
C                                          Em
   This whole universe is just mud and bone
C                              Em
   And you carry what you can alone

[Pre Chorus]
C                                    Em
There's total depravity staring back at me
C                                          Em
There's total depravity standing right in front of me

[Chorus]
C                           Em
   I try to look away and I fail
C                           Em
   I try to look away and I fail

[Verse 2]
C                         Em
   I asked my mother what went wrong
C                                   Em
   She said:"It's been bad all along
C                                    Em
   And you'd better face the butcher straight
C                                  Em
   You don't want to end up on his plate, son

[Chorus]
C                           Em
   I try to look away and I fail
C                           Em
   I try to look away and I fail
C
There's total depravity
                         Em
I try to look away and I fail
C                                           Em
There's total depravity standing right in front of me
