Memoir Chords

[Intro]
 
Em C  Em C D
 
 
[Verse]
 
Em               D
I was hopeless, chained to vice after vice 
Am                   C                                     Em C  Em C D
and I defied you until I prayed you would just let me die. 
Em                      D
I was finished and slept in grave after grave 
Am                                C
and waited buried, but the end I deserved never came.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em                    C
The wrath that I was owed 
C                   D
poured on your blameless son,
Em                   G
for every song I’ve sung 
G               Am
still it seems senseless.
Em                   C
The righteousness He owned, 
C                 D
free to us wicked ones. 
Em               G
I fit it in my lungs but 
G               Am
it leaves me breathless.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Em                 D
You were fearless, and took my shame upon shame 
Am                  C
and as I yielded you were crushed by the weight.
Em                  D
But It was finished when by grace upon grace
Am                  C
hell was silenced as you stepped out from your grave.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Em                    C
The wrath that I was owed 
C                   D
poured on your blameless son,
Em                   G
for every song I’ve sung 
G                  Am
still it seems senseless.
Em                   C
The righteousness He owned, 
C                 D
free to us wicked ones. 
Em               G
I fit it in my lungs but 
G                Am
it leaves me breathless.
 
Em C Em C D
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Em
Since the first time you spoke it, 
D
I've been winded and gasping for air.
Am
I can barely repeat it. 
C
I believe but I don’t understand 
Em
how for all of the violence 
D
and rebellion that heaves in my chest, 
Am
You could call me forgiven, 
C
and restore every last wasted breath.
 
 
[Outro]
 
Em
Hell go on and rage, 
D
whatever you may say 
Am
my G-d, He speaks for me 
C
and I'll not be ashamed.
Em
Hell go on and rage, 
D
you can't change a thing. 
Am
My G-d, You speak for me 
C
so I'll not be ashamed.
