Selah Chords

Lauryn Hill : Selah
 
Amaj7  F#m
Nothing can be done against the truth
Bm   E   Amaj7
No matter how we remain in denial
Amaj7  F#m
Wasting time Replacing time With each empty excuse
Bm   E    Amaj7
But that'll only work a little while
 
Bm    E
Coping with despair
Amaj7    F#m
Knowing you're not there
Bm    E   Amaj7
Ashamed to just admit I've been a fool
Bm    E
So I blame it on the sun
Amaj7    F#m
Run away from everyone
Bm    E   Amaj7
Hoping to escape this ridicule
 
C#m    F#m
Trapped in misery
C#m    F#m
Wrapped so miserably
Bm      E   Amaj7
In this deception that I'm wearin' like a skin
C#m    F#m
Dying to maintain
C#m    F#m
Oh I keep trying to explain
Bm      E   Amaj7
A heart that never loved me to begin
 
Bm     E
Oh I'm such a mess
Amaj7    F#m
I have no choice but to confess
Bm    E   Amaj7
That I've been desperately trying to belong
Bm     E
Lying to myself
Amaj7    F#m
And everybody else
Bm    E   Amaj7
Refusing to admit my right was wrong

Selah
 Bm
oh and it means
C#m
That it is seen
 
Bm     E
How beautiful is fruit 
Amaj7    F#m
still in denial of its roots?
Bm    E   Amaj7
My guilty heart behaved so foolishly
Bm     E
This treason from within
Amaj7    F#m
That reasons with my sin
Bm    E   Amaj7
Won't be happy till it sees the death of me
 
 
Bm     E
Selfishly addicted
Amaj7    F#m
To a life that I depicted
Bm    E   Amaj7
Conflicted cuz it's not reality
Bm     E
Oh what's left of me
Amaj7    F#m
I beg you desperately
Bm    E   Amaj7
Cause me to agree to what I know is best for me
Bm     E
Please save me from myself
Amaj7    F#m
I need you to save me from myself
Bm    E   Amaj7
Please save me from myself so I can heal
 
Bm     E
The choices that I have made
Amaj7    F#m
Oh have been nothing but mistakes
Bm    E   Amaj7
What a wasted use of space Should I die before I wake?
Bm     E
In all of my religion
Amaj7    F#m
I've fortified this prison
Bm    E   Amaj7
Obligated to obey The demands of bad decisions
 
Bm     E
Please save me from myself
Amaj7    F#m
I need you to save me from myself
Bm    E   Amaj7
Please save me from myself so I can heal
