[Verse]
 
E5
Give me the dust of my father
Stand on the face of the ancients
Bare the secret flesh of time itself
 
Follow me (Follow me)
I've come so far I'm behind again
Follow me (Follow me)
Wish so hard I'm there again
Follow me (Follow me)
Follow me (Follow me)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D5          D5/C#       C            E5
All that I wanted are things I had before
D5          D5/C#   C            E5
All that I needed I never needed more
D5          D5/C#       C            E5
All of my questions are answers to my sins
D5          D5/C#       C            E5
All of my endings waiting to begin
 
 
[Verse]
 
E5
I know the way that I faulter
Can't be afraid of my patience
There's a sacred place Razel keeps safe
 
Follow me (Follow me)
I've seen so much I'm blind again
Follow me (Follow me)
I feel so bad I'm alive again
Follow me (Follow me)
 
 
[Chorus]

All that I needed I never needed more

All of my questions are answers to my sins
D5          D5/C#       C            E5
