C       C/B           Am          G 
It's so easy to cash in these chips on my shoulder,
    F       F/E             F             G
So easy to lose this whole tongue like a tiger.
      C       C/B           Am          G 
It's easy to let all this bitterness smolder,
         F       F/E         F         G
Just to hide it away like a cigarette lighter.
      F                    G           C
It's easy to curse and to hurt and to hinder.
      F                    G           C
It's easy to not have the heart to remember
      C      C/B          Am            G          F   F/E  F  G
That I am a priest and a prince in the kingdom of God.


[Verse]

          C           C/B          Am          G 
I've got voices that scream in my head like a siren
 F            F/E         F            G
Fears that I feel in the night when I sleep.
        C         C/B         Am          G 
Stupid choices I made when I laid in the mire,
        F         F/E          F            G
Like a kid in the mud on some dirty, blind street.
          F                         G          C
I've got sorrow to spare, I've got loneliness too.
          F                         G              C
I've got blood on these hands that hold on to the truth,
      C      C/B          Am            G            F   F/E  F  G
That I am a priest and a prince in the kingdom of God.


[Bridge]

        F                           G             C    C/B   Am  G
Well I swore on the bible to not a lie, but I've lied and lied.
       F                           G                    G7
And I've crossed my heart and I hoped to die, and I've died and died.


[Verse]

             C             C/B         Am          G            F          F/E        F             G
But if it's true that you gathered my sin in your hand and you cast it as far as the east from the west,
         C             C/B        Am         G            F            F/E               F         G
If it's true that you put on the flesh of a man, and you walked in my shoes through the shadow of death,
         F                          G           C               F                      G     C 
If it's true that you dwell in the halls of my heart, then I'm not just a fool with a fancy guitar.
     C      C/B          Am            G        F      F/E          F             G         
No, I am a priest and a prince in the kingdom, I am a priest and a prince in the kingdom of God.
