Defining Me

C  G      C  G
C  G G/F# Em G

       C                    G
On the precipice of nothing new
          C                      G
Fell into question all I held as truth
                 C                     G
It seems there's holes in all my fairy tales
   G/F#    Em                     G
Despite my passion to preach them well

              C                    G
A yell hushed after many long worn years
                 C              G
Not a failure to launch, but to persevere
              C                     G
Being one so close to write upon my arm
  G/F# Em                     G
A testament I've since torn 'part
       Em                     G
A testament I've since torn 'part

          C
All these rings around my wrists
         Am                    Em
How they scream who I am in this
              C
Who I am in this

        C                      G
I'm not sanctified and I'm not free
           Em                  G
There's no love that's come to rescue me
        C                       G
Bend my heart and even break my knees
               Em                       G
But it's these chains that are defining me
                Em                       G
Yeah it's these chains that are defining me

       C                     G
Sin is all I've been able to wield
             C                      G
It's been my sword and even been my shield
             C                G
And death O' death is my only home
  G/F#       Em                        G
A grave so familiar I could call it my own

                C                      G
'Cause a loving grace could only go so far
              C                    G
As to show my wounds and reveal my scars
      C                      G
A medicine I've taken to get well
  G/F#       Em                      G
But the aftertaste is that of my own hell
             Em                      G
But the aftertaste is that of my own hell

        C                      G
I'm not sanctified and I'm not free
           Em                  G
There's no love that's come to rescue me
        C                       G
Bend my heart and even break my knees
               Em                       G
But it's these chains that are defining me
               Em                      G
Oh it's these chains that are defining me
               Em                      G
Oh it's these chains that are defining me

      C                       G
I met Jesus, yeah he came to me
              C                         G
And he said "Son, do you want to believe?"
               C                        G
I cried "Oh help me from the grave I'm in
   G/F#      Em                     G
And teach me life and who I really am."

         Em                    Am
Teach me life and who I really am
      Em
Who I am
      C
Who I am
              Am
Oh God, who I am
      Em
Who I am
      C
Who I am
         Am
Oh who I am
      Em
Who I am
      C
Who I am


        C                      G
I'm not sanctified and I'm not free
           Em                  G
There's no love that's come to rescue me
        C                       G
Bend my heart and even break my knees
               Em                       G
But it's these chains that are defining me
               Em                      G
Oh it's these chains that are defining me

        C                      G
I'm not sanctified and I'm not free
           Em                  G
There's no love that's come to rescue me
        C                       G
Bend my heart and even break my knees
               Em                       G
But it's these chains that are defining me
               Em                      G
Oh it's these chains that are defining me
