C F Dm F 
You need a little makeup dear 

C F Dm F 
To cover up all your stains 

C F Dm F 
With another trick right here, yeah 

C F Dm F 
You fool them all once again 

C F Dm F 
You need a little emptiness 

C F Dm F 
Before you know what is real 

C F Dm F 
And take a little taste of wine, yeah 

C F Dm F 
To give yourself half a chance 


G Dm 
And when you're weak of holding on 

F C 
Release your wayward soul 


C G 
And with these treasures you have found 

G Dm 
The broken pieces of your crown 

Dm F 
It's time to lay your cross on down 

C 
(Lay it down) 

C G 
And with this kingdom you have now 

G Dm 
It's time to lay your cross on down 

Dm F 
You better lay it down 

C,F,Dm,F (X2) 

C F Dm F 
You carry in a bright white lie 

C F Dm F 
To cover up all your shame 

C F Dm F 
You're gonna have to testify 

C F Dm F 
To color in all your claims 


G Dm 
And when you're weak of holding on 

G 
Release your wayward soul and 

G F 
Spend your days not falling down 

G 
Before your empty idols
