Intro:
[Ebm] [Gb] [Bmaj7]
Verse 1:
[Ebm]Talking to the wall 'cause, at
[Gb]least, I hear an ech[Bmaj7]echo-oh, oh-oh (Oh, oh-oh)
[Ebm]Carrying my cross 'til my [Gb]
spirit has to let go-[Bmaj7]go-oh, oh-oh (Oh, oh-oh)
[Ebm]Gave up finding [Gb]one good reason
[Bmaj7]I've stopped trying to stop this bleedin', no-[Bb]no-oh
Pre-chorus:
Runnin' out of all these [Bmaj7]alibis
(When they ask me how I'm holding [Bb]up)
I can feel me cavin' [Bbm]in
(nc)
And now all that I can say
Chorus:
[Bmaj7]It is, it [Ebm]is, it is what it [Bbm]is
All the [Ebm]things I [Bbm]couldn't change
[Bmaj7]I lay with [Ebm]someone else's [Bbm]sins
Let my [Ebm]soul just [Bbm]fly away
[Bmaj7]All the way up to [Ebm]heaven's light
[Bbm]I pound those gates with no re[B]reply
[Ebm]Oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh, [Bbm]ooh
Verse 2:
[Ebm]I feel everything and [Gb]nothing at
the same tim[Bmaj7]time (Oh, I've gone so numb)
Oh, the [Ebm]pain is so exquisite, [Gb]I
don't even ask[Bmaj7]ask why (Oh, but here you come)
You're [Ebm]walking on the water that I'm [Gb]drownin' in
[Bmaj7]Thought I heard a whisper, was it just the wind a[Bb]again?
Pre-chorus:
Oh, the trail of blood I'm [Bmaj7]followin'
(Followin', followin', followi[Bb]followin')
And if I'm the one to [Bbm]blame
(nc)
I guess all that I can say
Chorus:
[Bmaj7]It is, it [Ebm]is, it is what it [Bbm]is
All the [Ebm]things I [Bbm]couldn't change
[Bmaj7]I lay with [Ebm]someone else's [Bbm]sins
Let my [Ebm]soul just [Bbm]fly away
[Bmaj7]All the way up to [Ebm]heaven's light
[Bbm]I pound those gates with no re[B]reply
[Ebm]Oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh, [Bbm]ooh
Bridge:
Oh, when [B]I grow numb, but [Ebm]I can't weep
[Bbm]Wake up but I don't sleep
[B]And I d[Ebm]didn't choose this [Bbm]hell
Oh, when [B]I'm the wolf [Ebm]among the[Bbm]the sheep
Wake up but I don't[Abm]don't sleep
Father, save me from my[Gb]myself, ooh-hm
Outro:
[B](H[Ebm](Hm-mm[Bbm]m-mm) It is, it is, it is, it [B]is
[Ebm]Hm, [Bbm]yeah-yeah
And my [B]throat's gone numb, my [Ebm]words go dry
But [Bbm]you alone, keep me a[B]alive
[Ebm]It is, it is, it is what it [Bbm]is
