[Intro]

C /// | Am/C /// | C /// | Am/C ///

[Verse 1]
C Am/C
The morning comes like an enemy soldier
C Am/C
I feel the weight across my shoulders
Am F
I feel the shadows getting colder
C Am/C
But that ain’t you
C Am/C
This noose ain’t getting any looser
C Am/C
I get so fearful about the future
Am G F
I hear the shame of my accuser
C E7
But that ain’t you

[Chorus]
F C
I found strength, but it wasn’t what I thought
F C
I found peace in the places I forgot
F E/G#
I found riches ain’t the things that I had bought
Am G
I found out the day I lost myself

Was the day that I found God

[Instrumental]

C /// | Am/C /// | C /// | Am/C ///

[Verse 2]
C Am/C
I get caught chasing my own illusions
C Am/C
I get so lost in these confusions
Am G F
I keep on looking for my own solutions
C E7
But that ain’t you, that ain’t you no

[Chorus]
F C
My enemies weren’t the ones I had fought
F C
And my liberties weren’t the freedoms I had sought
F E/G#
What I learned weren’t the lessons I’d been taught
Am G
I found out the day I lost myself

Was the day that I found God

[Instrumental]

F /// | C /// | F /// | C /// | F /// | E/G# /// | Am /// | G ///

[Bridge]
Am F2
Where is God out in the darkness?
Am F2
’Cause the voices in my head ain’t talking honest
Am G F2
They’re saying maybe you made us then forgot us
C E7
But that ain’t you, that ain’t you no

[Chorus]
F C
And all I know is that I still don’t know a lot
F C
I don’t know how it ends, I’m in the middle of this plot
F E/G#
Yeah, and I found grace for the man that I am not
Am G
Yeah, I found out the day I lost myself
Am G/B
Yeah, I found out the day I lost myself
Am G
Yeah, I found out the day I lost myself
C Am/C
Was the day that I found God

[Outro] (many times)
