[Intro]
Am G Am
[Verse 1]
Am
We will be the forgotten ones
They will shake their heads and pity us
G
We who sacrificed our sons and daughters
Am
With the sweet taste of victory on our lips
They will cry, but their tears will come too late
G
There is no redemption for the ones
Am
Who choose to walk in the shadows
[Chorus]
Am F
Oh sweet redeemer
G
Will you save a place for me
Em E Am
I am tired and I'm seeking restitution
Am F
Oh will you heal me
G
Will you take away my pain
E Am
What I'm looking for is absolution
[Verse 2]
Am
Getting out of purgatory is no small accomplishment
G
And the price is high
E Am
And it comes with it's own set of conditions
Am
The choice is never clear
And difficult to make
G
But it will not change them
E Am
They will just go on the way they always have
[Chorus]
Am F
Oh sweet redeemer
G
Will you save a place for me
Em E Am
I am tired and I'm seeking restitution
Am F
Oh will you heal me
G
Will you take away my pain
E Am
What I'm looking for is absolution
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Oh sweet redeemer
G
Will you save a place for me
Em E Am
I am tired and I'm seeking restitution
Am F
Oh will you heal me
G
Will you take away my pain
E Am
What I'm looking for is absolution
