Bm          D                  Em
  You don't have to say you're sorry
Bm          D           Em
  Or redeem yourself to me, oh
Bm          D             Em
  I'm not asking for confessions
Bm          D            Em
  You don't even have to speak, no

G                             A
I need you to feel that you're more than enough
Bm                    D
I already know you're deserving of love
G                            A                  Em
It's not a question that you are the one that I need

  Time to turn this gold to lead, oh

  Time to stop taking this for granted, oh
Bm               D           Em
  Gotta keep my family fed, for life

G                              A

[Verso]

Bm                                    D
I don't know nothing about the service the clergy do in the churches
Em
I never read the book though I knew the pages were turning
Bm                                    D
I tried to sing the hymns but I couldn't think of the verses
Em
Tried to confess my sins, but I didn't know how to word it
Bm                                    D
But this is my sermon fest that I'm emotionally drained
Em
Self-medicating hoping I can cope with the pain
Bm                                    D
I need a face cause that'll fix whatever's broke in my brain
Em
Who am I kidding, no I'm going insane
                              Bm                                D
I wrote some quotes on this page, just trying to reach you in a hope you were late
     Em
Well I'll probably just throw them away
                            Bm
Cause I don't know what to say
                     D
I feel weak when I'm supposed to be brave
   Em
I seem free but I'm enclosed in a cage
                           Bm
Though I continue to ponder over the plastic
            D
And I ain't gonna do any better
   Em
Do I whimper from the future, and buckle under the pressure
 Bm                                     D
I knew I stepped to the plate, and gon' take the chance with my life
     Em
Come face to face with the darkness so I can stand in the light like

[Verso]

Bm       F#m               Em
  When I feel your love upon me
Bm        F#m          Em
  I know I am truly blessed
Bm             D                   Em
Sometimes we've gotta face the darkness
Bm             D         Em
Just lead me to the light again
