Death In Reverse

John Mark McMillan


Tom: C

 C                          F       G
You descend upon me like a rolling stone
       Am                      F          G
Like black swan raging on for all that I know
 C                               F        G
You know it unnerves me when I lose control
           Am
And I'm, all out of options
           F         G
And I'm, out of my head

[Pre-Chorus]
          Dm       G
Then I build my life around
     C           F
Someone who I thought that I was
              G
But it turns out
  C               F
All the things I do to feel young
           G       Am
They only make me old

[Chorus 1]
          C
But You raise me
         C
Like a baby
          F            G
Like a fiery Phoenix bird
              C
Oh, and You lift me up
     F
Like Lazarus
      Am           G          C
You love me like death in reverse

[Verse 2]
C                       F       G
You unearth me like a vein of gold
           Am                        F               G
With the powers that drive up the flowers from the fold
      C                             F          G
You cast me, uncursed, unearth my body and my soul
      Am                        F            G
Like fire from my ashes, like fire from my coals


[Pre-Chorus]
 Dm             G
And I build my life around
    C            F
Someone who I thought that I was
              G
But it turns out
 C                F
All the things I do to feel young
           G       Am
They only make me old

[Chorus 2]
          C
But You raise me

Like a baby
         F            G
Like a fiery Phoenix bird
             C
Oh, and You lift me up
      F
Like Lazarus
     Am            G
You love me like death
     C            F
You love me like death
     F            G         C
You love me like death in reverse

[Bridge]
     Dm     G
And all my life I've been
   C               F
Fighting for a place I could thrive
              G
But it turns out
 C                F
All the things I do to survive
           G       Am
They only make me old

[Chorus 2]
          C
But You raise me

Like a baby
         F            G
Like a fiery Phoenix bird
         C
Oh, and You lift me up
     F
Like Lazarus
     Am           G
You love me like death
      C           F
You love me like death
     F             G        C
You love me like death in reverse
