[Verse 1]

C                                Am/C    Asus4/C      
 The morning comes like an enemy soldier
C                                Am/C    Asus4/C    
 I feel the weight across my shoulders
Am                             F        
  I feel the shadows getting colder
               C    Am/C   Asus4/C
But that ain’t you
C                               Am/C    Asus4/C
 This noose ain’t getting any looser
C                            Am/C    Asus4/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

[Verse 2]

C                               Am/C   Asus4/C
 I get caught chasing my own illusions
C                           Am/C    Asus4/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 2]

          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

[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 3]

          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 was the day that I found God
