Tom: F
F Am G
Word of life on severed tree
F Am G
I picked it up and took a swing
F Am G
My pastor told us, "Don't you worry
F Am G
Even Zacchaeus found his glory"
[Chorus]
Dm C Am G
I was a sprinter then
Dm C Am G
Living to see it end
[Verse 2]
F Am G
Well, pastor lost his position
F Am G
Went down for pornography
F Am G
So I found myself some ground to stand
F Am G
Bound to be the better man
[Chorus]
Dm C Am G
'Cause I was a sprinter then
Dm C Am G
Living to see it end
[Verse 3/Bridge]
F Am G
Wound up in a holding pattern
F Am G
Circled my landing in a lather
F Am G
Unnerved I laughed, I planned the snag
F Am G
Then went down for a dipso jag
[Chorus]
Dm C Am G
'Cause I was a sprinter then
Dm C Am G
Dying to see it end
Dm C Am G
I was a sprinter then
Dm C Am G
Dying to see it end
[Instrumental]
Dm C Am G x2
Dm C F Bb x2
[Outro]
Dm C
There's freedom to and freedom from
F Bb
Freedom to run from everyone
Dm C
There's freedom to and freedom from
F Bb
Freedom to run from everyone
Dm C
Well, what I did is what is done
F Bb
The baptist in me chose to run
Dm C
But if there's still time to choose the sun
F Bb
I'll choose the sun, I'll choose the sun
Dm C
I'll run it back, I'll choose the sun
F Bb
I'll run it back to everyone
Dm C
If there's still time, I'll choose the sun
F Bb
And I'll run it back to everyone
