Am Em Bm7 C G D (x2)
[Verse]
Am Em
I’m holding my breath
Bm7
My tongue on your chest
C G D
What can be said of my heart?
Am Em Bm7
If history speaks, the kiss on my cheek
C G D
Where there remains but a mark
Am Em Bm7
Beloved my John, so I’ll carry on
C G D
Counting my cards down to one
Am Em Bm7
And when I am dead, come visit my bed
C G D
My fossil is bright in the sun
[Chorus]
Em Bm7
So can we contend, peacefully
C G D
Before my history ends?
C G
Jesus I need you, be near, come shield me
C G D
From fossils that fall on my head
Em D G C G D
There’s only a shadow of me; in a manner of speaking I'm dead
