I was different
Am C Em
But, oh, now I know
I'm holy ’til you let me go
[Verse]
F
Tried to pray the pain away
Em
Just like you taught me
(But something has changed)
F
Came to shelter from the blame
Em
But I left taking all the shame
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Oh, you saw a light
Am
Starting to shine
Em G
Wanted it only for your eyes
F
Older and wise,
Am
God on your side
Em
I was the martyr who
Paid for your life
[Chorus]
Am F Em
I was innocent
Am F
When you said I was evil
Em
I took your stones and
I built a cathedral
Am
Found my peace when
C
I lost my religion
Em
All these years I wished
I was different
Am C Em
But, oh, now I know
Am F
I'm holy ’til you let me go
[Outro]
Em Am F
I'm holy till you let me go
Em Am C
I'm holy till you let me go
Em Am C
I'm holy till you let me go
Em Am
I'm holy till you let me go
