[Verse 1]Dm Bb F C
A court is in session, a verdict is in
Dm Bb
No appeal on the docket today
F C
Just my own sin
Dm Bb
The walls are cold and pale
F C
The cage made of steel
Dm Bb
Screams fill the room
F C
Alone I drop and kneel
Dm Bb
Silence now the sound
F C
My breath the only motion around
Dm Bb
Demons cluttering around
F C
My face showing no emotion
Dm Bb
Shackled by my sentence
F C
Expecting no return
Dm Bb
Here there is no penance
F C
My skin begins to burn
[Chorus] F Em
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
Em Eb
Hiding hate that burns inside
Eb Dm
Which only fuels their selfish pride
F
(And I said oh) We're held captive
Em
Out from the sun
Em Eb
A sun that shines on only some
Eb Dm
We the meek are all in one
Dm Bb F C
Dm Bb F C
[Verse 2]Dm Bb F
I hear a thunder in the distance
C Dm
See a vision of a cross
Bb
I feel the pain that was given
F C
On that sad day of loss
Dm Bb
A lion roars in the darkness
F Dm
Only he holds the key
Dm Bb
A light to free me from my burden
F Dm
And grant me life eternally
Dm Bb
Should have been dead
F
On a Sunday morning
C
Banging my head X2
Dm Bb
No time for mourning
F C
Ain't got no time
[Chorus] F Em
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
Em Eb
Hiding hate that burns inside
Eb Dm
Which only fuels their selfish pride
F
(And I said oh) We're held captive
Em
Out from the sun
Em Eb
A sun that shines on only some
Eb Dm
We the meek are all in one
F C Dm Bb
F C Dm Bb
[Bridge]F
I cry out to God
C Dm
Seeking only his decision
Bb
Gabriel stands and confirms
F C Dm Bb
I've created my own prison
F
I cry out to God
C Dm
Seeking only his decision
Bb
Gabriel stands and confirms
F C Dm
I've created my own prison
[Chorus] F Em
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
Em Eb
Hiding hate that burns inside
Eb Dm
Which only fuels their selfish pride
F
(And I said oh) We're held captive
Em
Out from the sun
Em Eb
A sun that shines on only some
Eb Dm
We the meek are all in one
F Em
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
Em Eb
Hiding hate that burns inside
Eb Dm
Which only fuels their selfish pride
F
(And I said oh) We're held captive
Em
Out from the sun
Em Eb
A sun that shines on only some
Eb Dm
We the meek are all in one
[End]F Em
Should've been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head
Eb Dm
