Capo 3


C2- 000230

                EmAm I a barren temple left for newer ways
                Am                      COf speaking mysteries my veils cannot contain
           EmShould I prepare to winter spend again
             Am                               C     Am-single strumOf silent centuries' speech for only certain men

           EmWhat if I wait to find You've gone
                AmWhat if Your presence was withdrawn
             EmAnd I was mistaken all along
                        AmTo think that I could become your home
                                Em    Am  C2  CIt'd be no surprise to finally know

             Em    Am  C2  CI am truly alone
                                        Em         Am 
D-single strumCome death, but likely sooner I'll be alone

                   Em  Am  D-single strumYou moved your temple
                         Em  Am  D-single struminside our bones and it's
                           Em  Am  D-single strumSo hard to trust that You

won't move again
Em                                          Am                
C  Am    For all eternity, You stood with Your Father in perfect unity
Em                                           Am    And when You walked the earth, You only went where He led
          C            AmYou only spoke what He said
         Em                                AmSo for everything You left, and all of the glory You forfeit
           EmNo matter how low You were sent
                   Am                           Em      Am  
C2  CYou still couldn't know what it's like to be alone

                                 Em  Am  C2  CDisgraced, but You were never alone
                               Em  Am  C2  CBetrayed, but You were never alone
                            Em    Am  C2  CTortured, but still never alone
                                  EmAnd nothing is worse than being alone

                              AmI have been thinking hard about us trading place
Em                        Am   Maybe I can wear Your beauty if You put on my shame
                  EmJesus, I've been trying so hard to look like You
               AmThat I almost missed the worst of what I put You through
                    EmYou didn't die for sins, You died covered in them
                  AmA prideful, lying thief, gasping out my final breath


Em  Am  D-single strum

                    Em  Am  D-single strumFor that one moment
                         Em  Am  D-single strumYou looked just like me
                      Em  Am  D-single strumYour Father left you
                           Em   Am  C2  CAnd You died completely alone

                   Em  Am  C2  CFor me, You were alone
                                       EmYou couldn't marry so He left You all alone
            Am  C2 CNo better promise    than sympathy
                          Em(You conquered death all alone)
                      Am C2 C'Cause you know the deepest of all our needs

Never again, never alone

Em  Am  C2  C  C2 (x2)
