Verse
C#m B
On a canvas we stained with blood and painted with our sins
F#m A
There's a candle melting and it's burning at both ends
C#m B
We'll take and take till it caves and drowns us in the wax it drips
F#m A
Like a moth to the flame, you never should've fucking lit
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
You can give sight to the blind
B
But you can't force them to see
F#m
You could take us back in time
A
But it wouldn't change a thing
[Chorus]
C#m B
If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from His home
F#m A
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would surely tell us no
C#m B
If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from his throne
F#m A
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would tell us we can't go
[Verse 2]
C#m B
To a rat in a maze, the end is where the start begins
F#m A
But if we made it out, I know that we would do it all again
C#m B
We live and die in vain like treasure on a sinking ship
F#m A
All in the name of a God we'd just abandon and forget
[Chorus]
C#m B
If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from His home
F#m A
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would surely tell us no
C#m B
If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from his throne
F#m A
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would tell us we can't go
[Bridge]
C#m
We're dying every day
B
Tell me, is it all in vain?
F#m
Is it worth the suffering?
A C#m B A F#m
Is it worth the price we paid?
C#m B
Is it worth it?
F#m A
Yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
You can give sight to the blind
B
But you can't force them to see
F#m
You could take us back in time
A
But it wouldn't change a thing
[Chorus]
C#m B
If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from His home
F#m A
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would surely tell us no
C#m B
If God came down from His kingdom, He came down from his throne
F#m A
And we asked Him if He'd take us back, He would tell us we can't go
[Refrain]
C#m B
Blinded by a fear of feeling, these are the kings we chose
F#m A
Lost and looking for the meaning, I've been searching high and low
C#m B
When we fade into nothing, when we go up in the smoke
F#m A
We'll beg God for a mercy that He knows we'd never show
[Outro]
C#m
You can give sight to the blind
B
But you can't force them to see
F#m
You could take us back in time
A
But it wouldn't change a fucking thing
