that's not quite the way it sounds on the album)

[A(9)] I am the [Bsus]only one to [A(9)]blame for this
[A(9)] Somehow it[Bsus] all ends up the [F#7sus]same
[A(9)]Soaring on the [Bsus]wings of selfish [C#m7]pride
I flew too high and like [A(9)]Icharus [Bsus]I collide[F#7sus]

With a [C#m7]world I try so h[Bsus]ard to leave beh[A(9)]ind[A(9)]
To r[C#m7]id myself of [Bsus]all but love, to [A(9)]give and die[A(9)]

[A(9)] To turn aw[Bsus]ay and not be[A(9)]come
[A(9)] Another n[Bsus]ail to pierce the sk[F#7sus]in of one who loves
More [A(9)]deeply than the [Bsus]oceans, more a[C#m7]bundant than the tears
Of a [A(9)]world em[Bsus]bracing every hea[F#7sus]rtache

[C#m7]Can I be the o[Bsus]ne to sacrif[A(9)]ice[A(9)]
Or gr[C#m7]ip the spear and w[Bsus]atch the blood and w[A(9)]ater flow[A(9)]

(Chorus)
(To [C#m7]love you)

[E]Take my world a - [A(9)]part
(To need you)

[A(9)]I am on my [C#m7]knees
(To love you)

[E]Take my world a - [A(9)]part
(To need you)

[A(9)]Broken on my [C#m7]knees[Bsus][A(9)][A(9)]

[A(9)] All said and d[Bsus]one I stand a[A(9)]lone
[A(9)] Amongst rem[Bsus]ains of a l[F#7sus]ife I should not own
It t[A(9)]akes all I [Bsus]am to be[C#m7]lieve
In the [A(9)]mercy that [Bsus]covers me[F#7sus]

[C#m7]Did you really h[Bsus]ave to die for m[A(9)]e[A(9)]
All I [C#m7]am for all you are because what I n[Bsus]eed
And what I believe are [A(9)]worlds apart
[A(9)] And I pray

(Chorus)

On my [C#m7]knees[Bsus][A(9)][A(9)]

I lo[C#m]ok beyond the empty cross
Forg[B]etting what my life has cost
I w[A(9)]ipe away the crimson stains
And [A(9)]all the nails that still remain
M[C#m]ore and more I need you now
I [B]owe you more each passing hour
The b[A(9)]attle between grace and pride
I g[A(9)]ave up not so long ago
So st[C#m]eal my heart and take the pain
And w[B]ash the feet and cleanse my pride
[A(9)]Take the selfish, take the weak
And [A(9)]all the things I cannot hide
T[C#m]ake the beauty, take my tears
My s[B]inful soiled heart, make it pure
T[A(9)]ake my world, it all is yours
T[A(9)]ake it now, take it now

To [C#m7]serve the ones that I despise (To [C#m7]love you)
S[E]peak the words I can't deny [E]Take my world a - [A(9)]part
(To need you)
And w[A(9)]atch the world I used to know
F[A(9)]all to dust and blow away [A(9)]I am on my [C#m7]knees
(To love you)
I l[C#m7]ook beyond the empty cross
Forg[E]etting what my life has cost [E]Take my world a - [A(9)]part
(To need you)
So w[A(9)]ipe away the crimson stains
And [A(9)]all the nails that still remain [A(9)]Broken on my [C#m7]knees
(To need you)

And st[C#m7]eal my heart and take the pain
And t[Bsus]ake the selfish, take the weak
And [A(9)]all the things I cannot hide (To [A(9)]need you)
[A(9)]Take the beauty, take my tears
[C#m7]Take my world apart On my [C#m7]knees
(To need you)
[Bsus]Take my world apart
And [A(9)]I do pray (To [A(9)]need you)
And [A(9)]I pray, and I pray

[C#m7] [Bsus]Take my world a[A(9)]part [A(9)] On my [C#m7]knees
My worlds ap[A(9)]art[Bsus][A(9)]
