Intro: Em - D - C - B (2x)

Verse:

  Em        D             C      B
I feel your eyes crawling over me
Em          D             C          B
As though I am something more than me
    Em      D        C                   B
But I don't have anything good enough to say
Em        D           C      B
I did not make myself this way

Pre-Chorus:

C             Bm
I'll show you what he did
C           Bm       (G)
But I won't take the credit
C             Bm
It's not mine anyway
C               Bm
I just held the pen that day


Chorus:
            Em
And I don't deserve this
           C 
This time right now
         G                                  D
It's not something for which I can take the bow
            Em
And I don't deserve this
      C
It wasn't me
             G                               D
I can't take glory for something that I can't be
                 Em - D - C - B
I don't deserve this

Em - D - C - B

  Em        D           C      B
I know what perfection is like
Em           D              C      B
And I cannot stand before its might
    Em     D                 C                 B   
And I'm so far from what you think that I must be
Em          D            C   B
I just drown myself in mercy

(Pre-Chorus, Chorus)

Bridge:

Em          D          C           B
And all the art that I supposedly create
Em          D           C          B
Is simply a faded reflection of something he's already made

(Chorus)
