MARTYRS AND THIEVES

Capo 3rd fret

C2	(x32033)
G/B	(x20033)
D9	(xx0233)
Em	(022033)
C	(x32010)
D	(xx0232)
C9	(x32030)
G	(320033)

There�s a [C2] place in the [G/B] darkness
That [D9] I used to [G/B] cling to
It [C2] presses harsh [G/B] hope against [D9] time
In the [C2] absence of [G/B] martyrs
There�s a [D9] presence of [G/B] thieves
Who only [C2] want to [G/B] rob you [D9] blind
They steal a[C2]way [G/B] [D9] any sense of [G/B] peace
Though I�m a [C2] king I�m a [G/B] king on my [D9] knees
And I [C2] know they are [G/B] wrong
When they [D9] say that I�m [Em] strong
As the [C] darkness [D] covers [G] me

BRIDGE
So [D] turn on the light and re[C9]veal all the [G] glory
[D] I am [C9] not a[G]fraid
To [D] bare all my [C9] weakness, [G] knowing in meekness
[Em] I have a kingdom to [D] gain

CHORUS
Where there is [G] peace and [D] love in the [C9] light [D]
[G] I am [D] not a[C9]fraid
To let your [G] light shine [D] bright in my [C9] life [D]
Oh [G] I... [D] [C9] [G] [D] [C9] [D]

There are ghosts from my past
Who�ve owned more of my soul
Than I thought I had given away
They linger in closets
And under my bed
And in pictures less proudly displayed
A great fool in my life have I been
Have squandered till pallid and thin
Hung my head in shame
And refused to take blame
For the darkness I know I�ve let win

BRIDGE

CHORUS

Well, I�ve never been much
For the baring of souls
In the presence of any man
I�d rather keep to myself
All safe and secure
In the arms of the sinner I am
Could it be that my worth should depend
On the crimson-stained grace on a hand?
Like a lamp on a hill
Lord, I pray in your will
To reveal all of you that I can

BRIDGE

CHORUS

There�s a place in the darkness
That I used to cling to
It presses harsh hope against time...
