[Verse 1]

Dm
Hey redeemer now what`s become of me?
F                      C
Taken in by promise, awakening in grief
Dm
Collecting us like puppets you instrumentalize
F                          C
A frigid trepidation in a million puppet eyes


[Pre-Chorus]

Bb            F                  Bb                 C
God gave His word just to let us down, where is He now?


[Chorus]

G           Em      D
You've been facing heaven
          C                           Am            D
You were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and
G       Em     D
Found another heaven

        C                           Am               D
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land

[Verse 2]

Dm
You scratched my back and I scratched yours
F                                    C
It's you who makes decisions, I just open up the doors
Dm
Whining in the gutter they forget their sanctity
F                            C
Welcome to my clockwork vanity machinery


[Pre-Chorus]

Bb             F                Bb             C
You gave your word, you let me down what am I now?


[Chorus]

G            Em     D
You've been facing heaven
          C                           Am            D
You were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and
G       Em     D
Found another heaven
        C                           Am               D         C
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land


[Bridge]

C                Em
Oh as far as the eye can see
                    C               Em
They're bent in submission, empty inside
            C                                Em
An army of scarecrows like me, thousands of broken dreams

              C                                 Em
Thousands of tragedies tried to run from their destiny
                     C                D
Oh, like moths to a flame, driven by vanity
                       C                   D                D
They've been off to Jerusalem, chasing a dream, calling on me
                       Dm
We're just trading in needs

[Chorus] x2

G            Em     D
You've been facing heaven
          C                           Am            D
You were lost and left alone, you're welcome to my home and
G       Em     D
Found another heaven
        C                           Am               D
It was you who took my hand, come into the promised land
