[Verse]
    G                             D 
The air begins to feel a little thin 
     Bm                           A 
As I start the car and then I begin 
   G                         D 
To add the miles piled up behind me 
  Bm                           A 
I barely feel a smile deep inside me
[Verse]
      G                                D 
And I begin to envy the headlights driving south 
          Bm                             A 
I want to crack the door so I can just fall out 
     G                              D 
But then I remember when you packed my car 
    Bm                                  A 
You reached in the back and buckled up your heart 
    G     D     Bm   A 
For me to drive away with
[Chorus]
  G        D        Bm 
I began to understand 
   A         G 
Why God died 
[Instrumental]
G D Bm A [2x]
[Verse]
    G                           D 
The demon sat there waiting on her porch 
         Bm                             A 
It was a little dark so we held a makeshift torch 
    G                          D 
And when my car was far out of sight 
   Bm                                         A 
He crept in her room and stayed there for the night
[Bridge]
           G 
And then I felt chills in my bones 
             D 
The breath I saw was not my own 
          Bm 
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame 
        A 
Wasn't made to play this game 
            G 
And then I saw Him, torch in hand 
            D 
He laid it out, what he had planned 
           Bm 
And then I said, I'll take the grave 
              A 
Please, just send them all my way 
           G 
And then I felt chills in my bones 
             D 
The breath I saw was not my own 
          Bm 
I knew my skin that wrapped my frame 
        A 
Wasn't made to play this game 
            G 
And then I saw Him, torch in hand 
            D 
He laid it out, what he had planned 
           Bm 
And then I said, I'll take the grave 
              A 
Please, just send them all my way
[Instrumental]
G D Bm A
[Chorus]
  G        D       Bm 
I began to understand 
  A 
Why God died
[Instrumental]
G D Bm A [2x]
[Outro]
    G                            D 
The air begins to feel a little thin 
         Bm                          A 
As we're waiting for the morning to begin 
G                                D 
But for now you told me to hold this jar 
           Bm 
And when I looked inside, I saw 
         A 
It held your heart  
    G     D       Bm A 
For me to walk away with 
  G         D      Bm 
I began to understand 
  A 
Why God died  
G D
