Memoir by My Epic
Memoir
[Intro]
Em C Em C D
[Verse]
Em D
I was hopeless, chained to vice after vice
Am C Em C Em C D
and I defied you until I prayed you would just let me die.
Em D
I was finished and slept in grave after grave
Am C
and waited buried, but the end I deserved never came.
[Chorus]
Em C
The wrath that I was owed
C D
poured on your blameless son,
Em G
for every song I’ve sung
G Am
still it seems senseless.
Em C
The righteousness He owned,
C D
free to us wicked ones.
Em G
I fit it in my lungs but
G Am
it leaves me breathless.
[Verse 2]
Em D
You were fearless, and took my shame upon shame
Am C
and as I yielded you were crushed by the weight.
Em D
But It was finished when by grace upon grace
Am C
hell was silenced as you stepped out from your grave.
[Chorus]
Em C
The wrath that I was owed
C D
poured on your blameless son,
Em G
for every song I’ve sung
G Am
still it seems senseless.
Em C
The righteousness He owned,
C D
free to us wicked ones.
Em G
I fit it in my lungs but
G Am
it leaves me breathless.
Em C Em C D
[Bridge]
Em
Since the first time you spoke it,
D
I've been winded and gasping for air.
Am
I can barely repeat it.
C
I believe but I don’t understand
Em
how for all of the violence
D
and rebellion that heaves in my chest,
Am
You could call me forgiven,
C
and restore every last wasted breath.
[Outro]
Em
Hell go on and rage,
D
whatever you may say
Am
my G-d, He speaks for me
C
and I'll not be ashamed.
Em
Hell go on and rage,
D
you can't change a thing.
Am
My G-d, You speak for me
C
so I'll not be ashamed.
