Silent War
Standard Tuning // Key of G
Chorus
G Gadd6
One foot in front of the other
Gadd7 Gadd6
It's a silent war
Verse 1
G
I was looking for a fight to get a high
Gadd6
I was looking for a job to pass the time
Gadd7 Gadd6
Couldn't lie to myself, couldn't feel a thing
G
I was waiting for my life to get in line
Gadd6
I would wake up in the morning and I'd want to die
Gadd7 Gadd6
I would feel anxiety that controlled my mind
Pre-Chorus 1
C2 D2
I was falling down a hellish slope
C2 D2
I would grab anything to cope
C2
All the pipes and the lines
C2
And the girls and the wine came low
Verse 2
G
I had been to church just to pay my tithes
Gadd6
I was looking at God like He hustled mine
Gadd7 Gadd6
I couldn't get it, didn't want to live a lie
G
I tried the game of a middle-class saint
Gadd6
I tried the mask for a 9-5 day
Gadd7 Gadd6
Put back some pills with a whiskey chase
Pre-Chorus 2
C2 D2
I was cruising down an empty road
C2 D2
Losing every shred of hope
C2
All the pride and the dimes
C2
And the fight and the crime came low
Bridge
C2 D2 C2
Eyes crying out for something more
D2
I'm not satisfied with all the world
C2 D2 C2
Eyes crying out for something more
D2 C2
I'm not satisfied with all the world has to offer me
G Gsus
I hear a voice calling my name
G Gsus
Warmth fills my heart, it's Jesus to blame
G Gsus
I see my past melting away
G Gsus
Warmth fills my lungs with joyful praise
G Gsus G Gsus
Jesus, Jesus, I see You Jesus
G Gsus
I see Your heart, I see the light
G Gsus
I see Your heart, I see the light
G Gsus
It's Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
G Gsus
My heart fills up with love so bright
G Gsus
This love inside I can't describe
G Gsus
Depression dies when Jesus is mine
G Gsus
Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy is mine
G Gsus G Gsus
Jesus, Jesus, You fight my battles for me
G Gsus
You win the war, You win the war
