Silent War

Standard Tuning // Key of G // G Shapes

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

Cmaj7/G                      D2

       I was falling down a hellish slope

Cmaj7/G                           D2

       I would grab anything to cope

             C/G

All the pipes and the lines 

                                    Cmaj7/G

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

Cmaj7/G                            D2            

        I was cruising down an empty road

Cmaj7/G                      D2

        Losing every shred of hope

            Cmaj7/G

All the pride and the dimes

                                     Cmaj7/G

And the fight and the crime came low

Bridge

Cmaj7/G                         D2                     Cmaj7/G

      Eyes crying out for something more

                                          D2

I'm not satisfied with all the world

        Cmaj7/G                    D2                 Cmaj7/G

Eyes crying out for something more 

                                          D2                    Cmaj7/G

I'm not satisfied with all the world has to offer me

G                       Gsus6

I hear a voice calling my name

              G                         Gsus6

Warmth fills my heart, it's Jesus to blame

                 G                         Gsus6

I see my past melting away

              G                            Gsus6

Warmth fills my lungs with joyful praise

   G       Gsus6             G                   Gsus6

Jesus, Jesus, I see You Jesus

                  G                      Gsus6

I see Your heart, I see the light

                   G                       Gsus6

I see Your heart, I see the light

        G                    Gsus6

It's Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

      G                           Gsus6

My heart fills up with love so bright

        G                     Gsus6           

This love inside I can't describe

        G                                  Gsus6

Depression dies when Jesus is mine

G                           Gsus6

Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy, joy is mine

G       Gsus6     G                    Gsus6

Jesus,            Jesus, You fight my battles for me

       G                          Gsus6

You win the war, You win the war
