Chords in this song7

Verse 1

I swear, my time is coming soon
These visions fill my head
Can't play with darkness, pay no dues
It gets you in the end
I see this bloody path I walked
It tears me up inside
Em C(Bm) D Em
Just a kid who wanted a normal life
C(Bm) D Em
That fell into the night
Wish that I could make it right

Chorus

May the weary and burdened, lay it down
Let the darkest of hearts be found
Every shackle be broken, grace abound
Let the light guide us home
May the light guide us home

Verse 2

Solitude's no way to grow
Was crying out alone
No one ever listened, ever showed
This fragile heart grew cold
So tired of being invisible
Fear felt better than ignored
'Nother idiot who got some power
C(Bm) D Em
I made sure I was heard
Now all I can feel is remorse

Chorus

May the weary and burdened, lay it down
Let the darkest of hearts be found
Every shackle be broken, grace abound
Let the light guide us home
May the light guide us home

Bridge

Em*
I know you feel your destiny
Is tied within these memories
I promise if you let me we can turn around
There's good in you, it's clear to see, ignore all the deceit
It don't have to take you down
Em*
Everybody's got their pain
The hatred trying to take their reins
You know we really are the same, just broken souls
The difference is the side you take
The choice is yours to make
We can let this anger go
Send the demons back to Sheol
Let the light come guide you home
Let there be      
Let there be     
Let there be light   
Let there be light   

Chorus

May the weary and burdened, lay it down
Let the darkest of hearts be found
Every shackle be broken, grace abound
Let the light guide us home
May the light guide us home
E*
I'll take back my life
I'll take back my life
I'm sorry
So sorry
Swear, I'll make it right
