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

      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

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

           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
[2x]

G D Bm A


[Chorus]
  G        D       Bm
I began to understand
  A
Why God died

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
