                      da da dum     ooh       dada da dum

E       F#        G#m          B*      E    F#        G#m   F#
i keep trying to find a life,   on my own apart from You
E         F#        G#m    B*         E             F#
i am the king of excuses,   i've got one for every selfish
        G#m
thing i do

(release palm mute)
E            F#   G#m                E       F#    G#m
What's going on inside of me?   i despise my own behavior
          E            F#   G#m
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
         E              F#        G#m
that i'm still a man in need of a Savior
             E         B         F#             G#m
     i wanna be in the Light, as You are in the Light
             E              B            F#
     i wanna shine like the stars in the Heavens
        E           B          F#       G#m
     Oh Lord, be my Light, and be my salvation
            E             B            F#
     'Cause all i want is to be in the Light, oh  oh oh oh oh
     E             B            F#
     All i want is to be in the Light

(palm muted)
    E          F#        G#m               B*
The disease of self runs through my blood,
       E      F#          G#m (G#m-G#m-G#m)
it's a cancer fatal to my soul
E        F#            G#m              B*
Every attempt on my behalf has failed,
   E                   F#       G#m
to bring this sickness under control

(release palm mute)
         E           F#   G#m         B*     E       F#    G#m
Tell me what's going on inside of me?   i despise my own behavior
(despise my own behavior)
          E            F#   G#m           B*
This only serves to confirm my suspicions
         E              F#        G#m
That i'm still a man in need of a Savior  (ooh yeah)

             E         B         F#             G#m
     i wanna be in the Light, as You are in the Light
             E              B            F#
     i wanna shine like the stars in the Heavens
        E           B          F#       G#m
     Oh Lord, be my Light, and be my salvation
            E             B            F#
     'Cause all i want is to be in the Light, (ye-ah)
     E             B            F#
     All i want is to be in the Light

C#m       D#m               G#m
Honesty becomes me (there's nothing left to lose)
    E                B               F#
The secrets that did run me (in Your Presence are refused)
C#m          D#m          G#m
Pride has no position (as riches have no worth)
    E                  B                  F#
The pain that once did cover me has been sentenced to this earth
