Intro 1

Verse 1
G G 
 
Like a man comes to an altar,
C C 
 
G G 
 
I came into this town
Bm Bm 
 
With the world upon my shoulders,
C C 
 
D D 
 
and promises passed down
Em Em 
 
Bm Bm 
 
And I went into the water,
C C 
 
D D 
 
my father, he was pleased
G G 
 
Bm Bm 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
I built it and I'll tear it down
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
C C 
 
D D 
 
so you will be set free
G G

Verse 2
I found thieves and salesmen living
C C 
 
G G 
 
in my father's house
Bm Bm 
 
I know how they got in  here
C C 
 
D D 
 
and I know how to get 'em out
Em Em 
 
Bm Bm 
 
I'm turning this place over,
C C 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
from floor to balcony
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
And then, just like these doves and sheep,
C C 
 
D D 
 
you will be set free
G G 
 

Verse 3
I have always been a lover,
C C 
 
G G 
 
from before I drew a breath
Bm Bm 
 
Some things I loved easy,
C C 
 
D D 
 
and some I loved to death
Em Em 
 
Bm Bm 
 
You see love's no politician,
C C 
 
D D 
 
because it listens carefully
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
Bm Bm 
 
So of those who come,
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
C C 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
I can't lose one, so you will be set free
C C 
 
D D 
 
Oh, you will be set free
G G 
 

Verse 4
Go on and take my picture,
C C 
 
G G 
 
go on and make me up
Bm Bm 
 
I'll still be your defender,
C C 
 
D D 
 
and you'll be my missing son
Em Em 
 
Bm Bm 
 
And I'll send out an army,
C C 
 
D D 
 
just to bring you back to me
G G 
 
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
Cause regardless of your brother's lies,
C C 
 
D D 
 
you will be set free
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 

Verse 5
G G 
 
I  am my beloved's,
C C 
 
G G 
 
and my beloved's mine
Bm Bm 
 
You bring all your history,
C C 
 
D D 
 
I'll bring the bread and wine
Em Em 
 
Bm Bm 
 
We'll have us a party,
C C 
 
D D 
 
where all the drinks are on me
G G 
 
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
And as surely as the rising sun,
C C 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
you will be set free
C C 
 
D D 
 
Oh, you will be set free
