/*(VI. READY)*/Fm                       G7
  Proud enough for you to call me arrogant
C7                      Fm
  Greedy enough to be labeled a thief
                      C#maj7
Angry enough for me to go and hurt a man
F#                       F
  Cruel enough for me to feel no grief

[Пред-припев]:
Fm          G#          B        D#m
Never could have just a part of it
  Fm           G#          B D#m
I always need more to get by
 Fm            G#          B         D#m
Getting right down to the heart of it
     Fm         G#        B            D#m       Fm
The root of all evil has been running my whole life

Fm                         G7
  Dirty enough for me to lust
                           G7
Leaving nothing left to trust
                             F
Jealous enough to still feel envious
Fm                         C#maj7
  Lazy enough to sleep all day
                            F#
And let my life just waste away
                            F
Selfish enough to make you wait for me

[Пред-припев]:
  Fm     G#    B        D#m
Driven blindly by our sins
   Fm     G#   B D#m
Misled so easily
   Fm     G#       B          D#m
Entirely ready to leave it behind
     Fm      G#        B  D#m
I'm begging to break free

        Cm             Fm          D# C#
The desires that keep burning deep inside

Cast them all away
                       G               F#
And help to give me strength to face another day
A#m      Fm
I am ready

Help me be all I can be

  Self-centered fear has got a hold of me
Fm       D#         G# D#
  Clutching my throat
Fm       D#        G#          D#
  Self righteous anger running all through me

  Ready to explode

Fm      D#   G#        D#    F#
  Procrastination paralyzing me
Fm     D#      G# D# /*B*/

  Won't leave my head

Take this fear and pain
Cm         A#       D#           A#    C#
I can't break out of this prison all alone
Cm          A#         D#  A# /*F#*/
Help me break these chains

 F D# G# D#     F D#  G# D#
Humility now my only hope
           F   D#    G# D#           F D# G# D#
Won't you take all of me, heal this dying soul?
