Chords:
Guitar 1
hop Strum
Intro :
I play the chop strum by palm muting, then lifting my hand so that the strings
ring a little and come down hard with a palm muted strum. The rhythm is a little
funky, but you'll get it.

Verse 1:
I keep trying to find a life
On my own apart from you
I am the king of excuses
I've got one for every selfish thing I do

Pre-Chorus:
What's going on inside of me?
I despise my own behavior
This only serves to confirm my suspicion
That I'm still a man in need of a savior
Guitar 2
Pre-Chorus: (follows the acoustic)

Guitar 1
Chorus:
I wanna be in the light as You are in the light
I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens
O Lord be my light and be my salvation
'Cause all I want is to be in the light
All I want is to be in the light
Guitar 2
Chorus: (follows the acoustic)

Verse 2:
The disease of self runs through my blood
It's a cancer fatal to my soul
Every attempt on my behalf has failed
To bring this sickness under control

Bridge:
Honesty becomes me, there's nothing left to lose
The secrets that did run me, in Your presence are difused
Pride has no position, and riches have no worth
The fame that once did cover me, has been sentenced to this earth
Has been sentenced to this earth
Pre-horus
horus
