[Shotty Horroh]
Bm D
I don't know nothing about the service the clergy do in the churches
Em
I never read the book though I knew the pages were turning
Bm D
I tried to sing the hymns but I couldn't think of the verses
Em
Tried to confess my sins, but I didn't know how to word it
Bm D
But this is my sermon fest that I'm emotionally drained
Em
Self-medicating hoping I can cope with the pain
Bm D
I need a face cause that'll fix whatever's broke in my brain
Em
Who am I kidding, no I'm going insane
Bm D
I wrote some quotes on this page, just trying to reach you in a hope you were late
Em
Well I'll probably just throw them away
Bm
Cause I don't know what to say
D
I feel weak when I'm supposed to be brave
Em
I seem free but I'm enclosed in a cage
Bm
Though I continue to ponder over the plastic
D
And I ain't gonna do any better
Em
Do I whimper from the future, and buckle under the pressure
Bm D
I knew I stepped to the plate, and gon' take the chance with my life
Em
Come face to face with the darkness so I can stand in the light like
[Verse]
[James Arthur]

Just lead me to the light again
