[Verse 1]
Cadd9 C Am/C C2 C5 C Am/C C2
The stone
Cadd9 C Am/C C2 C5 C Am/C C2
Heard inside
Cadd9 C Am/C C2 C5 C Am/C C2
The first breath of life

It rolled as it shook
F
By the ground where they stood
Cadd9 C Am/C C2
Where the angels stood by

Oh the sight
[Bridge 1]
G7
And when the men for fear and dread
F
Were hiding safe away
G7
The door burst wide and woman's voice cried
F
There's none inside the grave
Cadd9 C Am/C C2 C5 C Am/C C2 x2
[Chorus 1]
F
There was a way; even death he would break
F
For the fires that preyed on the innocent burned to the ground
Cadd9 C Am/C C2 C5 C Am/C C2
F
Torn by the sound of his voice to the ground
F
Came the oh-oh-oh-oh: the curtain came finally down.

to become like the one
