Verse 1:

E

Batter my heart o God

                                     G#m                          C#m      A                      

Break the walls of this life you seek to mend

            E

Shatter my reason God

                                          G#m                        C#m      A

Snap this wreath that has only learned to bend

                     E

I've heard of your greatness God

                                G#m                            C#m      B

Still I can't seem to escape this mess I'm in

A

I don't know what else to do

                 B

I only can turn to you



Chorus:

A                                          E

So be severe in your mercy 

A                                          E 

Let your love take it's toll

A                                         C#m    B    A

I've been betrothed to your enemy

                                       C#m    B    A    (E into Verse 2)

I've ruined everything I control







Verse: 2

E

Have we been praying Lord

                                     G#m                           C#m      A

Or just searching for a power to call our own

                    E

Wishing for miracles

                                               G#m                        C#m       A

While sitting safe among the last unbroken hopes

                           E

I've struggled to let you in

                             G#m                         C#m      B

Just to end up the same unfinished soul

A

But I can't make you move in me

                       B                                (A into Chorus)

The One who moves everything



(Chorus)



Bridge:

B   C#m           A

Only make me yours

                 B

If you can take away this 

       C#m    A                           B                E

heatbeat in me that makes me turn away





Chorus

A                                          E

So be severe in your mercy 

A                                          E 

Let your love take it's toll

A                                         C#m    B    A

I've been betrothed to your enemy

                  C#m B  A

I've ruined everything

                  C#m  B  A   E

I've ruined everything I've controled
