[verse] Bb F The air begins to feel a little thin Dm C As I start the car and then I begin Bb F To add the miles piled up behind me Dm C I barely feel a smile deep inside me Bb And I begin to envy the headlights F driving south Dm I want to crack the door so I can just C fall out Bb F But then I remember when you packed my car Dm You reached in the back and C buckled up your heart Bb F Dm C For me to drive away with [chorus] Bb F Dm I began to understand C Bb Why God died [bridge] x2 Bb F Dm C [verse] Bb F The demon sat there waiting on her porch Dm It was a little dark so we held a C makeshift torch Bb F And when my car was far out of sight Dm He crept in her room and C stayed there for the night [pre-chorus] x2 Bb And then I felt chills in my bones F The breath I saw was not my own Dm I knew my skin that wrapped my frame C Wasn't made to play this game Bb And then I saw Him, torch in hand F He laid it out, what he had planned Dm And then I said, I'll take the grave C Please, just send them all my way [bridge] Bb F Dm C [chorus] Bb F Dm I began to understand C Why God died [bridge] x2 Bb F Dm C [outro] Bb F The air begins to feel a little thin Dm C As we're waiting for the morning to begin Bb F But for now you told me to hold this jar Dm And when I looked inside, I saw C It held your heart Bb F Dm C For me to walk away with Bb F Dm I began to understand C Why God died [post-outro] Bb F
