[Intro]
Am Em
(2x)
[Verse 1]
Am F
Heavenly, that was me
Em
A vision at seventeen
Am F
Loves to read, loves to dream
Em
The college of Magdalene
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C
You saw a light starting to shine
Em G
Wanted it only for your eyes
Am C
Older and wise, God on your side
Em
I paid for your life, I paid for your life
[Chorus]
Am F Em Am F
I was innocent when you said I was evil
Em
I took your stones and I built a cathedral
Am C
Found my peace when I lost my religion
Em
All these years I wished I was different
Am C Em
But, oh, now I know
N.C.
I'm holy ’til you let me go
[Verse 2]
F
Tried to pray the pain away
Em
Just like you taught me (But something has changed)
F
Came to shelter from the blame
Em
But I left taking all the shame
[Pre-Chorus]
F Am
Oh, you saw a light starting to shine
Em G
Wanted it only for your eyes
F Am
Older and wise, God on your side
Em
I was the martyr who paid for your life
[Chorus]
Am F Em Am F
I was innocent when you said I was evil
Em
I took your stones and I built a cathedral
Am C
Found my peace when I lost my religion
Em
All these years I wished I was different
Am C Em
But, oh, now I know
Am F
I'm holy ’til you let me go
[Outro]
Em Am F
I'm holy till you let me go
Em Am C
I'm holy till you let me go
Em Am C
I'm holy till you let me go
Em Am
I'm holy till you let me go
