Isaiah 45 23 chords by The Mountain Goats

G

   G
If my prayer be not humble make it so
     C
In these last hours if the Spirit waits in check help me let it go
   C
And should my suffering double let me never love You less
  G
Let every knee be bent, and every tongue confess


   G
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free
      G
Cause I am not this body that imprisons me

 G
I read the magazines somebody brought
C
Hold them to my failing eyes until my hands get hot
  C
And when the nurse comes in to change my sheets and clothes
   G
The pain begins to travel, dancing as it goes



   G
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free
      G
Cause I am not this body that imprisons me



G  x4


  G
If my prayer goes unanswered that's alright
  C
If my path fills with darkness and there is no sign of light
    C
Let me praise You for the good times, let me hold Your banner high
G
Until the hills are flattened and the rivers all run dry



   G
And I won't get better but someday I'll be free
      G
Cause I am not this body that imprisons me
