Creed
Difficulty: novice
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: none
[Verse]
[D] [A#] [F]
A court is in session, a verdict is in
[D] [A#]
No appeal on the docket today
[F] [C]
Just my own sin
[D] [A#]
The walls are cold and pale
[F] [C]
The cage made of steel
[D] [F] [A#]
Screams fill the room
[F]
Alone I drop and kneel
[D] [A#]
Silence now the sound
[F] [C]
My breath the only motion around
[D] [A#]
Demons cluttering around
[F] [D]
My face showing no emotion
[D] [A#]
Shackled by my sentence
[F] [C]
Expecting no return
[D] [A#]
Here there is no penance
[F]
My skin begins to burn
[Chorus]
[F] [Em]
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
[Em] [D] [D#]
Hiding hate that burns inside
[D#] [D]
Which only fuels their selfish pride
[F]
(And I said oh) We're held captive
[C] [Em]
Out from the sun
[Em] [C]
A sun that shines on only some
[D#] [D]
We the meek are all in one
[Solo]
[D] [A#] [F] [C] [D]
[Verse]
[D] [A#] [F]
I hear a thunder in the distance
[F] [D]
See a vision of a cross
[D] [A#]
I feel the pain that was given
[F] [C]
On that sad day of loss
[D] [A#]
A lion roars in the darkness
[F] [D]
Only he holds the key
[D] [A#]
A light to free me from my burden
[F] [D]
And grant me life eternally
[D] [A#]
Should have been dead
[F]
On a Sunday morning X2
[C] [D]
Banging my head
[D] [A#]
No time for mourning
[F] [C] [D]
Ain't got no time
[Chorus]
[C] [F] [Em]
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
[C] [D#]
Hiding hate that burns inside
[D]
Which only fuels their selfish pride
[F] [C]
(And I said oh) We're held captive
[Em]
Out from the sun
[D]
A sun that shines on only some
[D#] [D]
We the meek are all in one
[Guitar break]
[F] [C] [D] [A#] [F] [C] [A#] [D] [A#]
[Bridge]
[F]
I cry out to God
[C] [D]
Seeking only his decision
[A#]
Gabriel stands and confirms
[F] [C] [D] [A#]
I've created my own prison
[F]
I cry out to God
[C] [D]
Seeking only his decision
[A#]
Gabriel stands and confirms
[F] [C] [D]
I've created my own prison
[Chorus]
[A#] [F] [Em]
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
[C] [D#]
Hiding hate that burns inside
[A#] [D]
Which only fuels their selfish pride
[F]
(And I said oh) We're held captive
[Em]
Out from the sun
[C] [D#]
A sun that shines on only some
[D]
We the meek are all in one
[D] [F] [Em]
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
[C] [D#]
Hiding hate that burns inside
[A#] [D]
Which only fuels their selfish pride
[D] [F]
(And I said oh) We're held captive
[Em]
Out from the sun
[D#]
A sun that shines on only some
[D] [F]
We the meek are all in one
[F] [Em]
Should've been dead on a Sunday morning
banging my head
[D#]
No time for mourning
[F] [D]
Ain't got no time
