[Printable version]

[Intro]
A Bm  G Bm
A D   G
 
 
[Verse 1]
A           Bm
 We started out strong
 
But somewhere along
G            Bm
 We lost our way
A               D
 Done things in Your name
 
I'm so ashamed
G             D
 I don't have the words to say
A                 Bm
 We've killed and destroyed
 
Stolen and blamed
G            Bm
 All in Your name
A               D
 You told us to give
 
Told us to love
G                D
 But we chose to take
A                   Bm
 You laid down Your life
 
Put power aside
G                  Bm
 Showed us the Way and the Truth
A             D
 We roll into church
 
Open the Word
       G                        D
And forget that we're called to include
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A               Bm
 Now, it's long overdue
 
But I can't dilute
G                     Bm
 What we seem to havе put on the shelf
A                  D
 I can't speak for us all
 
But I gotta bеlieve
G                 D
 I'm speakin' for more than myself
 
When I say
 
 
[Chorus]
    A      Bm         G  Bm
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
    A      Bm         G
I'm sorry, so sorry
    A      Bm         G  Bm
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
    A      Bm         G
I'm sorry, so sorry
 
 
[Verse 2]
A       Bm
 We say that we're one
 
But we're broken up
G                 Bm
 By anything that can divide
A          D
 Our color o' skin
 
The clothes we're in
G              D
 That valley's deep and wide
A            Bm
 We overlook the broken
 
The homeless
G            Bm
 And discard the poor
A             D
 While we celebrate the rich and the beautiful
G            D
 With a wide-open door
A                Bm
 I'm sorry we're nothing like You
    G               Bm
You chose to bear a cross
A             D
 We choose to give You parts of us
G               D
 And rarely the parts that cost
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
A               Bm
 Now, it's long overdue
 
But I can't dilute
G                     Bm
 What we seem to havе put on the shelf
A                  D
 I can't speak for us all
 
But I gotta bеlieve
G                 D
 I'm speakin' for more than myself
 
When I say
 
 
[Chorus]
    A      Bm         G  Bm
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
    A      Bm         G
I'm sorry, so sorry
    A      Bm         G  Bm
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
    A      Bm         G
I'm sorry, so sorry
 
 
[Bridge]
        A                                 Bm
Wake us up, wake us up, wake us up, Lord
        D                           G
Wake us up, wake us up, wake us up
        A                                 Bm
Wake us up, wake us up, wake us up, Lord
        G
Wake us up, wake us up, wake us up
 
 
[Chorus]
    A      Bm         G  Bm
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
    A      Bm         G
I'm sorry, so sorry
    A      Bm         G  Bm
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
    A      Bm         G
I'm sorry, so sorry
 
 
[Bridge]
        A               Bm          G  Bm
Wake us up, wake us up, wake us up
        A               D                  G
Wake us up, wake us up, wake us up, Lord
        A               Bm          G  Bm
Wake us up, wake us up, wake us up
        A               D                  G
Wake us up, wake us up, wake us up, Lord

And shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for My sake
