Stole My Fame To Grace

             A
You threw me down
             A
You stole my fame
              A
You would not stop until
                 E
You crucified my name
            E
You took my boast
              E
Put it in the ground
             E
Buried it in water
                        A
Now the water’s showin’ how
                        A
I got this spotless reputation
       A
Not my own
                A
Give me joy and fire
                      E
Keep it burnin’ in my soul
          E
But every triumph
           E
I count as mine
            E
It turns to stone
                               A
And stone don’t often catch on fire


[Verse]

              A
So spend some time with me
                  E
Grace, spend some time with me
E
Take these stone shackles
    A
And set me free
                  D
Just give me what fire
     D
Will need to burn
             A
Show me that true love
    A
And I’ll return
         A            E           A
But till then I’ll forget you and say


[Chorus 1]

             A
You threw me down
             A
You stole my fame
              A
You would not stop until
                 E
You crucified my name
            E
You took my boast
              E
Put it in the ground
             E
Buried it in water
                        A
Now the water’s showin’ how
                        A
I got this spotless reputation
       A
Not my own
                A
Give me joy and fire
                      E
Keep it burnin’ in my soul
          E
But every triumph
           E
I count as mine
            E
It turns to stone
                               A
And stone don’t often catch on fire


[Bridge]

F#m                      D                  A
If joy is like a fire burnin’ in my soul
       E     F#m
(In my soul)
                 D                    A      F#m
The last thing I desire is to feed it stone
                       D
Cuz stone will just pretend to be your friend
             A                    C#7
Because he’s warm inside the fire
                 F#m
(Warm inside the fire)
                         D
But in time he will grow cold
                D
And you’ll grow cold
          E
Until you know the reason why


[Chorus 2]

                   A
So please throw me down
             A
And steal my fame
             A
Please don’t stop until
               E
You crucify my name
        E
Take my boast
              E
Put it in the ground
           E
Bury it in water
                        A
Now the water’s showin’ how
                        A
I got this spotless reputation
       A
Not my own
                A
Give me joy and fire
                      E
Keep it burnin’ in my soul
          E
But every triumph
           E
I count as mine
            E
It turns to stone
                               A
And stone don’t often catch on fire
