Empty As The Grave

Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
G
 
[Verse 1]
G           D           C
It happened in the garden first
G         D           C
The enemy tried to bend Your Word
G                 D
From the mouth of the deciever
C                              G
Said the fruit was even sweeter
G              D           C
And that you'd never break the curse
 
[Chorus]
                G      D
But that lie is empty, empty,
C            G
Empty as the grave
            G     D                C                G
You claimed every victory when the stone was rolled away,
         G             D
And even death has lost its sting
         C        G
Lost its power over me
            G      D      C
That lie is empty, empty, empty
                 G    D    C    G
Empty as the grave
 
[Verse 2]
G            D             C
And then You walked the wilderness,
G             D             C
hell tried to find its voice again
G             D
Tempted Jesus with an altar,
C                                  G
sent the worlds what He could offer,
              D               C
and said "you couldn't conquer sin"
 
[Chorus]
            G      D
That lie is empty, empty,
C            G
Empty as the grave
            G     D                C                G
You claimed every victory when the stone was rolled away,
     G              D
Even death has lost its sting,
         C        G
Lost its power over me
            G      D      C
That lie is empty, empty, empty
                 G
Empty as the grave
 
[Bridge]
       D                    C
No the nails weren't strong enough
                 G
to keep You there
         D                 C
when You gave Your life for us,
                     G
even death ran scared
          D            C
When they sealed the tomb
                     G
that they laid You in
     D     C
Hosanna was the end
 
[Chorus]
N.C.
But that lie is empty, empty
N.C.
Empty as the grave
             G     D                C              G
Oh You claim every victory when the stone was rolled away,
     G             D
Even death has lost its sting,
         C        G
Lost its power over me
            G      D      C
That lie is empty, empty, empty
               G      D      C
Oh that lie is empty, empty, empty
                  G    D    C    G
Empty as the grave
 
[Outro]
                  G   D   C   G
Empty as the grave
N.C.
Empty as the grave
