Holy (Til You Let Me Go)

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
Am  Em
(2x)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 Am             F
Heavenly, that was me
         Em
A vision at seventeen
Am               F
 Loves to read, loves to dream
            Em
The college of Magdalene
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 Am               C
You saw a light starting to shine
 Em             G
Wanted it only for your eyes
Am               C
Older and wise, God on your side
Em
 I paid for your life, I paid for your life
 
 
[Chorus]
Am    F      Em                                 Am    F
       I was innocent when you said I was evil
   Em
I took your stones and I built a cathedral
 Am                    C
Found my peace when I lost my religion
Em
All these years I wished I was different
    Am   C        Em
But, oh,  now I know
     N.C.
I'm holy ’til you let me go
 
 
[Verse 2]
F
 Tried to pray the pain away
               Em
Just like you taught me (But something has changed)
F
 Came to shelter from the blame
            Em
But I left taking all the shame
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
     F                Am
Oh, you saw a light starting to shine
 Em             G
Wanted it only for your eyes
F                Am
Older and wise, God on your side
Em
 I was the martyr who paid for your life
 
 
[Chorus]
Am    F      Em                                 Am    F
       I was innocent when you said I was evil
   Em
I took your stones and I built a cathedral
 Am                    C
Found my peace when I lost my religion
Em
All these years I wished I was different
    Am   C        Em
But, oh,  now I know
                            Am    F
I'm holy ’til you let me go
 
 
[Outro]
Em                            Am    F
 I'm holy till you let me go
Em                            Am    C
 I'm holy till you let me go
Em                            Am    C
 I'm holy till you let me go
Em                            Am
 I'm holy till you let me go
